Fjällräven’s Abisko Lightweight tent range
The 2011 Abisko tents focused on low weight and practical space for spring, summer and autumn trips.
Fjällräven’s Abisko Lightweight tent range, introduced in 2011, aimed to combine strength with low weight and a shape that minimized wind resistance. One-, two- and three-person versions were designed for mountain and lowland trips in spring, summer and autumn.
Abisko also became the shared name for a wider hiking range, including a backpack, pants and shorts, all emphasizing light weight, flexibility and versatility.
The Abisko Lightweight 1 was a single-pole solo tent. The two- and three-person versions were tunnel tents. All targeted three-season use, with practical features and room for equipment alongside the weight savings important on a walking trip.
The tunnel models developed the existing Akka Shape with revised dimensions and details. Their inner tents provided space for common sleeping-mat sizes, while the large vestibules held backpacks and other equipment.
Fjällräven said a triple-ripstop weaving technique increased the fabric’s strength while keeping it light. The material was also described as UV-resistant and able to retain its shape in wet and humid weather.
