Fjallraven Womens Abisko Trekking Tights
Our most popular women’s trouser has for years been the Fjallraven Abisko Trekking Tights and it’s not hard to see why. Constructed from a highly functional stretch fabric the Trekking Tights combine the freedom of movement of tights with the durability and build quality of trekking trousers.
While the functionality of these tights is undeniable it’s the fit that makes these the real winner. With a wide drawcord adjustable waist the stretch fabric provides a freedom of movement which won’t be seen on many other Trekking Trousers. While not water resistant the knees and rear feature additional reinforcement to resist moisture when sitting on damp ground and the Trekking Tights are a close enough fit to be worn comfortably under a pair of shell trousers in the heavy rain.
