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?
