What are the Abisko Hike Shorts?
The Abisko Hike Shorts are the perfect shorts for hiking, backpacking and travelling in hot climates, alongside everyday, casual errands during the summer. They're comfy, lightweight and highly packable, meaning they'll easily fit into a backpack or kit bag without taking up too much room.
What are they made of?
These shorts are constructed using G1000® Air Stretch, which comprises recycled polyester and organic cotton.
This material has an incredibly smooth finish that is pleasant against the skin, whilst being light and airy to help regulate temperature. The fabric's mechanical stretch improves freedom of movement for navigating tricky terrain and steep ascents and enhances comfort for everyday wear.
G1000® materials can be adapted to different personal preferences or climatic conditions using Greenland Wax. The wax allows you to customise the fabric's properties, such as wind and water resistance and breathability.
Greenland Wax is easy to apply - you can literally do it anywhere! If you'd like to learn more about how to apply it correctly, check out our short YouTube tutorial by clicking here.
What are their features?
The Abisko Hike Shorts have an integrated belt that is low bulk and won't get in your way when taking high steps or scrambling. Obviously, it allows you to adjust the fit around the waist and feels flexible when worn - it also saves you spending extra pennies on a separate belt!
Two zippered hand pockets are great for trail snacks and energy gels, whilst the zippered pocket on the right thigh works better for chunky GPS devices, a wallet or a mobile phone that might restrict movement if placed in the higher pockets.
To give you a rough idea of measurements, the inseam of these shorts (Size 48) is 28cm/11 inches.
