Why We Like The Bergtagen Eco-Shell Trouser
We trust the Fjallraven Bergtagen Eco-Shell Trousers when we ascend 9,000 vertical feet to the glacier-capped peak of Mount Rainier. The recycled polyester face fabric allows water to bead off the surface so the hydrophilic membrane can stay dry and breathable. The backer is also moisture-wicking to increase breathability. When we hit snow and it's time to fully suit up, the full-length zippers allow us to dress while keeping our boots on. The adjustable waist and relaxed fit work with various layers to maintain a mobile fit.
