Wind and water-resistant three-layer shell trousers for year-round use in changeable weather conditions. Made from stretchy Eco-Shell for high performance and the lowest possible environmental impact. The fabric is hardwearing at the same time as it follows body movements and ventilates out moisture that builds up inside when you are active. A perfect choice for trekking and summit touring in difficult terrain - the minimalistic design makes moving forward easier while you have complete protection from the elements. The cut is carefully thought through and pre-shaped knees and rear give maximum freedom of movement. The cut is adapted so they can be worn over a pair of trekking trousers made from G-1000, for example. Long two-way water-resistant zippers at the sides release excess heat and make putting on/taking off easy. The waist has a velcro adjustment at the side and a belt with an easy-to-handle flat buckle that sits well under a climbing harness or backpack hipbelt. Two pockets with zippers keep small items close at hand. Cordura reinforcements at the leg endings and on the inside lower legs protect against wear from boots and crampons. At the bottom there is a button and a hidden drawstring to adjust the width of the legs. Eco-Shell is a water-resistant, breathable and sustainable hardshell fabric that is treated with fluorocarbon-free impregnation. Eco-Shell is made from recyclable polyester (both recycled and new), and all emissions during production and transport are climate compensated.

Making adventure last since 1960
In the 1950’s, 14 year, old Ake Nordin from Ornskoldsvik in Northern Sweden spent more time outdoors than indoors. After many long treks in the mountains, Ake decided the backpacks at the time were unsatisfactory and took matters into his own hands by building a wooden frame. This evenly distributed weight across his back so the pack did not end up uneven, pear, shaped, and uncomfortable. It also meant he could carry more weight with ease. Ake’s innovation quickly caught on and in 1960 Fjallraven became the first to commercially make and distribute framed backpacks.
Fjallraven means Arctic Fox in Swedish, honoring the small and highly adaptable predator that lives in the Swedish mountains under the harshest conditions. From the small town of Ornskoldsvik, Fjallraven has now expanded to every corner in the world. The fundamental ideas remain the same; provide functional, durable, and timeless equipment to make the outdoors more enjoyable for all. We continue to find smart, innovative solutions to make every adventure an unforgettable one.
AN IDEA THAT CARRIED WEIGHT
Ake built his first framed backpack in his basement with his mother’s sewing machine. Using strong cotton fabric for the pack, he attached the wooden frame using leather straps and used calfskin for the support straps. Not only was the pack more comfortable and distributed weight evenly, it also increased ventilation between his back and the pack. Soon after, during a trip up North, Ake’s invention caught the attention of the indigenous Sami people who spent weeks at a time high up in the mountains. They asked Ake to build them a backpack and after that a tent. Fjallraven had found its beginning.

Rule 2: Durability A Fjallraven product is a guarantee that you will not need to buy a new product for a long, long time. Our users know that our products live up to strict requirements and last for a long time. Many products last for generations. This long lifecycle depends on many factors , for example production experience, superior choice of material, product assembly and strict quality controls during the production process.
Rule 3: Dependability When we design our products, we choose material and solutions that combined give you a safe, dependable product you will be able to use outdoors. We are aware that our equipment might be used in situations where there is not a lot of room for error, which is why all of our products are tested by experienced test groups before being sent to our retailers.
OUR RESPONSIBILITY

This makes it all the more important for us to take responsibility for every decision we make, whether we are in our home in Ornskoldsvik in northern Sweden or another corner of the world. One of the most important aspects of this is our responsibility toward everyone that works in the development and production of our equipment.
