This is my 3rd pair of tights from Fjällräven but first buy of the new design with the slanted pockets. Interestingly there were no zips on either sides. The design made it easier to slide in mobile phone on the left pocket. Material is stretchy & comfortable which is suitable for tropical climate although it is slightly thicker than the older model Abisko trail tights. It is also light weight & easier to pack compared to a conventional hiking pants.
