What is the Abisko Trail Fleece?
Whether hiking, camping or taking the morning work commute, the Abisko Trail is a versatile, lightweight, packable fleece that works just as well as a midlayer as an everyday zip-up hoodie. Its partially recycled construction features warm, soft materials and a minimal design with classic Fjallraven detailing that you can wear with anything from jeans to technical pants.
What is it made of?
This fleece comprises quick-drying polyester, which is partially recycled to help minimise the environmental impact without compromising performance.
The material comes in two different forms.
Flat knitted fleece is used on the hood, shoulders and chest, where more durability is needed, especially when wearing a backpack. This fleece is also a little thicker to add extra warmth and protection to areas that are more likely to be exposed to the cold.
A grid-structured fleece on the lower sleeves, sides, and torso helps to reduce weight and bulk, increasing packability for travelling and multi-day adventures and making it easier to stuff into a backpack or kit bag. This grid structure also improves breathability and temperature regulation, as the lighter sections allow airflow and wick away moisture more effectively, whilst the thicker parts keep you warm.
What are its features?
A snug-fitting hood helps to keep you toasty and sits close to the head, minimising volume and bulk and making it easier to pull another hood over when wearing a jacket on top.
For storage, there's one chest pocket and two hand pockets, all fastened with zips, to keep small belongings like a mobile phone, keys and trail snacks safely tucked away.
This fleece comes with a regular fit to ensure plenty of freedom of movement and space underneath for a baselayer or t-shirt. Overall, the low bulk design is easy to fit underneath a down jacket or shell jacket for colder months and poorer conditions.
