I really wanted to love this jacket but unfortunately it’s just a really strong like. The jacket construction is excellent quality and the fabric is very very good and waterproof as advertised even in steady rain. My only real issue with the jacket is the placement of the pockets. I completely understand that this is a trekking jacket meant to be worn with a hiking pack but I would like more versatility out of my products and be able to use this in an urban environment with no pack on. I just could not bring myself to get used to these pockets on an every day basis in an urban commuting environment . I suppose that is a just a problem with me and not the jacket.

I got this jacket a month ago and since I’ve used it during heavy rain in the city and during winter mountain climbs. I can say I’ve had no issues with the waterproofing. In the winter mountain, this jacket became irreplaceable for me. Being so light and breathable is such a game changer- I sweat much less, less need to stop for water and I feel much less exhausted. It’s packing small, so it’s super easy to fit it in the external pockets of a backpack, so you don’t waste any unnecessary time- game changer when you are in the winter mountain. The pockets are awesome and the jacket is super comfortable. I was worried about the Velcro on the cuffs, since a lot of jackets will loosen and let air in between the cuff and your gloves, but the Velcro works super well and gives you a solid locked-in feeling. Last but not least, it beats off strong winds like it’s nothing. This feature helps you dress lighter, move faster, and get tired less. This jacket improved my performance per unit of effort in the mountain, which is essential since most mistakes happen out of exhaustion. Really happy about my purchase!

The single best jacket I've ever owned. The fabric is simply a slam dunk and the technical design is on point. Enough room for movement and the sleeves are long enough to use it on a bike aswell. I would like to see a jacket with the cut and features of the Skogso Jacket in the Eco-Shell fabric. I would then have a jacket to wear all year, anywhere.

I was tired of always getting completely soaked every time I went out in the rain. I had been in the market for a high quality shell and something that was not Gore-Tex (as it is terrible for the environment). I knew that Fjallraven made high quality outdoor gear that was environmentally friendly and sustainable. So I purchased this and have not been disappointed. I have been out in some miserable weather and have had stayed completely dry. My only gripe is the adjusters that cinch the hood down - I have a long neck and sometimes they do not stay in place if you are moving around a lot.

Have this jacket for a year now,i use it for wild camping when i stay severay days outdoora without any contact of civilization. I use it as part of my kit that will keep the wind out ,keep me warm without bulking and if i manage to get caught in rain it will keep me dry,it did all these things. However,jacket is not for prolonged rain since outer fabrix is soft and cant apply dwr properly like on other shell jackets,it gets extremly wey on outside that it gets you feeling cold even with some layers underneath. Front pockets are not waterproof since they dont have taped seams inside and water gets in easily. Overall i bought it at 50% of the retail price and im extremly happy,jacket is comfortable,stretcy,tough and fits great just has some flaws to it and its not perfect.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I took this coat on hikes, sledding with kids in snowstorms, and rainy walks with the dog. The jacket seems to absorb a little water but I've always been dry underneath. A great alternative to gore-tex without the environmental implications. My only qualm is the lack of side-pockets which I knew about before but is still a nuisance. Overall, very pleased with my purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I did a fair amount of research before I decided to make this purchase and happy I did. It is true that this is not completely waterproof but it has held up great in rain, sleet, snow ect. I haven't had it soak through yet. Overall, solid 4 stars

Great product, had it for almost 5 years now. Its just starting to take in a bit of water. I've re-applied waterproofing a few times throughout the years, and use this ~30 times a year skiing in the Rockies. I will probably replace it, but overall a great jacket that I was very impressed with.

I too had trouble with the water getting right thru. Even from brand new this doesn't really have a DWR layer, it just absorbs, but you notice after anything more then light rain that it soaks thru eventually. Also to echo some here, the chest pockets become full of water in heavy rain, they're not waterproof, its silly. Perhaps they need to use Gore-tex if they can't create their own waterproof fabrics.

This is the best shell jacket I have ever owned! On a recent trip to Paris, I wore it for 7 straight days, and experienced high winds and rain every day. The jacket kept me warm, it is thoroughly water resistant and I felt ´dry’ inside, with my Keb hoodie. Furthermore the jacket is ´quiet’ and I like the pocket location and ventilation options. Would buy again in a heartbeat. It’s an investment!

This jacket was excellent with one massive dealbreaking flaw. The protection it offers is excellent and I love the upper utility pockets. However, the fact that it lacks handwarmer pockets is a dealbreaker. I returned my jacket for this reason. I would buy it again in a heartbeat if a new model came out with handwarmer pockets. It is a massive disappointment that Fjallraven only offers 2 durable eco-shell jackets, and neither has usable hand pockets

I like the style of this jacket. I can open and close with my winter glove but sometimes a little harder. I wish they have more color option before I bought it.

Bought the blue Keb Eco Shell jacket a few weeks ago. Getting used to proper layering techniques and now very pleased with this product. I have used it on hour long walks with my wife. It looks great, is comfortable and wind proof. I like the fact that it is ‘quiet’ when walking. I am planning on going backcountry skiing next week and the Keb shell will certainly be included an excellent addition to my gear. It is still too cold in Quebec to have (recently) experienced rain. I’ll write another review when that happens.

With the first rain showers I realize the draw cords in the hood don't stay in place once pulled. Customer service: its normal. Well, besides I have other jackets and the drawcord stay in place. But let's forget it and assume it is made like this for some reason (which I find difficult to understand). Front pockets soaked at the bottom, water comes through the seam. Everything in the pocket was wet, including the phone. This is EXTREMELY disappointing for a jacket that promise water proofing at 30000 mm of rain. Otherwise a good jacket, worth it's prize, though?
