What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I wore the Fjallraven Abisko Winter Stretch Trouser on a full day of winter hiking that mixed icy trails with some rocky scrambling and they handled the range without any hesitation. The 4-way stretch and articulated knees gave me full freedom on high steps and uneven terrain, and the brushed backing held enough warmth to keep my legs comfortable over a base layer through a cold morning without feeling overly insulated once the pace picked up. The ankle gussets pulled cleanly over my boot tops and stayed there all day without any bunching."Winter trails have a way of testing every piece of gear you bring, and the Fjallraven Abisko Winter Stretch Trouser was built to pass that test without flinching. When icy temps and rough terrain show up together, these pants hold their ground, delivering the kind of rugged, mobile performance that keeps you moving through the cold rather than retreating from it. Fjallraven constructed the Abisko Winter Stretch Trouser from a 49% recycled nylon, 43% polyester, and 8% elastane blend that stretches freely in four directions and holds up against the abrasion that comes with scrambling over rocks and debris in shoulder-season and winter conditions. The brushed backing traps a layer of warm air against the leg without adding significant bulk, leaving enough room in the regular fit to run a base layer underneath on the coldest days. Articulated knees open up mobility on technical steps and uneven ground, ankle gussets fit cleanly over boot tops without bunching or riding up, and three zippered pockets including a dedicated security pocket keep essentials locked down through active days on the trail. Made in part with recycled materials and backed by a lifetime warranty, the Abisko Winter Stretch Trouser is a long-term investment in staying out when lesser pants send you back to the car.
