Glad to hear it kept you dry. The G-1000 with a layer of Greenland Wax from the factory and all that synthetic insulation will do a good job of keeping the worst of the wet out, but eventually, it will get through, fortunately, that will take a good while.
Hey, I'm from Portugal so I don't have any physical store where I can try on Fjällräven apparell, however I really want to buy a jacket since I've read around that they last forever with good care. I'm planning on buying the Vardag Lite Padded Jacket but I've noticed that sizings are all over the place when reading reviews online. My question is: I am 194cm tall (6'4), I weight 115kg (250lb) and my chest is around 112-113cm (44in), what size would you recommend? Thanks in advance!
Hey, thanks for reaching out all the way from Portugal. Not being able to try it on does make it a little trickier, particularly where Fjallraven is concerned. Sounds like you're a little taller than Ben so will probably also find it a little shorter in the arms and body. If you were to follow Fjallraven's size guide it would put you in the XL, however with the Vardag we would stick to a size Large unless you're after a particularly boxy fit as Ben is in a Medium in this video he can just about get away with it, so the extra size in the Large should be enough to fit you comfortably. Hopefully this helps.
Very useful review. I got all info I needed. Thank you very much!
I used the jacket in heavy rain and stayed dry, maybe there's a polyamid layer underneath the G1000?

I’ve just bought it on sale. It’s great so far 210 euros in France. Great review .
210 € sale? 😮
Added to my wishlist 👊
Hi there, great Video! Is it warm enough for winterdays in the alps?
thanks!
This'll depend how high you are, which activity you're doing and what you're wearing underneath I'm afraid.

Hey@@trekitt thanks for the prompt response! I will probably go for the Large then as I want it to fit a bit more close to the body. Thanks again!
I really wanted to like this jacket, but it was fast too wide. Boxy didn't begin to describe the fit, even though it's quite stunning looking.
It's definitely a generous fit, I'll give you that!
@@trekitt It is quite crazy that a 6'3 guy like him is wearing m. Impossible to wear this as a normal sized Asian...
@@wangkai6765 Yeah, generally Ben (and myself) are either a large or extra large in most things, but this is just an exception.
I like your trousers as well. What is the brand/type? Thanks in advance
They're the Fjallraven Greenland Jeans: www.trekitt.co.uk/clothing/trousers-shorts/fjallraven-mens-greenland-jeans-dark-navy__41213
I'm Fjallrav....in !
Why it's so short
It isn't that short, Ben is just tall
Nice jacket 👌
Mince pies! 😁🎄
Wrong video!
great shout re: the moustache
is it still cool in 10 years?
Let us know in a decade.
@@trekitt stop wasting my time
Like the jacket but the shade of green is an acquired taste
True. I really like it.
