Vidda Pro Trousers
Durable �½-�½�½�½�½® trekking
trousers with a mid waist and
regular fit. Reinforced rear and
knees and six practical pockets.
Wax your
G-1000 garment
Our �½-�½�½�½�½ fabric can be
adapted with
Greenland
Wax
to suit different
weather conditions and ac-
tivities. Adding more wax in-
creases the fabric’s water and wind re-
sistance as well as the durability and
lifetime of the garment.
In warmer conditions, the wax can
be easily washed out for cooler, more
breathable clothing.
Apply
Greenland Wax
onto the garment –
focusing on the seams,
shoulders and other
exposed areas.
Using an iron, hairdryer
or camp stove, heat the
garment until the wax is
absorbed. To remove it,
wash the garment at �½�½º�½.
Follow the QR code to find
out more about waxing your
�½-�½�½�½�½ clothing.
GREAT FIT
IS NOT ENOUGH
At
Fjällräven
we are committed to
designing outdoor trousers that offer
outstanding fit and comfort. With
multiple styles and cuts to choose from,
there’s a pair perfect for every outdoor
enthusiast. That said, a great fit is just
the beginning of the story and every
pair of trousers we produce has also
been rigorously tested to ensure that as
well as looking and feeling great, they
also deliver unwavering performance
and durability.
Only by walking, hiking, crawling,
camping and even sleeping in our trou-
sers for ourselves, can we be sure that
they meet the high-standards expected
from every pair of
Fjällräven
trousers.
