Customer Reviews Fjällräven Expedition Long Down Parka

Was looking for a coat to walk in regardless of temperature. Bought the True Red in XS. I'm 5'2" 120 lbs. Normally wear a S, sized down to XS because REI site said it ran big. Fits perfectly with ample room for walking. Hits mid-calf which is perfect for a long parka (most go to the ground on me: MK and CG). Offset baffle box construction makes this coat exceptionally warm and very light in comparison to above. I don't like to layer so I walk in just leggings and a long sleeve shirt and so far toasty at 25 degrees. Two large pockets outside and two large inside designed for easy access. Originally bought a Jocarda Moose Knuckles but returned it (too heavy, long, and not as warm). Apt name for the coat "expedition".

Fit well in my normal size. Lightweight and extrememly warm. I really wanted to love this, but the zipper hit mid thigh on me and whenever I sat down it would pop open. I didn't want to pay $600 for a zipper that would just get stretched out, so I returned.

The outer shell is made from the same material as the interior lining, which makes the jacket feel very flat and lacking in insulation. Theres insufficient down fill inside, which is disappointing given the price. The overall quality feels cheap, with the clips being made from a flimsy, cardboard-like material. Based on its performance, I would say it's only suitable for temperatures as low as -5C at most, not -10C as advertised. At this price point, it's not worth more than $200-$300. Fjllrven needs a reality checkthis price would be more reasonable for a true premium product, but unfortunately, it falls short. The outer shell feels extremely thin and flimsy, to the point where it seems prone to tearing with minimal wear and tear. For the cost, I expected far better quality and durability. I returned it.

fit and size perfect, afraid the color isn't visible enough

Down and feathers give back warmth

This is by far my favorite coat, it feels like a walking sleeping bag! Ive taken it to Iceland and Greenland in February and it was perfect! Its so nice to finally be warm.

I bought this coat about two months ago. I absolutely love it! Its like wearing a nice fluffy lightweight down sleeping bag. It is great for walking the dogs on cold windy days. The one thing it is missing is some fleece on the collar when you zip it up by your chin.

I absolutely love this jacketit's hands down the best one I own, and I have a lot. The red color is eye-catching, and it's incredibly comfortable and flexible, not stiff or heavy even in the coldest temperatures. Living in the Northeast, I'm often outside in freezing weather, and this jacket keeps me warm without feeling bulky. After a couple of years, it still looks great, and I get tons of compliments on it. It's easy to care for too: I wash it on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and air fluff it on low heat, and it comes out looking like new. Definitely a five-star product!

I recently moved back to Michigan after living in South Florida for 17 years. I knew I would need a solid coat to be comfortable this winter. This coat is a dream, literally like wearing a warm cloud. I love it. I got a size Large, to give me extra room to add even more layers - I am happy I did. Medium would fit perfect but I like it being more roomy and comfortable.

The warmest coat I have ever owned. Ive been wearing it with one layer underneath and extremely warm. And it is so light! Great coat!

Great jacket , warm and toasty , no more cold hikes

After reading so many positive reviews I purchased this jacket. It is absolutely beautiful and I am sure warm, but I ordered down a size (per other peoples’ suggestion) and it was still huge. Boxy and uncomfortable to move around in. I did a few laps inside my house just to be sure. Outstanding quality but I got lost in it.
