Review: Fjallraven Vidda Pro Trousers

The Fjallraven Vidda Pro Trousers are a testament that function and fashion aren't mutually exclusive. With a tailored fit, durable fabric, and plenty of features, these pants are ready for any outing in any season. They're basically a Euro version of Carhartts, and are equally suitable as both work pants and outdoor-recreation attire.

Sporting Fjallraven's signature G-1000 cotton, the Viddas hold up to rugged endeavors no problem. The rear and knee sections are double-reinforced, so they'll endure years of hard-wearing use. The G-1000 cotton can be waxed for increased weatherproofness and durability.

With six pockets, including four with snap closures, you can keep all your odds and ends organized and accessible. The cuffs have elastic straps with three different snap-button locations, so they can be cinched around various sizes of boots. These pants also have inserts for foam knee pads, for those who plan to use them as work pants at ground level for projects such as gardening, framing, or foraging.

These pants come in a wide range of waist sizes and three different lengths, for a total of 30 different size combinations. The Fjallraven store in downtown Bozeman can even take in the waist free of charge—perfect for those of us with meatier thighs than the average European. So if you're looking for a fresh new look without compromising on rugged performance, check out the Vidda Pro Trousers.

Available at fjallraven.com, or at the Bozeman store on Main Street; $170.
