With their technical fabrics and skin-tight fits, trekking T-shirts often don't look quite right for casual wear. Which is why we're big fans of this Abisko Lite short-sleeved tee from Fjällräven. The fit is a lot more like a standard T-shirt, and the mesh-style fabric drapes nicely for a more casual look. And yet it's also a fantastic technical tee for outdoor activities, with a wicking and fast-drying recycled polyester fabric that'll keep you cool and fresh in hot weather. The seams are low-profile to prevent rubbing, and they've also shifted the shoulder seams back a bit so your backpack straps don't press on them. Good-looking and practical – what's not to like?

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.Avoid bulky clothes
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.
