Fjallraven

Kiruna Padded Parka - Women's

Please never stop making this jacket

I’ve had this jacket for over two years and I still love it. I wear it most of the year with varying degrees of layers. I love the lower side pockets where I can tuck my hands comfortably (some of the other fjallraven parkas don’t have lower side pockets in the women’s version). I love the variety of pocket types and locations and use all of them. I love the cut and style. I love the color. I have the blue one which is such a beautiful tone. And I love how durable it is. I spend a lot of time in the forest with thorny vines, conifer branches, and a rowdy dog, and it has held up amazingly. Even in lots of rain when the wax layer is up-to-date. It has faded a little. I’m not sure if the slight fade is because of use or because I need to be better at waxing it. Please never stop making this jacket.

I recently took the Fjallraven Kiruna Padded Parka on a trip, and it quickly became my go-to jacket. It’s perfect for travel since it packs up nicely and is ideal for 40–60°F weather. While it’s not fully waterproof, it does an excellent job repelling water, and the hood is great for mist and drizzle. The extra length was a lifesaver, keeping the chill out, especially on breezy days. It’s wind-resistant and roomy enough to comfortably layer over a base layer or even a sweater or sweatshirt for extra warmth. The fit is spot-on—snug enough to feel tailored but with enough space for layering without feeling bulky. I also loved the thoughtful chest pocket—it was super handy for storing my phone while on the go. Overall, this parka is versatile, practical, and stylish. If you’re looking for a great travel companion for mild to cool weather, this jacket is a solid choice!

Versatile

Love everything EXCEPT the arms are super long! After one wash and carefully following the washing instructions, the coat has faded visibly on the seams. :( It's lightweight for running errands but warm enough in Canadian weather to walk your dog in.

Perfect for layering/warmer winters

So glad I have this coat. I live in SE Tennessee so winters are more mild than my original home in the Midwest, but the fit allows me to layer so I'm confident even during my travels this jacket is a one stop shop. I bought a large. I'm 5'2", 34J and usually wear a M/L top, size 12. The large fits perfectly, again, with enough room to layer a sweatshirt or sweater underneath comfortably. It doesn't look too big without the extra layer under it either. My ONLY super slight complaint is that the sleeves are way too long (which is a common complaint for me). If they were an inch shorter it would be completely perfect, but I think the cut of the coat is such that they're meant to be longer anyway. It's a specific thing for us shorter folks and it's not anything to make or break the jacket for me personally. I went out of my way to pay full price for it just to get the color I wanted (it was on sale at a wholeseller but didn't have the Acorn color in stock any more), which isn't something I do often. I've had similar coats that cost less but didn't fit as well, and the versatility, adaptability adjustability, potential longevity of this jacket makes it worth every penny.

Great New England winter parka

Wonderful parka that was great for colder New England weather. The sleeves were a bit long when I was wearing a large, but after weight loss, elected to buy a smaller size as I liked the winter proof so much. Did great in winter weather.

Always warm and dry

Scotland in April. Perfect coat every kind of weather. Never been happier w a purchase.

My favorite travel jacket

I bought this jacket in Nov 2023 for my work travel (mostly Seattle). It has become the perfect travel gear for both cold and rain over this winter season. What I enjoy most is - the length of the coat, the two additional pockets in the front (one outside front left and one inside front right) and the adjustable waist in the back. It will keep you warm, which I need, and has also kept my dry during a 20 minute walk in the rain without issue. I did size up in order to give myself additional room for layering, which was simply a preference. I’m now interested in purchasing a lighter packable style (as similar as possible) to replace my current rain jacket.

I’m 5’10 and the sleeves are a little short on me. Also the material is pretty stiff. Doesn’t siit down next to your body and makes that shuffling noise when you walk.

Cheap Zippers that Break Easily

A lot of Monday for a coat with pockets that have cheap, CHEAP zippers. I have spent easily $2000.00 on 4 jackets and the zippers are horrible. I would say the coats are great but the zippers make me want to return every coat I have purchased.

Great coat !!

Bought this coat for my wife over two years ago and she loves the light weight and warmth she gets from wearing this coat - she says she will never wear a different brand
