Abisko Short - Men's

I’m impressed!

I’ve had a lot of shorts over the years ( will turn 64 later this year) these shorts are by far the most comfortable and well made pair I’ve worn. Good fit, I usually wear a 34 (U.S. size)  and bought the 50 (Eur size). I use them for everyday wear and find the pockets well thought out and placed. My first pair of shorts that don’t have rear pockets which I was concerned about as I have always carried my phone in my right rear pocket. However not an issue as it fits perfectly in the small mesh pocket in the right leg pocket. It’s an iPhone 13 with a wallet on the back and was a bit snug in the left leg pocket. Both hand pockets are deep easy to access and the zippers work perfectly. The material had good stretch and seems very durable, I expect to have these shorts for many years and can see myself buying a second pair in another colour. I

Great material and features dry very wuickly

Brilliant bit of kit does exactly what it says on the tin

The BEST!!

The BEST!  My go-to pants~~near all year round (SoCal and now Hi) I own 7 pairs in three colors. Repaired kindly by your shops. In fact, a Khaki pair now coming back from your repair shop after waist button came off.

Great great shorts

simply superb; so well made. I am about to order another pair. The attention to detail is on point!

Next Level

Great needlework, highest quality, light enough to wear in Southern Nevada but not so light as to feel insubstantial. Love the new color. Will buy another pair in second color.

Saved my leg from a nasty burn

I bought these based on a friend's recommendation. After week one, I had a small fire in the back of my truck...long story, but in the process of putting it out, a lot of the melting plastic from my tent and sleeping pads hit my right leg. Melting and sticking to my shorts. It did not go through and wonderfully enough after many washes, there is only a small hole and a stain from the event. My lower uncovered bare leg didn't fare as well, but they certainly helped me get the fire out and save my truck. These short are tough! I will be buying a second pair for sure.

one of the best

I have owned four pairs now, and I love these shorts.

I have purchased four pairs over as many years, one was nearly identical called Abisko Lite Trekking Shorts but I see no difference, the current "Lite" model does look different. Anyhow these are simply great from nearly every perspective. Light, but reinforced where you'd want them to be. Stretchy and slim, not baggy and sloppy and yet you never feel constrained by them especially if you have big thighs. I'm very glad there's no back pockets but instead a reinforced seat, my area if NE has much sharp granite you end up sitting on these do well. There's two well thought out low-profile cargo pockets that look sharp and are actually useful. Glad there's a mesh pouch for a phone in one. And low profile zippers for the properly deep hand pockets to keep items from falling out. What would I add? two small plastic snaps on the bottom cuffs so you could roll them up once and get a little more above the knee thigh cooling. I've noticed I do this when I am really working and even without any kind of snap the stretchy material generally keeps the "cuff" and lets me have a shorter short. Also side vent zips please!. Then these would be absolutely perfect. Anyhow, pair five is being picked up soon.

These are great well made shorts. The Abisko fabric is designed to be lightweight and breath well which these accomplish. They are rugged enough for just about anything but light enough to be worn on a hot summer day without feeling bulky. Overall very impressed. The only issue may be a lack of a back pocket but the two side pockets are more than large enough to accommodate a phone or wallet.

Pockets!

I love my Abisko shorts! They have great set of pockets, feature G-1000 which is super durable and water resistant and have some excellent stretch panels. These shorts are comfortable and very durable.
