This is what other customers say:
I have two pairs of regular Vidda Pro trousers since 2019 and they still look like new, these are the usual Vidda pro style, quality and robustness for mild weather or mountain summer, made with a G1000 version that looks like ripstop. Same accessories, same pockets, same fit. Waist is somewhat low, like the regular Vidda Pro.

Overall these are excellent lightweight trekking trousers.
I think I am between sizes (34", 86.4 cm, jeans are too tight but 36", 91.4 cm, are a bit loose). I purchased EU size 52 (approx 36") which are comfortably loose. I think a smaller size (50) would be too tight. I have the Fjallraven Abisko Midsummer belt which is elasticated and really does a superb job of making the trousers a comfortable fit. In addition I am 1.96 m (6' 5 ") tall and the new length Fjallraven long leg (86 cm, 34") is perfect. The elasticated phone pocket is great! I've worn the trousers several times including a short 12 km hike and they are super comfortable and functional. I start my long trek (about 400 km) in September so that will be the big test.

Well featured trousers, cargo pockets, boot hooks, ankle adjustment cool on warm days.
However: waist is cut too low to be comfortable on treks when carrying a pack. Material is described as ‘lite’ I would say flimsy is more accurate. I walk a lot in the Scottish Highlands and they lasted only 6 months before they were all torn round the lower legs. I expected more from trousers in this price bracket.

I bought the Vida Pro trousers last year, but I can't wear them in the summer because they are too warm. So I bought a pair of the Lites in green to wear in the summer. I like them so much, I'm going to buy another pair in grey. I've got rid of all my jeans; I'll only wear these from now on. The fit is amazing, very comfortable, and looks great.
