What are the Abisko Short Tights?
Similar to the on-trend cycling shorts that creep back every summer, the Abisko Short Tights are the perfect in-between for those who prefer leggings but find them too hot to wear during summer. They're extremely comfy, stylish and versatile enough to wear for virtually any activity, whether hiking, scrambling or backpacking.
What are they made of?
These shorts are made of a double-knitted stretch fabric that comprises a blend of recycled polyester and elastane to provide all the durability, stretch and comfort you need with a lesser impact on the planet.
It's lightweight yet durable enough to withstand bumps and scrapes in tougher terrain and, despite being recycled, feels lovely and smooth against the skin. This moisture-wicking material keeps sweat at bay and dries quickly if you were to get caught in a sudden shower. The elastane adds stretch to improve freedom of movement for steep ascents while making them comfy enough to wear casually, day to day, throughout the summer.
Overall, it has a lovely matte finish that looks sophisticated and much more fashionable than the shiny stuff you get with fast-fashion products. They don't stretch thin, so you won't have to worry about accidentally flashing your fellow adventurers when bending and stretching out in more technical environments - hurrah!
What are their features?
The comfortable, high waistband offers support where you need it and has a nice 'hugging' feel instead of being restrictive. It's extremely low bulk, meaning you could even wear these shorts underneath a skirt for extra coverage.
Low profile, flatlock seams take the volume away from stitching to prevent rubbing and chafing and generally improve the next-to-skin feel.
Secure leg pockets offer essential storage for small items like a mobile phone or energy gels. Each pocket is angled to make them easier to access whilst on the move and create a more flattering silhouette.
A gusset at the crotch gives vital seams some relief, so you don't need to worry about any trouser-splitting accidents in the middle of your adventure!
The inseam for these shorts measures 24cm or 9.5 inches (Size Small), giving you a good amount of coverage and a more contemporary style.
