Thanks for the review! I was trying to decide if I should purchase the vidas and if so what color. I wanted a color/style that would look good with my tan, Black Diamond suede session shoes. Looks like you just answered both questions lol

Shop our entire Vidda Pro Ventilated range: www.trekitt.co.uk/facetresults.aspx?Term=vidda%20pro%20ventilate

The seat is single layer only, and not double layer as stated here. The pockets are comically tight and restrictive of movement when there is anything in them. The knee pads ride up and give no protection when kneeling as they're too short. I found the seams around the crotch area started to wear into holes after a few weeks of regular use. The Barents Pro is a MUCH better trouser in all the areas I've mentioned above. Waxing not mentioned here but forget the bar wax and go for a tinned option. I used Barbour Thornproof wax on my Barents Pro trousers and it's a much nicer looking and feeling result, besides being more effective.

Imagine saying “I don’t know why you would carry an axe” to an outdoor community😅

Any review of the new Arcteryx norvan lt coming?

Does this have reinforced rear on the butt? they look green like the knees but they are or not doubled layers? i am concern about the rear because i sit on often on rocks and ground in the desert. the ones i saw they did not have double layers on the back..

Yup, the seat and knees are double-layered for added durability.

Hi, how would you compare sizing between the Ventilated Vidda Pro and the classic one? Is your size 50 equal or tighter on the ventilated? Thansk

Waist sizing is exactly the same. Main difference is around the lower leg. Harry

In my experience I’ve never had luck with double zips, they always seem to fail. But I’m guessing these have been made to a high quality. If anyone owns these could they tell me if the zip vent works well? Thanks guys

They do. They also have a great warranty program if you have any issues.

Somehow nobody mentions that pockets on the ventilated model are pretty useless. If you stick anything thicker than a mobile phone in any of the pockets, your movement will be severely restricted. The knife pocket is narrow. It is actually too narrow for most knives. You can fit like couple of models of Morakniv or smaller Fallkniven (like F1) with plastic sheath, but it's just about it. Don't get me wrong, material is nice, quality of the pants is superb, but these pants (at least the ventilated model) is for hikers only, not for bushcrafters.

I haven't found that with mine. As a matter of fact, I have been carrying my Esee 4 with a kydex sheath in the knife slot with ease. I'm pretty sure the Esee 6 would fit in there as well. Grant it, I'm not stashing books in my pockets either. I've even carried a pistol in one of the pockets. IMO, these are bushcraft/tactical pants; very heavy duty at that.

@@Kaltwasser45 have you tried squating in these paths with thigh pockets filled with gear? Nothing crazy, just a military compas or heftier flashligh, heck, even a bundle of keys. I didn't find a way to do that without considerable amount of discomfort.

@Corvus Corax I'm actually working in mine right now removing fencing. I have my Esee4, wallet, cell phone, bulk keys, and I think that's it. I'm squating comfortably, but admittedly they're not completely full. I have yet to find a pair of trousers that will fill the cargo pant pockets completely full and be comfortable squating and durable at the same time. If I'm carrying this much, usually a day pack gets the excess.

Have these, bought last fall? ... However the model I got (same main colour) doesn't have the dual shades.. The Kneeguard area and butt are same colour. Disappointed., but at least i'm not like eveyr other Fjallraven-sporting dude (which is everyone outdoors these days) and unique... Hard to tell they're Fjallraven though without....

How durable is the crotch vent to prickers?

I love me some vidda pro's but they are in no way way trousers or snow trow.. I suppose when it comes to bush craft the idea is to keep out of the rain by your own means any way.. other than that I wish I could wear these trousers to work..they struggle to die

and zip pocket, how it's possible....

These pants were a disappointment! Tear on the stretchy back in the second day of use, when i snuggled! They sacrificed durability with that. The front pockets are small, you will feel everything you put there... a lot!

@@memphisreines4058 yes, but even the pockets arent the same, the closure of them are smaller on this version, so means that you need to force it to close, make them smaller.

I thought cotton was a no go in hiking wear ?

@trekitt

Жыл бұрын

100% cotton is not ideal, but it has its benefits when mixed with polyester. G-1000 is 65% polyester and 35% cotton, so dries much quicker, feels nice next to skin and is fairly weather resistant when waxed.
