The Swedish company Fjällräven (which translates to "arctic fox") is now a legendary manufacturer of backpacks, clothing and other outdoor gear. The result of years of brand development also includes the comfortable women's Nikka Curved trousers in a minimalist Scandinavian design, which belong to the Abisko clothing line.
The manufacturer describes the Nikka Curved women's trousers as technical trekking trousers. Compared to other trousers, they have a more emphasized waist and also highlight female curves, so they are slightly wider at the hips and thighs. Additionally, the trousers fit better on a female figure and are cut so that they do not press anywhere. The waist is lower in the front and higher at the back, making it easier to use the trousers in combination with a backpack.
Fjällräven clothing is more sustainable than ever before. The Fjällräven Nikka Curved women's trousers are made from organic cotton and the polyester used is recycled, which is definitely a pleasant bonus. The manufacturer talks about "sustainability through longevity," which should be the standard for quality products regardless of the specific product.
The Fjällräven Nikka Curved women's trousers are made from advanced materials. The main one is the patented G-1000 material, which is made from (organic) cotton and (recycled) polyester. This is supplemented by a stretch blend of materials containing polyamide, polyester and elastane. Reinforced material is used on the knees, back and pockets.
The Nikka Curved trousers have a total of four pockets, including a large leg pocket with a flap and a smaller inner mesh pocket on the right leg. There is also a smaller leg pocket for a phone or handheld GPS device.
From the past, we know that some clothing and equipment can even harm health due to their chemical treatments. This is not a concern with the Fjällräven Nikka Curved trousers, as they do not contain PFAS, which are perfluorinated and polyfluorinated substances widely used in the second half of the 20th century.
