your vids are nicely shot and i love the sense of humor you've inserted through out the videos. Would love to see vids about living in Alaska. Take care out there!
I've seen a lot of reviews about Fjallraven coats and people complaing about the zipper. Well done showing it to everyone and saying what you said.
I have been wondering about this jacket or the Skogso. I appreciate the input!
Top quality review, as always.
Thank you!
Great review! Thanks a bunch :)
Very good review thanks
Thank you so much! Have a beautiful day❤
Hey! Love your reviews. I'm curious how a jacket like this would fare in winter conditions as low as -25C (-13F)?? Im sure it gets that cold up there in Alaska. ave you tried it out in those temps?
Yes, we've tried it out for 1.5 winters and can tell you that is definitely depends on what you're up to. If you're doing a lot of moving, it will keep you warm but be sure to have a baselayer + fleece underneath. It's a tough garment so it's great for activity where you know you're going to be rubbing up against rock, tree, ice, etc. If you're more stationary, you'll get cold below around 10°F. Hope that helps!
Awesome review! I've watched all your fjallraven reviews and they're spot on. I just bought the fjallraven greenland no. 1 down parka and love the style. I was wondering which fjallraven fleece you were wearing as a mid layer (trying to find a good mid layer that will help make the jacket on warmer days)? Or any recommendations for mid layering with this jacket.
Awesome, hope you will love that parka! The midlayer I have on in this video is the Keb Fleece Hoodie. It seemed to layer nicely underneath the jacket, but I wouldn’t want to go much thicker. If you got your regular size in the parka and didn’t size up, I wouldn’t recommend much more than a light to mid-weight fleece for layering underneath. At least for me, the jacket is pretty fitted and doesn’t leave a ton of room. But take into consideration that it may fit you different than it fits me. You could also look at a vest, which would add some core warmth without making your arms feel bulky, which can help a lot. Patagonia Nano Puff or Micro Puff vest, Arcteryx Covert Vest, and Fjallraven Keb Fleece Vest are a few that come to mind. Thanks for the feedback and glad you’re enjoying the videos! 😊
Hi @atadziu, talking about the the fjallraven greenland no. 1 down parka, how much is the coldest you have worn and how is it? I'm looking to get this one but wondering about temperature rating...thx
North face extreme hi pile fleece for the layer win
Leather on the zipper was very helpful with mittens. Easier to grab. Hood has down and that down is noisy. You can't hear if someone is behind you when you are walking with hood on.
Wonderful review. Feedback: one thing I'm curious about is arm reach. With my current jackets I notice that warm jackets don't always have the best arm mobility. This would be a lovely feature for reviews. For instance: can you comfortably chop wood with it?
Yes, it moves very nicely. It's a natural fit and good for active work in cold weather.
@@BeaverSportsAK Thanks for getting back to me! :-)
Thanks for the review, it really is a gorgeous jacket! Would you say that it comes in enough of a water resistive state where it will be fine for regular/slightly harder rains or is applying extra wax recommended?
Yes, this is one of our favorite pieces. The jacket comes waxed from Fjallraven, but we recommend applying extra wax on the shoulders, hood, upper back, sleeves, and other areas you anticipate taking the brunt of the rain. Be especially generous with your application on the seams in those areas. We haven't made a waxing tutorial yet, but it's on the list! Would you watch a waxing tutorial if we made one? (and plz be honest😊)
@@BeaverSportsAK Yeah definitely! A comparison of water resistance before/after in the video would be great, too!
I own this masterpiece ... wonderful !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great review guys. How does the warmth of this jacket compare with the warmth of the Nuuk or Yupik parka?
Hi Ben! Thanks for the quesh. This jacket has 800 fill power down and will keep you very warm, even when it's windy. The two parkas you mentioned do not have any down insulation, but the Nuuk does extend below your waist and it does have synthetic insulation, but it's not as much as the Greenland and will not be as warm.
I keep coming back to this review every now and then and I keep being 'baffled' at how good this is. Thanks for all the creativity and fun
Thanks so much Bart! You made our day. 🥰
@@BeaverSportsAK haha awesome. Take care!!
Just bought this. It's amazing. Only downside for me is that I'm between a XS and S in this jacket. I have the Skogso and it fits absolutely perfect in a XS. The Greenland #1 however is a shorter jacket in general, and tighter around the hem, but the XS is just a bit too short on me. The Small is too roomy in shoulders and chest though. So I had a desicion to make, and went with the XS. I figure I'll use it as more of an everyday fashion piece or something since I have the Skogso which allows me to layer, and because the autumn leaf/night sky combo is really unique. The Greenland I can can comfortably fit a t-shirt and sweatshirt, the Skogso I can layer more, so I should be all good. Thanks.
thinking about getting it. Whats your height and weight if you don't mind me asking?
I want to adhere to the previous comment, you mind sharing height and complexity? I keep reading about FjallRaven products being for much taller people so I'm hesitant to buy anything.
Thanks for this review, it's the best I've found. Subscribed right away!
But I have a question about sizing: I'm 173cm for 78kg (EU size 48 for pants), 115cm for shoulder circumference, L-size for trousers. Should I go for a S size or a M one? 'Cause I don't want something too loose, and I have no fjallraven resellers in my area to try it on. What would you recommend?
In this case, the medium is probably the best bet. For reference, Alex is around 68 kg and 170cm tall and the S is a pretty fitted fit. If you want a real snug fit, the S could work but layering would be tough and you might experience some discomfort. Medium would be a safer bet and you would be able to layer under it, which is important to most people buying a winter jacket!
@Fragolo9
I'm the same hight and weight and medium is always the best choice for me when it comes to Fjällräven jackets.😉
Is there any sort of lining in the hand pockets? Are the hand pockets inside the insulation or outside?
Excellent video! How is the down holding up over the years? I didnt like the hood with one of my padded Fjallravens because it constantly made scratch sounds rubbing against my beard when moving my head. Same problem with this one?
How long is your beard? I am picturing it being very long...
@@BeaverSportsAK it's more a 7-21 day beard... Probably the longer the less noise issues
Do you feel that this jacket is durable? Will it take on a Michigan winter? Great video
It's super durable. It gets me through Alaskan winters, so it should keep you decently warm in the UP.
I have it. It is durable (and repairable) enough to hand down to the next generation. Only the down may compress a bit after a few years, but it will still be a very comfortable jacket.
I see that in some videos the zipper has a leather tab to make it easier to grip with gloves. The jacket you're wearing, doesn't have it. Do you know if it was a detail that is no longer mounted? Thanks
Can confirm that it has a metal pull tab. Just got my jacket. Gives it a more premium look and shows up nice just like the buttons.
is it for winter? can it be worn in autumn, spring, or is it too warm?...living in uk...
It will serve you well in the shoulder seasons as a single layer
My husband has been looking at the parka version, we are looking online and someone in the reviews suggested to go down a size with Fjallraven winter jackets. My husband is 5'7", weighs 133lbs., 36" chest, 29.5" waist and he wears a small in the Fjallraven Ovik zip fleece sweater. Would you suggest small or extra small, he likes slim fitting but still enough room for some layers?
No go normal size
I'm from Sweden (where fjällräven is located) and I've bought many jackets from this brand. A large size fjällräven large jacket are equiv to Xl in the market..medium > a large etc..
@@shaykhriyadh No wonder you live in such countries.
Love Fjallraven down jackets, but the synthetic liner on the inside picks up BO stink like old polyester shirts.
o am !!!!!!!!!!
culoarea asta? arata asa rosie in realitate?
@@ionutcalacian00 nu, este un caramiziu
If I’m 5’9 170 with kinda broad shoulders what size should I get?
Good question. I'm leaning towards a medium but can you give me one more measurement for your waist circumference around your naval?
@@BeaverSportsAK got my jacket, decided medium. It fits pretty well but is definitely a slimmer fit than I expected
I'm 6'0"-6'1"ish, 185, with a long torso. I am guessing I should go with the large then?
@@sunyata150 definitely
@@bobbarker142 How many layers can you wear underneath? I'm 5'10, 158 and trying to decide between medium and large. I like to wear a shirt and hoodie underneath my winter jackets.
Sexy Jacket, not very warm. The feathers are sometimes getting out on the inner side of the jacket. E-Biking 25 kmh in Minus 2 Celsius is the Limit and it gets cold if wearing just a Shirt and T-Shirt under it. The edges of the leather Finish on the arms jam and scrub on the flanks of the jacket . Dont size down. Still great jacket
Good feedback, thanks! When you e-bike, are you relying on the motor most of the time? If there is no pedaling to generate heat, I could see getting cold going at those speeds. Do you find the jacket to be warm enough at those temperatures if you are not biking so there is no wind?
@@BeaverSportsAK I have a pedelec ktm City bike so I have to pedal as well, the bosh Motor is suporting me about 65%-75%, it is not doing the whole job. So the jacket is perfect, it is not to warm and not to cold. Wind is never a problem.
@@lukasking2573 Got it, that's great! Definitely agree with you on the "don't size down" comment. Glad you are enjoying the jacket 😊
Feathers leak from down jackets no matter the brand.
@@waksibra True!
As worn by Casey Affleck in the movie Light of My Life.
Oh yeah! There's some other shows I think I've seen Fjallraven gear make an appearance in too, but most of the time the branding has been removed so I can never tell for sure! Good catch.
A good review but, kind of ruined by the colour grade. I don’t know why you guys consistently use this ridiculously over saturated teal and orange look. Don’t get me wrong, having a creative spin on your content is one thing, but when you’re talking about products, especially when you are talking about colours, you’re videos don’t display colours anywhere near what their true colours are. This looks red, but in real life its called autumn leaf which is an earthy orange,
Hi Ryan! Thank you so much for the feedback. In future videos, we will get the color corrected.
Hey guy some people might like it. Like me
Jesús f Christ. This guy. 👎👎
Can you elaborate?
@@BeaverSportsAK you do a disservice to this jacket.
@@memphisreines4058 how so? I'm interested in purchasing this jacket, so how is he doing it a disservice? Thank you
