What are the Greenland Trail Trousers?
The Greenland Trail Trousers are a staple for any outdoor enthusiast's wardrobe. They're durable, functional and comfy enough to wear day-in-day-out, whether on the trails, in the mountains or hitting your local pub with a few mates at the weekend.
What are they made of?
Fjallraven is well known in the industry for its cornerstone G1000® material. These trousers are made of the 'Eco' version, which is aptly named G1000® Eco. G1000® Eco (how many times can you say G1000® in one paragraph?) comprises 65% recycled polyester and 35% organic cotton to create a light, hardwearing material that has a lesser impact on the environment than its conventional counterparts.
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?
These trousers have a regular fit and sit mid-waist to give you a comfortable amount of coverage. Pre-shaped knees optimise flexibility and fit around the joints, whilst slightly tapered legs remove any excessive bulk and dead space to reduce the risk of your trousers catching and snagging on jagged rocks and rough terrain.
Two hand pockets are great for smaller essentials like trail snacks and energy gels, whilst the allocated knife pocket keeps your multitools and camping knives safe, secure, and out of the way - ideal for multi-day adventures and bushcraft.
Reinforcements at the rear and on the knees increase durability where needed most and improve weather resistance for sitting or kneeling on damp surfaces.
There are subtle openings at the knees, allowing you to slip in some knee pads depending on personal preference and activity. Last but not least, there are low-bulk adjustments at the end of each leg to accommodate different types of footwear and help keep the weather out.
