New releases spring/summer 2016 - Fjällräven’s newcomers make carrying less a smarter and more long-lasting deal

Just in time for summer 2016, Fjällräven is releasing a number of exciting newcomers which defines the company’s view of “lightweight”. Because when Fjällräven takes on the lightweight segment, they do it in their own specific way and introduce products that are light without compromising the brand’s high standards of durability and functionality. A totally upgraded tent collection is among the newcomers, along with sustainable hardshells and a number of light garments for “multi-active” summer outdoor life. All products will be available in stores from spring 2016.

Lighter than ever – strong as usual in the brand new tent range
For over 50 years Fjällräven has been researching the perfect balance between low weight and reliability. Now, the company is introducing a new, totally reworked tent collection that is lighter than ever. Premium materials and details as well as new functional designs give tents that both stand out weight-wise and that have exceptional performance in the wilderness. The inner tents also have impregnation that is completely free from fluorocarbons. 

In total, the series includes 16 models divided into two series. The Keb series focuses on technical, demanding trekking and challenging conditions, while Abisko tents have been developed for lightweight trekking while still offering high strength. There is a wide selection with something suitable for every type of outdoor life, in all kinds of environments, ranging from compact one-man tents to four-man family tents and expedition tents.

Waterproof, breathable and sustainable – now also in a lightweight summer format
The autumn of 2015 sees the launch of Keb Eco-Shell; a series of highly functional hardshells with a focus on environmental sustainability. For summer 2016, Fjällräven is taking this one step further and also introducing Eco-Shell in their Abisko series of garments designed for light trekking in warm conditions.

Abisko Eco-Shell Jacket and Abisko Eco-Shell Trousers are available for both men and women and combine excellent weather protection with low environmental impact. They are made from 2.5-layer Eco-Shell in polyester (both recycled and virgin) with fluorocarbon-free impregnation. These are convenient and packable rain garments with simple designs that keep weight to a minimum.

Lightweight, cool trekking trousers in G-1000 Lite and stretch fabric
The Abisko series has been extended to include new lightweight trekking trousers for summer trekking and outings in warm climates. Abisko Lite Trekking Trousers combine durable G-1000 Lite with four-way stretch fabric for lightweight and durable trekking trousers with excellent ventilation. The fit is pre-shaped for great freedom of movement and zippers from the hips to the knees can be opened to release excess heat. Available in women’s and men’s models.

From couch to camp fire with the versatile High Coast series
The High Coast series is being expanded to include several lightweight, cool garments for “multi-active” summer outdoor life. The garments have been designed for versatility and to take up little space in a pack – practical when travelling when you want to combine different interests and not take an unnecessary amount of clothing with you. With High Coast you can feel well dressed without giving up practical features suitable for outdoor life.

High Coast Hybrid Jacket is a lightweight jacket in waxed polyamide/eco cotton with stretch panels. Perfect for light trekking and daytrips, with a hood that can be rolled into the collar when it is not being used. It works well together with High Coast Zip-Off Trousers, for example, in durable, well-ventilated G-1000 Lite – ready for changes in temperature with shorts and trousers in one and the same garment. Both garments are available in women’s and men’s models. When combining paddling and trekking it is extra comfortable to have pliant garments that follow movements well, such as High Coast Trail Shorts that are well-fitting shorts in light, fast-drying stretch fabric. They can be combined with High Coast Stripe T-Shirt in a functional wool/tencel blend that has a cool feel against the skin. If the sun goes behind a cloud, the High Coast Hoodie will provide that extra warmth needed. It is a lighter hooded sweater in a soft, comfortable cotton/polyester blend that dries fast. It can also be worn as a moisture-transporting base layer and is available in women’s and men’s models. 

For women there is High Coast 3/4 Sleeve Top W with an attractive boat neck. Made from a wool/tencel blend it feels cool against the skin and has excellent moisture wicking properties. High Coast Skirt is a versatile wrap-around skirt in durable G-1000 Lite for light trekking and casual outdoor life. It is well-fitting with attractively placed seams and a feminine cut, and has a small zippered pocket on the right-hand side.
