Expedition ready
Fjällräven has been creating tough clothing since the early 1970s but the technology it now incorporates has come a long way. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
Responsible down
The lightweight outer fabric and lining of the Expedition Pack Down is made from 100 per cent recycled polyamide. The insulating down is also traceable. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
Fab fill power
The 90 per cent goose/10 per cent feather down used inside weighs just 100g but has a fill power of 700, which is up there with the best on sale. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
Simple pleasures
Two hand pockets in the usual places and a handy interior stash place to keep the more delicate items. There’s even a fabric loop for hanging keys. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
Warmth throughout winter
Featuring large stitch-through baffles, the down covers tall he entire body and keeps everything warm in the coldest environments. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
Swedish quality
The jacket exudes a premium feel and Fjällräven is excellent at adding unique touches that make it stand out. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
Verdict
A brilliantly warm jacket that does a great job of sealing its wearer away from biting temperatures and chilly winds. A classic cut might not be to all tastes. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
