Abisko Trail Trousers - New trousers for fall winter 2014

For the fall winter 2014 season Fjällräven is launching a lightweight and well-ventilated pair of trousers called Abisko Trail Trousers, designed for intense activities such as cross-country skiing or fast-paced trekking in the mountains. Made from G-1000 Eco that stops cold winds and stretch fabric that provides mobility and ventilates out sweat.

Abisko Trail Trousers are a cross between cross-country skiing tights and outdoor pants; light, pliant and well ventilated with great freedom of movement. They combine G-1000 Eco (65 % recycled polyester and 35 % organic cotton) for wind resistance and protection against damp ground, with stretch fabric for mobility and breathability.

Extra attention has been placed on minimising the risk of chafing at the waist and hips – areas that are exposed to high friction due to fast-paced repetitive movements, especially if a backpack with a hip belt is used. For this reason the trousers have a waist inspired by a pair of surf shorts, with a drawstring at the front and elasticated sides for the perfect fit. The trousers also have two leg pockets for maps, ski wax or cold hands. Zippers along the thighs can be opened up for ventilation.
