Fjallraven Abisko Trail Fleece

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The Abisko Trail Fleece is a solid jacket that does a great job of managing your temperatures. An ideal layering peice with a soft comfortable feel but excellent performance when its needed. 

Fjällräven says:

Light, convenient hooded sweater that combines two different fleece fabrics to warm where it is needed most and keep weight and packing volume down. The hood, shoulders and chest are made from flat-knitted polyester fleece (partially recycled) with a soft brushed inside, while the sides, lower torso and lower sleeves are in a lighter grid-structured fleece with superior ventilation. Perfect as a fast-drying and moisture-wicking mid layer on day trips or chilly summer evenings. Comfortable hood and one-way zipper in front opening. One chest pocket and two hand pockets, all with zippers.

Our Verdict

Clothing in the Abisko family is designed for lightweight trekking. The garments are characterised by low weight, fast drying and good ventilation – perfect for when you want to move around easily, either in the summer mountains or in warmer climates.

Fjallraven’s Trail Fleece brings some warmth to the Abisko family with a lightweight, packable but technical fleece jacket. Made from synthetic fabrics designed to provide breathability, good moisture wicking capabilities and be quick drying this fleece certainly delivers. These qualities are ideal for warmer conditions and a range of activities where temperatures can rise quickly. The fleece uses a zoned grid structure to balance warmth and air flow for regulating temperature. 

Feature wise there’s two hand warmer pockets and one chest pocket, all with zipper closures for securing the essentials. The hood, cuffs and hem are all elasticated for a snug fit and the front zipper has a protective flap against the chin for extra comfort.
