Fjallraven Vidda Pro Ventilated Regular Trousers - Dark Olive

  1 of 14

  Brilliant for the UK autumn! These are perfect for those cold-start days that become uncomfortably warm. They're lighter and warmer than jeans, with greater water and wind resistance and don't take days to dry. My only issues with them are there's no mesh in the vents and no rear pockets, apart from that they're great.

  These are a brilliant pair with all the extras. Ideal for Summer or Autumn, the stretchy material in the crotch is really comfortable and the boot clips with ankle-poppers work fine. You might want to look at the braces as these do fit a bit higher.

  These are excellent warmer weather trousers with all the usual great features from Fjallraven. The ventilation zips work really well when you need to dump excess heat quickly, and the stretchy material in the gusset/inside leg gives added flexibility and mobility. The waist is cut high which is comfortable, and the adjustable hems with lace hook are great. If I have one criticism it’s that I would have liked Fjallraven to place some mesh underneath the ventilation openings to stop bugs or debris getting in, but it’s a fairly minor detail in what is a great product overall.

  Purchased these trousers as I work as a gardener so wanted some trousers that would take knee pads to look after my joints as I get older. I'm 6'1' and the regular length fits well however, when kneeling I found that I was resting on the lower part of the knee pads . I have spoken to Fjallraven who have confirmed that the longer leg trousers have the knee pads located 2.5cm lower down the trousers, so I would probably order the longer legs going forwards. The trousers themselves are really well made and designed well. The thigh pockets are positioned so that any contents do not get in the way and as a bonus I found that the poppered loop, located just above the right hand thigh pocket, neatly secures my secateurs holster in the pocket for handy access. I have only waxed the seat and the lower front and it does a good job of keeping the thick of the water off. My body temperature tends to operate on the warmer side of normal, so I usually wear shorts 365 days of the year. These trousers are however not too warm and the vents are a real bonus if you start to over heat. Overall a great buy, even though they are more expensive than similar trousers like the revolution race pants. Had the knee pad pockets been located a little lower then these trousers would have received 5 stars. If you are never going to fit knee pads, I would say that the regular length trousers are fine for someone of my height, but if you are, I would go for the long leg.

  These Vidda Pro Ventilated trousers were ordered as I already have some of the non-ventilated trousers, which are great but I wanted something a bit more up to date, with a bit of stretch. They suffer from the same problem as the other 'regular' leg Fjallraven legwear in that they are too long, and trying to find a short version in my size was difficult to say the least. I got a tailor to take these up a couple of inches and now they are fine. Good pockets, tough material, comfortable to wear, hopefully walking companions for years to come. From reviews I thought that these would be a bit slimmer in the leg, I guess the reviews are wrong, they are just as baggy as the standard trousers. I rarely use the boot lace hook but the straps at the bottom of the legs are often employed, especially when there is mud around. I wish that UK companies would carry a fuller range of colours and sizes.

  Very good quality and good fit. Worth paying a bit more for a quality product that looks good and should last for a long time. Fast delivery, no complaints!

  First I want to congratulate Woodlore for their excellent service in response time and communications. Last week I ordered another pair of Fjallraven Vidda Pro trousers, (the vented version this time), and was so pleasantly surprised to receive them within 2 days of ordering. Unfortunately, these seemed to be one size too big, so I promptly returned them by post on the Friday afternoon, but again I was pleasantly surprised to receive an email first thing Monday morning confirming the receipt of the returned trousers and the correct size being sent out. Today, Tuesday I have received the correct size versions and have to say, bearing in mind the difficult (Pandemic) times we are living through, I am very impressed with the turn around service as well as the very clear communications throughout. Why can't other companies work like this??? Many others seem to treat the pandemic as a reason to provide rude unhelpful service..... Anyway, I have no need to review the Fjallraven trousers further as I have done so before, except to say I think the fitting of the Vented version is even more comfortable and better fitted, making them look less like a dedicated outdoor garment and more like a leisure wear product. Top marks to Ray Mears Woodlore and their staff, I recommend visiting these guys for all your outdoor and leisure wear before anywhere else.

  A fantastic pair of great looking trekking trousers, I've walked many miles since I purchased these about a month ago ( the plus side of the 2020 pandemic) the fit is perfect so just choose your regular size. The updates of the original Vidda Pro trousers are worth the extra money.

  Not used in earnest yet but very happy with trousers, well-made and fit great. Only comment is they are quite high waisted so as a 'large' chap I may need to think about braces for comfort as an alternative. Service was perfect no complaints at all. Oh and later I bought the matching Fjallraven canvas belt which is good as well.
