Unacceptable Quality For An Expensive Jacket

My husband bought this jacket in December 2023 and has barely even worn it. He specifically saved it for "special occasions" because it was such an expensive investment, and it hasn't even been washed a single time. I am honestly shocked that the fabric is already failing. There are major yellow patches and discoloration all over the shoulders and arms. You spend this kind of money expecting a product to last for years, but this looks terrible after hardly any use. It’s a total letdown—this is supposed to be high-end gear, but the quality is just not there. I am beyond disappointed that the brand won't stand behind their product when it clearly has a defect. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone.

Overpriced

Overpriced for what you get. Not overly warm and lacks features.

Great Fit And Nice Colors

So far the weather has not been cold enough to evaluate the warmth, the jacket looks fantastic and I really like the green and yellow combination. Zipper works great and the fit is nice.

Great Jacket For The London Winter

This jacket has quickly become my daily jacket for a London winter. Mild rain protection so you’d want a waterproof layer, but for wind and cold protection it’s warm and the double down layer means there are no cold spots. Highly recommended.

Highly Recommended For A Pack Down Jacket

This pack-down hoodie meets all the requirements. Firstly, the craftsmanship is impeccable. I am 5’6” athletic-built and wear a large size, and I can confirm that it is true to size. I appreciate its packability and versatility, as it can be worn with a base layer or a shell on top, enabling it to withstand temperatures as low as the single digits. I ordered the flame orange/uni blue color, which is visually appealing and would be a worthwhile purchase before it sells out. Upon receiving the hoodie, I applied Nikwax Down Wash and Down Proof to achieve a DWR finish. I have attached pictures for your reference.

Soft Puffy For Cool Temps

This puffy is best used for around 0 C to 5 C in dry weather, in sub zero temps it may not be warm enough. The fabric is soft and comfy to touch with a nice fleece lining on chin and neck area to keep that area warm and also helps if you have a beard. I'm about 170 cm, 66 kg and a small fit too tight in the chest and armpits, medium fits well relaxed with room to layer, the sleeves are just a bit long. The hood and collar have nice coverage to keep head and neck warm. Personally, I don't mind the yellow shoelace, it doesn't get in the way much. A great feature is the double zipper which allows you to vent heat without taking the jacket off.

Warm And Sleek

Super warm and fashionable. Needed a new down jacket after 3 years and this green color goes with everything, and the jacket is super warm. Bought it in Portland for these cold months and stoked on it

Love Everything About It!

I live in the Western mountains of Maine beside the White Mountain National Forest. We get spooky weather here. It was a brittle -10° when I got up at 0530. I threw my Expedition Pack Down Hoodie on over just a merino wool base layer. Something I wear 24/7 in the winter here. I was quite comfortable outside. I'm not going to lie, my face stung from the cold. A quick pull, a tug or two here and there and voila! Now it was tolerable which is enough! I'm 69. I've been through a few jackets in my lifetime. I can tell within 5 minutes whether a jacket will do the job and stand up to wear. This was a treat to myself. I have gone through so many winters with barely adequate clothing. This year I finally figured out how to dress. This jacket is superb. It handled some rather high wind the other day better than I expected. I HATE feeling that cold wind blow right through a jacket! Look, I found myself just wanting to go for a walk the other day just so I could wear it! I love the length in the back. Not keeping your butt covered is asking for trouble! Love the arm length which SHOULD be a tad longer than normal to ensure no "pull up" around your wrists. Love way you can pull this jacket around your body. Everything is adjusted just for me! Any jacket like this really shines with proper layer material. It's no secret but, just go with wool. Period. A wool base layer (I go with the thickest I can find) is the key. I quite often wear just my wool base layer for a shirt. Job well done Fjallraven!

Just received mine. Just in time for the upcoming cold weather. I was pleasantly surprised on how lightweight it is. It is quite warm and I feel it will be perfect for my needs.

Don’t Go Out In The Cold!

I thought it was me, when I wore this jacket with 2 layers beneath and I was cold in 5degrees C but it seems others feel the same way. I agree with the other reviewers that it looks good and is a very good fit, but I have been buying Fjallraven for 24 years and I expect to be kept warm in a jacket called “Expedition”. For an expedition to the shops on a mild autumn day it’s fine, but I expect better from Fjallraven.

Nice Coat But Fits Odd

Real nice jacket. Very comfortable and feels warm and durable. The high neck when zipped up gives a lot of protection. Only thing is I may have to send it back due to the fit. The arms are very long. They bunch up at the elbow when worn normally. This would be my 5th jacket from Fjallraven and a medium always fit perfectly but not this one for some reason.

Perfect Balance

I live in the US southeast and the sweater parka's from the typical name brands work just fine for the winter months here. However, I do travel west to snow ski each year and the sweater parka is just a little too light for me for the go to dinner / walk around & shop in ski town temperatures in the US western mountains. Of course for my evening activities, I could wear my on the mountain ski jacket but I'm vain and would rather be more subtle with my evening wear from what I wear on the mountain. :-) This Expedition Pack Down Hoodie is the perfect balance of what I was looking for! I did not want to spend / did not need the features and bulk of hyper warm parka. I wanted an easy plane travel jacket and something a bit more substantial than those sweater parkas I mentioned above. Did I mention vanity? I wanted a jacket to look cool. I found this sweet spot in the Expedition Pack Down Hoodie. It is more substantial than the sweater parkas I mentioned above. Both in down insulation and also the hood addition for those hopeful nights it is snowing at dinner which means I have to get up early for first tracks. Keeps me warmer on those evening nights without the expense of expedition gear. It looks cool. I went with navy but regardless of the base color, I really love the subtley of the yellow in the hood pulls. I also love the logo of Fjallraven. Not gonna lie, I didn't know the Fjallraven brand until I stumbled upon the brand in a store, started my internet research, which resulted in my purchase. This jacket will be my "this is what I wear and/or stuff into my backpack for my flight from the southeast to the moutains, will be my go to dinner/walk/shop around the ski mountain town nights, wear for my depressing flight home." And look cool the entire trip too!

Top Jacket

Superb piece from Fjallraven used recently on a trip to Tromso Norway. Jacket was worn as part of a layering system during snow storms and dog sledding and I didn’t feel the cold once with temps down to -10. Great for expedition or chilling around town. Stuffs away nicely to use as a pillow. Highly recommend ❄️

Bad Quality

I like the look and fit, but the quality of the down filling on the whole backside of the hoody is terrible. There is almost no down inside. The front side and arms are ok. Very disappointed.

Wondering Jacket

This is a down jacket with highest quality and real material
