High-quality durable hiking tights made from a high-wicking, fast-drying “stretch” fabric.

Fjällräven says:

Sustainable, comfortable and attractive – what’s not to love about our Abisko Tights? Created from a moisture wicking stretch fabric in recycled polyester, they give a secure, snug feel that is further emphasised by the high waistband. We have also positioned the seams and designed the pockets for a flattering fit. Perfect for hiking and everyday outdoor life – the 7/8-length is easy to combine with socks and hiking boots.

Our Verdict

The quality and durability of these tights were the first things that stood out to me, fjallraven is known for its high quality, and these tights are no exception.

Body-mapped to be soft and comfortable but hard-wearing, specifically at the rear and knees. Most hiking tights are very comfortable but not very durable, these are made to last.

Made from a high-wicking, fast-drying “stretch” fabric, these will keep you comfortable on the trail and will dry quickly after a river crossing or sudden downpour.  The waistband is really high and wide so fits incredibly well, but is also great to use with a climbing harness or hip belt.

A large flat pocket, located on the right leg is perfect for storing a mobile phone, when not in use the pocket disappears giving you a streamlined shape, another flat pocket is located on the left leg. A discreet pocket is also located in the waistband. 

Fantastic out on the trail, but just as good in day-to-day life, these would be super comfy to travel in.
