Fjallraven  Vidda Pro Ventilated Trousers - Women's

I spent several days shoveling snow in these pants when they arrived. They don't cling or accumulate sweat. They really do repel the wetness of the snow. The weight is just right for winter activity. Vents are great. Pockets, adjustable cuff design... All wonderful. But I found a problem when I wore them to pull my pulk: I can't comfortably use the leg loops on my harness due to the thin, stretchy material at the crotch of the pants. Since the loops are essential to keep the hip belt from riding up, and winter trekking with my pulk is what I bought the pants for, it's a real disappointment. Is there a similar pant without the thin, stretchy material at the crotch? If so, I'll get them and keep these for all other winter activities.

I've had my eye on the Vidda Pro trousers for a long time, but they've never fit me right. This new update with the stretch panel right by the inner thigh makes a world of a difference! I really like the updates they made here and I feel that I'll be able to use these a lot more during the summer months with the new ventilation system. My only wish is that they would come in a long version, if I'm not careful about what shoes I wear it could become a bit of a high water situation for me.

First off, I wish the vidda pro’s came in a curved fit like the Kebb. My waist is smaller than my hips, so the pants keep riding down. Also, my thighs and bum are tight in the pants. I got a 42 which I believe would have been fine if I got the kebb curved, but the vidda’s are pretty straight somewhat similar to a men’s fit. The mid waist was a nice rise. The pocket on the right front leg is great and has a bit of an extender which I liked a lot. I found the front pocket on the left leg much tighter and hard to fit anything into. The colour in the orange is awesome and looks great. Some loose threading on the corners of pockets. All in all, good pants for someone who isn’t curvy with thick legs. I’m 5’10 and found the 42’s length to be OK. I wear a 34 inseam or or long pant and my American Eagle jeans are 8 Long.

I love the pants, I would've loved to buy the regular Vida pants, not ventilated, but they didn't have my size in a color I wanted. My first pair of Vida pants I bought are women's size US 27-28. I wear them but they are a bit big and I can't wear them hiking because the fabric bunches enough around the waist to rub. Then I got some Vida's in men's size US 27-28 and they are smaller than the women's 27-28 and fit me great. But now they don't have any that small in men's, so I found the women's vented in the right size, 26 and color. I wish that they kept the regular number of belt loops, and also I wish they didn't make the slash pockets smaller. I would have also preferred the G1000 material in the gusseted crotch instead of the lighter weight fabric. But nonetheless, I love the pants and I love the dark olive solid color. If you spend a lot of time outdoors, hiking, working in the woods etc, the pants are awesome.

These fit oddly. You can select your waist size like men’s pants but the leg length increases with waist size. As if we are all built like that! Ha!

One other reviewer mentioned this, but wanted to reiterate how much more fitted these are than previous version. I am 5’10 125lbs and have the old version in size 29 and was thinking of going a size smaller because they were pretty baggy. I’m glad I did not and stuck with 29, I consider them a good fit.

I gave these a go as my first pair of hiking trousers. I definitely was not disappointed. I have a slim/straight build so I love that they updated these to be a slightly slimmer fit than the original Vidda Pros. The G1000 material is what makes these trousers stand out to me. The entire trouser is this heavily water resistant material and I've been able to wear them in the pouring rain and watch them dry instantly. They're versatile in the fact that you can wear them in cold and warm weather. I've worn them in 30 degree temps with a base layer underneath while cross country skiing and I've also worn them in 60/70 degree temps using the side ventilation zips on the thighs. I'm 5'5" and 110 lbs with a slim build. I went with a size 36 EU which is a waist size of 27-28". They were a touch long for me so I took advantage of Fjallraven's free alterations in store. The tailor measured me in store and sent them back to me at the perfect length two weeks later. I originally asked her to make them extremely tapered but she explained to me that with hiking trousers you should leave the cuff wider so that if you want to wear them over a boot you can. She showed me that the buttoned strap adjustments at the leg endings do the tapering for you and I've used them ever since!
