While temperatures are dropping as fall approaches, it’s still warm enough in most places to wear warm-weather gear while hiking. Luckily, REI is in the midst of clearing out past-season (but still awesome) styles from brands like Patagonia, Danner, and even Arc’teryx, which means now is the best time to find great deals on outdoor gear. Fjallraven apparel is rarely on sale, but right now, one of the brand’s incredible hiking shorts is half off and comes in four colors.

The Fjallraven Abisko Trail Stretch Shorts are now on sale at REI for $62, a 50% discount from their regular price of $125. These popular shorts are revered among die-hard fans of the brand, with some saying in their reviews that they’re the “most comfortable” shorts they’ve ever worn. There are four colors on sale, all in nice, muted tones, and many are available in waist sizes 31 to 41 (or 46 to 58 EU). Be sure to check sizing, as this brand tends to run small.

Fjallraven is well-known among serious outdoor enthusiasts for producing high-quality, durable outdoor gear, especially their highly acclaimed clothing. And while these Abisko shorts aren’t as tough as some of the brand’s jackets, they live up to the same Fjallraven standard of being lightweight, packable, and water-resistant with a double-woven stretch fabric made from recycled nylon. The waistband is also elasticated, so you’ll have plenty of flexibility when it comes to your outdoor pursuits, and the zippered pockets feature mesh inserts for drainage in wet conditions and breathability in warmer climates. They also feature a generous 8” inseam for the perfect amount of leg coverage.

Satisfied shoppers are the ones most pleased with the design of this style. “I like my hiking shorts the way they are,” one shopper said. “Minimal pockets, no unnecessary flaps or pulls, tight leg openings and can be worn without a belt.” Another commented, “I wanted functional shorts that were also simple in design and these Fjallraven shorts fit the bill.”

REI has been on the rise lately with big discounts on a bunch of outdoor gear, and these shorts are one of the best under-the-radar deals you can find from the high-quality and often pricey brand Fjallraven. We often see Fjallraven's discounted gear sell out or go back up in price within a few days, so don't wait to pick up a pair of these shorts for yourself.
