Fjallraven Greenland Winter Jacket For Men

2024-11-13T19:00:00

I just got it, so I can't say much as to the longevity of the product. I live in a place with very little precipitation, and water resistance isn't my biggest need (I have a Deb for that). I'm surprised how light this is compared with a stolen Carhartt parka I had that has since been discontinued. I like the fit, the black can be an outdoors coat, and still double as a coat for more formal days at church with a tie. I'm leaving 4 stars because I'm 5'11" (180cm), 215 lbs (97kg) with an athletic build, and a 44" (111cm) chest, ordered an XL, and while fit in the chest feels pretty good, if I raise my arms, it's snug in the back, and about 2" (5cm) of my wrist is exposed. It's snug around my backside, but not a bad fit. I actually like that it prevents too much airflow up my midsection. For more active movement, unzipping from the bottom makes it very useable.

Bought weeks ago and it's comfortable, flexible, stylish and durable.

I bought this as an everyday winter coat for the notoriously windy and cold Chicago winters. I've only used it a few times, but the canvas kept me dry on an especially chilly, rainy day. I would suggest going a size up from what you would normally buy to allow yourself the ability to layer underneath for colder days. In my estimation, the fleece is better than the down version because of its wicking properties and thermoregulation that you don't get with down. It can be worn w/ just a t-shirt on milder days without causing you to sweat. The pockets are large and easy to access w/ the snap buttons, and I love the one on the inside of the jacket to stash my wallet and iPhone. My only suggestion to improve this coat would be to move the two hand pockets to the diaphragm area and cant them as you see on a classic pea coat. Additionally, I would like to see some sort of hand warmer material used instead of the canvas. All in all, an excellent, stylish coat that I look forward to using for many years to come.

Im 6' 250lbs and have a muscular build. I wear XL which is perfect fit. Not too snug. Only complaint I have is because the material is so stiff the zipper separates if I don't snap the bottom button or unzip the lower half to allow it to spread over my lap when I sit.

Poor customer service in response to a question.

Bottom line: initial impressions of loving the style, fit, quality of build/materials, and features. Would recommend Pros: fits well, looks great. feels solid without being too heavy. material, seams, zippers and fasteners feel great. warm in cool temps. windproof. enough pockets. nice hood. Cons: white fuzzy lining on inside will gray and get matted, which will make the coat look dirty. would have liked a different color choice for the lining to show less of that. not warm enough on it's own for chicago winter. fits a down midlayer, though already fits tighter around chest, which is what I was looking for but something to know before purchasing for average American. not the sizing you'd see from brands like Carhartt or LL Bean or Eddie Bauer

Superb winter coat. I have this in night sky colourway. It's very warm and comfy to wear. Fits true to size. For reference, I have a Vidda Pro jacket and an Ovik hoodie in the same size. Loads of pockets. Minor criticism is that the hood isn't adjustable,

I'd expected this jacket to be good for wearing t shirt only in temperature say 8degC down to 0degC. It's not that warm at all. Anything close of 5deg for walking moderate activities and I feel chilly. Have added Greenland down vest but it's still not really feeling warm. So bear that in mind. I would really like to see this with a waist cinch and some sort of adjustment on the back of the hood to improve visibility, if I'm on a city bike with the hood up the side visibility is awful - a cinch at the back would really help. A general request for all jackets would be side vent zips. There are very few FJ jackets with side vents and they'd be really useful when you are being more active but dealing with mixed weather conditions that don't permit zips being drawn open. Waterproofing wise. If you are in a heavy down pour the arms tend to wet thru after about 10-15mins. Generally the body has been ok but it's definitely water resistant vs water proof. Have now ordered Skogso as there are much more positive comments on that jacket on better temperature range. FJ - keep going with the colour ways. Good to see blues / yellows / reds.

Calidad y tacto excepcionales. En cuestión de abrigo, suficiente para inviernos en Madrid con una sudadera debajo (3 estaciones). Detalles cuidados

Great coat for on top of a sweater, lighter and less bulky than most, the hand warmer pockets and longer length make it great on windy days.

Durable, resistant and warm enough for its weight. My city choice for winter, but probably it will do the job in relaxed walks outside. 10/10

Originally ordered the size medium after reading reviews that it was oversized and ended up having to exchange it. I am 6ft and 83kg and the size large fits perfect, jacket fits true to size. The quality is amazing and it is built to last, well worth the money.

I have bought three unlined Greenland jackets over the past forty years, two of them are still in use, the first I grew out of. Fantastic functional and comfortable garments. So I bought a winter one a few weeks ago, great coat however I would have preferred a removable (or none at all) hood. The fixed one that comes as standard has no adjustment and just flops over your eyes and allows the wind to howl about inside it is a chocolate fireguard!!!! When lockdown ends I shall go to a tailor to see if it can be removed. The useless hood will stop me from buying another Greenland jacket, very poor design.

This jacket is everything I was looking for. I wanted a warm winter jacket that wasn't full of down because I find big down parkas to be too warm. This jacket has everything. A plethora of pockets, tough material, and nice colors. The new updated fit is great: not too slim but not too baggy. I am 6'1 and 175 pounds and bought the L. I look forward to many years of use.

My son goes to college in Minnesota, and loves this coat! However, due to carrying a backpack everyday, the coat's color is now much lighter where the backpack rubs. Is there a way to fix or prevent that problem He treated the coat with wax before wearing.

The length, thickness, color (mustard) were all on point. Super warm and waterproof.
