Product Information

At Fjallraven no decision is taken lightly. When considering a material Fjallraven will evaluate its efficiency, functional qualities, chemical composition and the amount they’ll need before making a choice. Fjallraven use a Preferred Materials And Fibres List that grades materials in terms of their impact on the environment. And this list is constantly updated, reflecting new research and new materials.

So, as many of our customers have put it, which are the best Fjallraven trousers? Well to answer that it’s important that we first look at the history of Fjallraven. To figure out the best of Fjallraven it’s important to have an understanding of what it is that sets Fjallraven aside in the outdoor clothing market. A brief overview of Fjallraven Lite; sits between Air and Original. Lightweight, with a light wax for weather resistance, and a ripstop structure to offer more durability. Comes in Eco variations* As for the number of layers? As many as you deem fit for the conditions you’re intending to subject yourself to. It’s also worth mentioning that the regularity of the waxing process depends entirely on the regularity of the use of the garment. And to reinforce a previous point mentioned, impregnating a garment with wax does not waterproof the material, only adapts it from water resistant to water repellent. The Vidda Pro Trousers are made from Fjällraven's classic G-1000 Original material. This densely woven fabric is a blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton, making the material windproof and outstandingly hardwearing. It is also water-resistant thanks to an impregnation of Greenland Wax, which can be reapplied

As for the Greenland Wax mentioned earlier, to apply a layer one must simply rub the wax onto the material and melt it into the fibres. An iron is recommended to melt the wax, however as I don’t want to use a potentially waxy iron on my nice shirts, I would use a hair drier. That way I can see how the wax is behaving in the heat, without risking any heat damage to the Material. The Vidda Pro is made from Fjallraven's proprietary wind and water-resistant G-1000 Original Fabric, a densely woven blend of cotton and polyester.

This combination gives you the durability of polyester and the comfort of cotton, making them a pleasure to wear.
