Warm-weather trekking shorts in tough stretch fabric
Fjällräven's trademark G-1000 polycotton is incredibly tough and weatherproof, but it can be a bit heavy for high summer. Cooked up with warmer conditions in mind, these Abisko Hybrid Trail Shorts use a more breathable and flexible G-1000 Lite Stretch material on the front, with an even lighter technical stretch fabric in the seat. Comfortable for long, sweaty days on the trail, they hit that sweet spot between ventilation and durability – and you can always beef up the weatherproofing on the front panels with an application of Fjällräven's Greenland wax.
- Comfortable, technical trekking shorts with a laminated elastic waistband

All you need is a tape measure!
Avoid bulky clothes
For the most accurate result, you should be measured wearing only your undergarments or close-fitting clothing, for example, a base layer. It’s not a good idea to measure yourself wearing jeans, sweaters or other bulky clothing.
- Head - Measure the head around the biggest part and above your eyebrows.
- Arm Length - Bend the elbow slightly, then measure from the center back of the neck, over the shoulder to the elbow, and down to the wrist.
- Chest - Measure straight under your arms around your body at the fullest part of your chest.
- Waist - Measure around your waist at the narrowest part.
- Seat - Standing with your feet hip-width apart, measure around your hips at the widest part.
- Inner Leg Length - Standing in a straight position, measure from your crotch down the inside leg to the floor.
- Recycled Materials - made from recycled polyester and recycled polyamide, with PFAS-Free coating
- Organic Cotton - made from 35% organic cotton
- Sustainability through longevity: 2 year warranty with Fjällräven
When it comes to iconic Swedish exports, Fjällräven is right up there with IKEA and Volvo.* ‘The Arctic Fox’ has been in the outdoor gear game since the 60s, but the story really dates back to 1950, when founder Åke Nordin – then 14 years old – took his mum’s treadle sewing machine down to the cellar and cobbled together his first rucksack.
Some of Fjällräven’s products are instantly recognisable, including the Kånken backpack – originally designed for Swedish schoolkids in the 1970s – and their famous Greenland jacket, first released in 1968. But they also have a knack for combining vintage looks with modern materials and refinements. Products in their Vardag line, for example, were inspired by a deep dive into the brand’s old catalogues – and feature the brand’s 70s logo instead of the modern one.
Quintessentially Scandi, Fjällräven kit is built tough and dependable for people who live, work and play in the outdoors, day-in, day-out. You’re as likely to see their popular Keb trousers on gamekeepers and foresters as you are on hikers and bushcrafters.
But this is a brand that does more than just gear. Åke Nordin was all about the shared experience of the outdoors, and since 2005, thousands of people every year have taken part in their Fjällräven Classic treks – which now operate in seven different countries from Sweden to Korea, including the UK.
