Fjällräven Vida Pro Ventilated Trousers: The Ultimate Hiking Companion?
After years of searching for the perfect hiking pants, I finally found them: the Fjällräven Vida Pro Ventilated. But are they truly the holy grail of hiking apparel? In this honest review, I'll share my personal experience, from the first wear to countless adventures. Discover if these trousers are worth the hype and if they've earned a permanent spot in my hiking gear arsenal.

Hardest thing ever to find a good pair of outdoor kecks if you're old like me and got used to wearing army surplus as a kid. Of course living in Norway I could easily go for a wander with a knife AND an axe! My biggest complaint is that the newer fits are rubbish if you've got big thighs. For that reason i often go for hunting kecks instead, but I'll deffo give the Fjällräven a go if I find some in the sales. For me, the articulated knee is a massive bonus, as is the reinforced backside. I'm currently in a pair of Lundhags that have somehow survived all sorts of use and abuse.

Great review Phil. Now I have to save up for the jacket you reviewed and these trousers. 😀📷👍

I agree they are great trousers. Durable, quality construction and versatile. My only criticism is that the forward placement of the thigh pockets can restrict mobility if you place anything bulky in the pockets, like a thick map, thick gloves etc. For a winter trouser, I think the Vidda Pro original is far better.

They’re good points. I’ve not tried the non ventilated to compare. I know from previous walking trousers I really like having the option to vent in warmer weather. Being Fjallraven I’ve found that the majority of what they make is great 👍

Nice review, Phil I had never heard of ventilated trousers. I could see how they could come in handy. Beautiful scenery 😊

Great review and I like that they are windproof and have plenty of pockets. I like a large pocket to slide my phone into where I know it won't slip out 👍

Pro ventilated! Check. Always want to let out steam. Will the ticks get in? Mmm G1000. Wasn’t that the bad robot in the second terminator film? A large map pocket! Lost on us. Pretty poor map readers. Oh yes Lace hooks. That will keep the scrubs out. Oh a knife pocket. This is a much younger demographic Phil. Oh an axe hook. I’m back. Love the stretchy crotch material. Happy it keeps the wind out. Will it let it out too? Sold ❤

😂😂😂 Nick. It’s all a rouse mate. The only reason I got them, was my constant need to let some hot air out 🙈 Thanks for watching mate 😁👍

Hi Phil Oh Men's Ventilated trousers I have never thought of or purchased haha zipper on the thigh is very unique. I was amazed by ventilated zipper..I have never met hikers have ventilated zipper opened material race and hook on the bottom water resistance, unfortunately not water proof numbers and sizes of pockets..I have to remember which pockets my belongings belong to Does it come with reasonable price? How is washing instruction? washable at home or dry cleaning? well done. It seems last forever... Thank you Phil. Excellent review product. You are convincing so many potential buyers! I always thank YOU for supporting kayak7seas
