What are the Abisko Hybrid Trail Shorts?
They're highly versatile, comfortable trekking shorts with an excellent range of movement for various outdoor activities in warm climates. Whether hiking in the Lake District, trekking in the Alps or exploring local woodlands, the Abisko Hybrid Trail Shorts are an excellent choice.
What are they made from?
The Abisko Hybrid Trail Shorts are built from a combination of Fjallraven's own G1000 Lite Stretch and a technical stretch fabric, to create a highly comfortable pair of shorts that balance freedom of movement, bulk, and protection from the elements.
The front of the shorts are constructed from Fjallraven's own G1000 Lite Stretch, which comprises recycled polyester, virgin polyester and cotton. G1000 Lite Stretch offers exceptional flexibility whilst still being durable enough to deal with rough outdoor terrain. Like Fjallraven's other G1000® materials, the G1000® Lite Stretch front panels can be adapted to suit different personal preferences or climatic conditions using Greenland Wax, which allows you to customise the fabric's properties, such as wind and water resistance and breathability.
Greenland Wax is easy to apply - you can literally do it anywhere! If you'd like to learn more about how to apply it correctly, check out our short YouTube tutorial by clicking here.
The back of the shorts uses a soft, technical stretch fabric, which compromises recycled polyamide and elastane for an excellent range of movement and flex. The recycled polyamide yarns help transport away moisture and dry quickly, which is handy if you get caught in a light rain shower, whilst the elastane gives the fabric a robust stretch for improved comfort and freedom of movement.
What are their features?
The shorts feature a soft, part-elasticated waistband for comfort when bending down or stretching. The waistband features a simple zippered fly and button closure and belt loops, so you can easily add a belt should you need to customize the fit around the waist.
For storage, you'll find two open hand pockets and two buttoned leg pockets, one of which is zipped for extra security. They provide ample space for stowing essentials such as a mobile phone, GPS device, trail snacks and small tools.
To give you a rough idea of measurements, the inseam of these shorts is 19 cm / 7.5 inches in length, which provides plenty of coverage for most outdoor activities.
