What are the Abisko Trekking Tights?
If trousers just aren't your thing and shorts are too, well... short, then the Abisko Trekking Tights may be for you. The Trekking tights are ideal for faster paced activities such as winter trail running, trekking in the mountains or biking, yet they're just as comfortable when it comes to relaxed activities such as resting in a hut after a long day out or casual walks in cold, dry conditions.
What are they made from?
Fjallraven, as expected, have beefed up the standard tight and made it in a way only they know how. Featuring a mix of Polyamide, Elastane and Polyester, the Trekking tights are far more durable and protective than your average pair of tights, plus the Abisko Trekking Tights include your standard belt loops and hand pockets that you'd find on trousers. This fabric is also immesely breathable and will wick away moisture better than a trouser due to the next to skin fit. The fabric on the knees and rear has been reinforced to allow you to comfortably kneel down without worrying about scrapes and rips occuring.
What are the features?
Two zipped pockets give your hands a cosy and warm place in the cold, while a map pocket and small zipped pocket provide extra storage options. Lastly, flatlock seams increase the comfort and durability even further.
Summary
If you can't get along with the look (or feel) of outdoor trousers, yet require more than a standard polyester legging from the high street, the Abisko Trekking Tights sit perfectly in the middle. They're tough enough for the rigours of mountainous environments, yet comfortable enough to allow you to forget that you're wearing technical legwear.
