I’ve been wearing Vidda Pro trousers for the last 35 years or so, and usually had a couple of pairs on the go. Brilliant durable trousers that I have worn for everything from hiking and outdoor work to skiing in the mountains of Norway (with long johns underneath).
The design has changed over the years, but always had enough freedom of movement to accommodate all my activities.
This latest version, however, is much more close fitting than previously, possibly in an effort to be more stylish in appearance, but hopeless for crouching down, raising a leg or skiing in comfort. I’m greatly saddened by this – it seems Fjallraven have prioritised looks rather than function.
Fabric and construction still seem very good, and fine if you don’t mind really close fitting trousers and don’t move around that much, but no longer the functional trousers that comfortably allow a full range of movement that have served me well over the years. (Incidentally, it’s not me getting larger - all my other clothes fit fine!)
These have been my default legwear for years, and now I’m going to have to look for an alternative. Would appreciate suggestions Woodlore. Thanks

Dear DT, We are very sorry to hear that the trousers you recently received have had their design altered slightly over the years to that which you are used to. An alternative option for you to look at may be the Sasta Jero Trousers. If you have any questions please do feel free to get in contact with us at your earliest convenience by email.
