For the most accurate result, you should be measured wearing only your undergarments or close-fitting clothing, for example, a base layer. It’s not a good idea to measure yourself wearing jeans, sweaters or other bulky clothing. The central zipper is two-way which is always practical, it is also “doubled” by a flap with press studs ensuring a good seal. All zippers are YKK brand and have a tab for easy handling.

Ask a friend to take your measurements while standing in a straight and relaxed position without shoes. Remember that the tape measure should not be pulled too tight around the body but not be too loose either.Insulation: Fjallraven use a high quality, fully traceable Swedish wool to insulate the Vidda Pro. Wool maintains its warmth for decades and provides warmth when wet or dry, making it a brilliant choice for anyone who is more concerned with durability and reliability rather than weight. 150g/m2 is used in the body and 90g/m2 is used in the sleeves for greater mobility. The hood is effective but I have noticed several times that it does not ideally cover the face. I wear a bun that shifts it may be a little behind but I think a small ledge projecting more forward would have been welcome.

The sleeves are wide enough to be worn over a pair of gloves. They are closed by a press button with two positions.
