Fjall Raven Greenland Winter Jakke

Replaced an old version with this. The fit is a lot smaller which is a pain but not a deal breaker however the hood all be it warm is useless in wind and needs elastic to tighten it at the very least. Seems it’s more of a fashion/dog walking jacket than a jacket that’s designed to be reliable. I would not recommend for the price.

The quality of the jacket is great. The sizing and proportions are totally wrong. I bought a size large in this version, which previously has fitted fine. This one is tight around the shoulders, a bit shorter, and the hood is useless unless you have a head the size of a baseball. A major design fault. I have loads of clothing from this brand so very disappointing.

I’ve owned a Greenland Winter Jacket some years ago, and really enjoyed it. However, in my view the quality of this product has greatly declined. Firstly the hood has no adjustment: unless you’re wearing a helmet, the loose hood just blows off your head, making it useless for anything except warming the back of up our neck. I found the quality of the stitching variable and the fit strange, tight in places, loose in others (my previous one had a slightly loose fit, but very consistent). Some of the lining fitted well, other parts were loose. I think this jacket is an example of what I perceive as a decline in standards from this once great brand, which I first wore in 1999

Superb jacket. Beautifully made, feels bombproof and looks great. I sprayed mine with Nikwax Wax Cotton Proof, which once dry is invisible (its a white liquid when applied) and it renders the jacket extremely waterproof. Definitely my favourite winter jacket by quire some margin.

Works great as the outer layer in a three-layer setup. Not ideal two-layer setup. Stylish, timeless overall, but the fit is less optimal between sizes.
