Customer Reviews Fjällräven Expedition Pack Down Hoodie

Im not sure why anyone gets cold in this jacket. I use this as my outer layer when I ski. All I need underneath is a tshirt and and an old sweatshirt and Im perfect in 0-30F weather. The temperature in Colorado has been hovering around 0F the last few days, so on short excursions around, I stay plenty warm. Walking around campus this jacket is light and super comfortable. It allows me to not have to layer up much as it takes on the cold itself. Its also very durable for a down jacket, Ive clipped trees and crashed hard when skiing, had dogs jump on me, cats claw me, and no damage so far.

Super warm and fashionable. Needed a new down jacket after 3 years and this green color goes with everything, and the jacket is super warm. Bought it in Portland for these cold months and stoked on it

Just received mine. Just in time for the upcoming cold weather. I was pleasantly surprised on how lightweight it is. It is quite warm and I feel it will be perfect for my needs.

Purchased this jacket a month ago from REI to use in Michigan! I love this coat as a great all around jacket. I try to walk my dogs for 30 - 45 minutes daily and have worn this jacket in weather as warm as 45F and as cold as 22F to date. I find that with a good base layer, this jacket kept me warm on a walk at 22F. I have also added the Outdoor Research Foray 3L for the windy snowy day we had Friday and was comfortable walking around 24F. It is also a great lightweight jacket to have on in the car and not too warm when running into the grocery store! Great all around jacket!

I live in the US southeast and the sweater parka's from the typical name brands work just fine for the winter months here. However, I do travel west to snow ski each year and the sweater parka is just a little too light for me for the go to dinner / walk around & shop in ski town temperatures in the US western mountains. Of course for my evening activities, I could wear my on the mountain ski jacket but I'm vain and would rather be more subtle with my evening wear from what I wear on the mountain. :-) This Expedition Pack Down Hoodie is the perfect balance of what I was looking for! I did not want to spend / did not need the features and bulk of hyper warm parka. I wanted an easy plane travel jacket and something a bit more substantial than those sweater parkas I mentioned above. Did I mention vanity? I wanted a jacket to look cool. I found this sweet spot in the Expedition Pack Down Hoodie. It is more substantial than the sweater parkas I mentioned above. Both in down insulation and also the hood addition for those hopeful nights it is snowing at dinner which means I have to get up early for first tracks. Keeps me warmer on those evening nights without the expense of expedition gear. It looks cool. I went with navy but regardless of the base color, I really love the subtley of the yellow in the hood pulls. I also love the logo of Fjallraven. Not gonna lie, I didn't know the Fjallraven brand until I stumbled upon the brand in a store, started my internet research, which resulted in my purchase. This jacket will be my "this is what I wear and/or stuff into my backpack for my flight from the southeast to the moutains, will be my go to dinner/walk/shop around the ski mountain town nights, wear for my depressing flight home." And look cool the entire trip too!

This is a down jacket with highest quality and real material

I'm all for the Fjallraven ethos. I have the Keb Padded Hoodie, and I love it as my lightweight insulator. Looking for a mid-weight puffer for more winter-ready activities, I ordered the Expedition Pack Down Hoodie. Yes, the quality is evident in the construction details, and the face fabric is amazingly soft yet durable. But IMO, two things could improve this awesome piece: 1) this jacket should have had higher fill weight - it is a claimed 3.9 oz, which puts it at the upper end of a lightweight insulator - but in the Fjallraven lineup, the Latt already fills that slot. I was hoping for more warmth and heft to this puffer, so a fill weight of 6.5 - 7.5 oz. would have hit the mark; and 2) fit-wise, it needs a more athletic profile - shorten the sleeves, reduce the diameter of the upper sleeves, taper the waist. Those adjustments would make the Expedition Pack Down a hands-down winner in a sea of competitors.

Packable

I'm 6', 210 with a 34" waist and a 44" chest measurement. The jacket fit well except for the chest area. When I stretched my arms forward, the rear of the kacet in the chest/shoulder area pulled tight. Had to return this one.

I like the Brand. I am returning because it looks like some one used it and returned it. The tag is not attached, it was put into the poket.
