Expedition Pack Down Hooded Jacket - Men's

Soft puffy for cool temps

This puffy is best used for around 0 C to 5 C in dry weather, in sub zero temps it may not be warm enough. The fabric is soft and comfy to touch with a nice fleece lining on chin and neck area to keep that area warm and also helps if you have a beard. I'm about 170 cm, 66 kg and a small fit too tight in the chest and armpits, medium fits well relaxed with room to layer, the sleeves are just a bit long. The hood and collar have nice coverage to keep head and neck warm. Personally, I don't mind the yellow shoelace, it doesn't get in the way much. A great feature is the double zipper which allows you to vent heat without taking the jacket off.

Warm and sleek

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

Love everything about it!

I live in the Western mountains of Maine beside the White Mountain National Forest. We get spooky weather here. It was a brittle -10° when I got up at 0530. I threw my Expedition Pack Down Hoodie on over just a merino wool base layer. Something I wear 24/7 in the winter here. I was quite comfortable outside. I'm not going to lie, my face stung from the cold. A quick pull, a tug or two here and there and voila! Now it was tolerable which is enough! I'm 69. I've been through a few jackets in my lifetime. I can tell within 5 minutes whether a jacket will do the job and stand up to wear. This was a treat to myself. I have gone through so many winters with barely adequate clothing. This year I finally figured out how to dress. This jacket is superb. It handled some rather high wind the other day better than I expected. I HATE feeling that cold wind blow right through a jacket! Look, I found myself just wanting to go for a walk the other day just so I could wear it! I love the length in the back. Not keeping your butt covered is asking for trouble! Love the arm length which SHOULD be a tad longer than normal to ensure no "pull up" around your wrists. Love way you can pull this jacket around your body. Everything is adjusted just for me! Any jacket like this really shines with proper layer material. It's no secret but, just go with wool. Period. A wool base layer (I go with the thickest I can find) is the key. I quite often wear just my wool base layer for a shirt. Job well done Fjallraven!

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.

Excellent warmth and protection

I have been adding Fjallraven products to my closet since the summer and have been very impressed with the quality of the clothing. The jacket showed up twp days before I left for Iceland and I put it through it's paces and can report it's a quality outerwear piece and up to the task.

Does good job used as intended

Its a really good "förstärkningsjacka" as we call it. Its ofcourse intended as a layer for example under a shell jacket. I use it also stand alone with base layer and thin vest under in milder weather. For a "stand alone" jacket I use either Keb Touring Down or Keb Expedion.

Looked Great but a bit Small For me

Loved the look and feel of this jacket and was hoping to use as a mid layer and have as an option milder MN winter days. I'm 6'3" and about 260 and bought an XXL. Just felt too tight through the arms and chest. Would have loved to keep it but ended up sending it back in. Will watch hoping they come out with a 3XL!

Not For Cold Weather

Size Bought:

Medium

I bought this jacket for a trip to the Baltic States. The weather was above freezing but windy, great and misty most of the trip. The coldest day was blustery just above freezing. The jacket provided little warmth and no protection from the wind. I have other Fjallraven products and this is the only one I'm not happy with. I ordered a medium and it felt closer to a large.

Great everyday coat!

I really like this jacket. I’ve had a Patagonia nano puff coat for 6-7 years and was in need upgrade. Very happy with my purchase! This jacket is very warm and I love the material. Super soft. Great for everyday use. I typically wear a medium but purchased a large so I could wear sweatshirts underneath if needed. Size fits well. I would purchase this jacket again.

Don’t go out in the cold!

I thought it was me, when I wore this jacket with 2 layers beneath and I was cold in 5degrees C but it seems others feel the same way. I agree with the other reviewers that it looks good and is a very good fit, but I have been buying Fjallraven for 24 years and I expect to be kept warm in a jacket called “Expedition”. For an expedition to the shops on a mild autumn day it’s fine, but I expect better from Fjallraven.
