MOTIVATION FROM THE JURY

There are many tights out there designed for running or climbing, yet the Abisko Trekking Tights are specifically made for backpacking. The thicker stretch fabric is ideal for cooler mountain environments, the rear and knees are reinforced with an extra durable and water resistant material. »I have worn a lot of tights but these are the first I can sit or kneel down without worrying about destroying them«, says one jury member. Also the details are just right.

PRIMARY INNOVATION FEATURES

Technical and hardwearing trekking tights that combine features from Fjällräven’s popular trekking trousers with the unparalleled freedom of movement of tights. Reinforced over the knees and rear to handle close encounters with rough terrain, and to help keepmoisture at bay when sitting or kneeling down. Good storage possibilities with leg pockets that take care of a map and compass when heading into the wilderness.

INTENDED SPECIFIC END USE

Made for both faster and more relaxed treks, in mountain terrain as well as in other settings where mobility and durability are desired.

SPECIFIC FEATURES
