Fjallraven

Vidda Pro Trouser - Women's

Make a new style instead of changing the fit?

I am giving 3 stars and hoping Fjallraven reads consistent reviews saying the same thing because I too am so bummed my favorite trouser does not exist anymore. I never thought I would spend so much on trousers but when I first found the Keb style they were on sale, seemed to fit good, and I liked all the features so I gave it a go! They quickly became my favorite pair and I wanted more at any cost. I was happy to pay full price. I decided to try on the different fits and landed on the Vidda pro. Hands down my favorite fit, most comfortable, most durable trouser I have ever owned. It's been a couple years now so I finally decided it was time for another pair. Unfortunately, the "improved fit" has taken them from being my favorite trouser, to a trouser I will likely never buy again. I started at 5 stars because I loved my Vidda pros so much, I recommended them to everyone. I took off a star because sizing no longer makes sense. The size I used to wear that was perfect is now WAY too small, and the next size up is too big. I took another star off because the fit has totally changed, which was my favorite part about the old trouser. I wish fjallraven would have made a new fit instead of altering this one. Especially the extra tapered leg down to the boot. I would buy again if they went back to the old fit. But now I can't find any fjallraven trouser with a more boot cut fit. They are all incredibly skinny and hug too tight. I'm bummed! I only own a few pairs of the old fit, I would have stocked up if I knew they were going to completely change it. If you ever bring the old fit back I'll buy more! Until then... signing off.

The Perfect Pants

I call these my Pants, capital P. I have zero notes, they’re perfect. Huge pockets, reinforced knees, waist hits at my actual waist, did I mention multiple huge pockets? I will wear these forever.

Bummed about poor fit

Size Bought:

8 & 10

Height:

5' 5"

I was initially very excited to receive these pants, as the material quality is really fantastic and looks ready for hard-core use. But after trying two sizes, they just don't fit. I would have thought that for such rugged-ready pants they would expect to make room for a little more musculature around the upper legs and thighs, but it's completely tight and pinching. No way I can use these while climbing over logs off-trail. I even have narrow hips, so this was a bit shocking.

Smallest size is still a bit roomy

I ordered these because I was looking for a pair of autumn-winter weight, significantly water resistant hiking trousers that would fit my 5 foot 3 inch 100 lb frame. These are very roomy but the waist band is small enough to keep them from falling down. So, I decided to keep them. They are warm and they kept me completely dry through hours of hiking in light-to-moderate rain. Also, they don't make an annoying whispering noise as you walk.

great for cool weather or off trail traverse

I have 2 older style fit trousers (I still love them and they are holding up well) but I love the new improvements. The new style actually flatters ones bum. The older styles didn't really do much for the rear view, but Fjall is correct (improved fit ) is an understatement. Great quality, and now an even better fit. The fit guide is spot on. Don't skip the measurement part (and don;t be afraid when you are a bigger size than you are used to, the fit guide is accurate). This is my 4th pair of Fjallraven trousers (all different styles) and I love them. This is the thickest pair I have and great for fall/winter or off trail to prevent scratches.

Perfect Pants!

Bought for my wife, fit is excellent. 5'2" tall, 138lbs, size 8 is a perfect fit. These appear to run true to size, definitely not small.

Bring Back the old fit!

I absolutely love these pants. I am a forest technologist and it is so hard to find good durable pants for women that stand up to consistent bush work. My pants have lasted several years of rigorous use however they are starting wear out and pull apart at the seams. Things cannot last forever but am very impressed on the longevity of these pants. I would have given 5 stars however they have changed the fit of these pants. I ordered the same size to replace my old pants however the "improved fit" make them much to small and the size up are much too big. Very sad that there is such huge variation between the sizes now. I hear I am not the only the one that think the sizing is off now.... unfortunately I am forced to look elsewhere for durable hiking pants.

Sizing off

The sizing for these trousers is SO off. I am a UK size 8 waist 26 inches, with pretty minimal curves around my hips and thighs, so bought the small as per the size guide. They’ve just arrived and I can barely sit down they are so tight, not just around my waist but only around my thighs???

great product: forever pants

Familiarity:

I returned this product before using it

great pants, the sizing is hard had to do a swap. but great customer service on the return/exchange!! hope it goes well.

Superb fabric and fit

I purchased a size, 32-inch waist and a 39-inch-long. It fits me! I am 4’11” and I weigh 104 lb. The length is a bit long on me, but that can’t be helped. I cinch the leg opening so that they stay on my ankles. I have a ventilated pro I purchased in 2018. I wore that exclusively when I went hiking and camping, as well as urban prowling. But I wasn’t too happy with stretchy fabrics. Though making movements of legs and hips easier, they stretched out, pilled, and became raggedy looking. I wanted pants with all g-1000 that would last forever. The blue color is gorgeous and I love the high waist. The pockets, of course, are not only strategically placed and therefore highly functional but also somehow fashionable! I just wish that fjallraven considers offering petite sizings for all their clothes, especially pants.
