Fjallraven - Where does it fit in for you? (Discussion)

Hello you Fjallraven fiends!

I hope you had a lovely Christmas and Santa brought you all lots of goodies!

A question about Fjallraven if I may (a question that may have different answers around the globe, but based on a British point of view).

Where does Fjallraven work for you?

I have just bought my first Fjallraven jacket (Vidda Pro) at a monster discount because the jacket is being replaced in 2024 apparently (or they are updating the styling in some way shape or form).

I unequivocally love the jacket - The styling is perfect, the fit (for me) is amazing, the colour, the material….. everything about the jacket is perfect.

But…..

It’s not warm, it very much needs a mid layer fleece or something similar if the temps drop (and I run warm, so I imagine it’ll be worse for others).

It’s not waterproof. Yes, you can wax it, but it’s still a temporary barrier to light rain and not a real waterproof option (based on comments I’ve read, not experience mind you).

It’s not the most comfortable next to the skin - Something like Paramo is VERY comfortable and soft.

And it’s only mildly windproof - It’s enough for me 99% of the time, but I wouldn’t want to be up a British hill in the cold driving wind!

So…. Where does it fit? And where does it excel for you?
