Thanks for doing this review. It's not just my favourite Fjallraven jacket, but probably my favourite jacket of any I own! So much so I bought the winter padded version. Keep up the good work mate.
ahhhh, there's a winter version.. now there's another vide we need to do! :)
This video was amazing and can’t wait to see the your review on the winter version hope you keep making them for the foreseeable future.
@Sicqs I will brother, I’m not going anywhere! :)
For me it’s the best day to day jacket, great on the street or in the woods! You took your time, but nice to see you finally review it! 😊👍🏻
Totally agree! I do like to take my time too 😉
@@TedWeirum totally forgiven, but it really is a great design! Keep doing what you do, it’s a great channel 😊👍🏻
Appreciate it brother, thanks!
Good review and as always a good laugh, I've bought this jacket recently and decided to buy this in the indigo blue and I love it. Wasn't sure about it at first as it seems very thin, see through, but I'll more than likely also wear it with a fleece or my expedition latt hoodie during dry weather in Autumn and Winter 😊 If it gets really cold then the Nuuk will come out of the wardrobe.
Thanks brother! How much FR gear you got there? :)
Your reviews made me drive 2 hours to the store and get several things
It do be like that sometimes! I hope you have a great use of your items! :)
Thanks the review. I'm looking forward for a review of the new singi-x trousers and how it competes against the Keb trousers.
here we go again! : ) ill be sure to do my best to get my hands and legs on them! :)
Love this jacket, in late fall/winter I combined it with a Mountain Hardware Ghostwhisper! Good 11 months a year but maybe not on the coldest days! Perfect for hiking,fishing,job cycling jackets, it’s just very versatile 🤷♂️
totally agree! :)
Interesting. Because of the Side Zippers and the Velcro on the sleeves I went with the Abisko Lite Trekking Jacket this week. But this one was in my top 3 as well. 😉
This one turned out to be more or less my everyday carry!
@@TedWeirum Two chest pockets are always a welcome feature, especially in the everyday hassle. The one thing I really miss about the Abisko.
that's a cool jacket dude, thanks for the info!
Anytime brother! :)
Hello. I have many jackets from Fjallraven. However, Skogso is my favorite jacket. Greetings from Poland
Awesome brother, it's definitely one of my favorites too! thanks for watching!
Have this jacket too and love it! Though as you say, when it rains and i’m on the bike the rain especially goes through on the forearms. In my opinion definitely not a rain jacket but an absolut lovely everyday jacket for windy weather!
Yeah, waxing can get you a bit but if it’s a rainy day it’s better to bring an umbrella or raincoat
I got the Skogso padded jacket and was surprised how it fitted me so well and very comfortable. I used the chest pockets and inner pockets quit a bit. I love it. Thanks for your reviews.
it is the same for me! :) great fit! thanks for watching brother!
How warm is it ? Is it warm in sub 5 degree C ?
I dont think so. Maybe if you layer it. I wore it in 40 degree C as a jacket and it was comfortable@@mjbucheeri
@mjbucheeri it depends on what you’re doing, if moving then it’s ok. It’s designed for you to adjust with appropriate layering underneath
You wear the Skogsö padded in 40°C? I would die.@@AddyKapur
@mjbucheeri i use it as temperatures drop below 10°C. Warmth is highly personal, but i think short stays outside under 1 hour just wearing a t-shirt underneath is comfortable.
Thanks for another great review! I'm looking for a jacket with high breathability for bike commuting in the fall and spring, would you recommend this jacket, or is there another more suited for the task? I could of course buy a dedicated cycling jacket, but I'm more interested in a jacket that can also be used for everyday use.
This is exactly what I also use this jacket for nowadays, perfect for this time of year and you can easily adjust it with layers underneath!
As others have said, I wear mine during Spring, Fall, cool summer, Winter as well as a shell on top of my Arc'teryx Atom LT jacket or similar. Love the longer sleeve as well. One thing to note is that jacket does have a slimmer cut style to it than other. So I personally wear size large where as other shirts and such, I wear medium.
This is great input brother! appreciate it! :)
@@TedWeirum Would be great if fjallraven would indicate cut/fit style of each product.
Also, can you please do a new review for the pants like Vidda Pro's? Look like they have been updated with "new improved fit" and seems sizing will vary compare to previous models.
@xxgg noted! I’ll see what I can do brother! I agree, it’s hard to show on camera when it comes to the new cuts so it’s a good idea to highlight it!
I love this jacket
Me too, it’s really nice!
The best, TED❤
Thank you brother! :)
It's okay for a brief rain shower but anything more (even with a triple application of Gwax ) It'll let water in. It's also not great when it gets proper windy. Same for temperatures that dip below 10C. The sleeves are longer than my other jackets.
In short it's good for a cool dryish day.
I like mine (in Blue). I'm sure it'll last me many many years.
Appreciate your input brother! I’m on the same page as you!
You could do a comparison with the Kaipak jacket.
I could, we'll see if I get my hands on it! :)
Hearing the proper pronunciations for these items is worth the price of admission! I definitely pronounced this "Skogg Zo" until today. The jacket looks a bit like a mix between Raven and Abisko Lite Trekking. Maybe even a bit of Yupik/Nuuk with that chest pocket layout.
How does this compare weight and thickness wise to the Greenland jacket? (I just looked, Greenland is 140g heavier in size M). I've got my eye on one of those, and it looks like the Skogso comes in a couple additional colors. Black and Green is so boring on the Greenland. Skogso looks like a slightly less military-inspired version of the same Greenland style design, mildly more appropriate for the city, but certainly at home in the woods.
I think I would spend the extra $40 and pick up a Greenland.
you owe me a full review on the jacket that you do end up getting! :)
@@TedWeirum I think Keb Agile Winter trousers may've just jumped up to the "buying next" top spot. Have you had a chance to check them out? It looks like they might be the classic Keb Agiles made instead with the heavier, standard Keb weight stretch material. It looks like they've redesigned their entire pants lineup now. So glad I own $2,000 of the "Lousy old fit" editions, lol.
@GetUpTheMountains hahaha, I haven’t gotten around to trying them out yet, I still got tons of videos and reviews to do so one thing at a time for me!
😂✨👍🏻 you are the best!!!
I do try brother! :)
Great review. Not too long and everything what have know jacket is in video.
Thanks brother!
I've been quite curious about the Skogso for daily stuff more than trekking. How packable is it?
since it got the hood you could fold it up and roll it in there, it pretty thin so it won't take up much room!
My experience with the Skogso jacket is that it´s a very good design but made with the wrong materials. It´s mostly made of G1000 lite with reinforcements (shoulders) of G1000 original. If you hold up the jacket to the sun you can see thru the thin G1000 lite material. If Fjallraven made this jacket out of G1000 original with reinforcements of G1000 heavy duty it would be the perfect jacket!
interesting point brother! it feels like such a jacket already exist though? maybe the vidda pro jacket?
@@TedWeirum I bought the Kaipak jacket and are very happy with it. Keep up your great work Ted!
@@hyperraptor5484 considering between kaipak and skogso and finally chose kaipak. Still loving my kaipak after 2 years owning it.
The padded version of the skogsö features a mix of G1000 and G1000 lite! It’s a different model but it looks the same :) the shoulders have the stronger G1000 and the body features the lite version
@Kurre. That sounds like an awesome jacket! :)
I've had my Skogso for a few years now. I love it. My pronounciation was way off, haha. I look no where as stylish. I've worn it in about every season. I have it waxed pretty good. The rain protection is not bad. I've been caught in some heavy rain for a short time and was dry. The double zipper is money on this jacket. A down vest, sweater and sweatshirt fits well underneath.
couldn't agree more! :)
LOL! Fun video
Thanks brother! :)
How does this jacket work in the snow?
So far so good, it’s down to what you do and what layers you got underneath. Great for the wind!
how's your finger? Get well soon!
good eye brother! we'll it's still hanging on, I can bend it and its getting back to shape slowly. won't be a hand model anytime soon unless its for insurance commercial :P
Why your Fjallraven jackets are so small? I looked at size chart on Fjallraven vidda pro jacket and 3xl size is small. Although I am not a big guy.
I’m guess that depends on what you’re comparing with?
@@TedWeirum I'm about 1.83 cm, weight around 83-90 kg. Chest around 116cm, waist around 112 cm, seat around 120 cm. But your 3 xl is Chest is 124 cm waist 108 cm seat is 124. Only right is your hand length.
I'd like to buy 2-3 size bigger so I could wear underneath 2-3 layers in the winter period and I could wear that jacket in the spring and the fall. Also I don't have belly. That's confusing man
@natureme2392 I understand, have you tried this jacket on yourself at some point? I’m 181, around 80 kgs.
@@TedWeirum
No. But it's pointless to buy because it won't fit me. Could you pass this issue to Fjallraven guys maybe they will make more 4 -5-6 xl sizes in the future.
@natureme2392 I’ll see what I can do, if you ever get a chance to try it on please do because the size chart is one thing and reality is sometimes another! :)
Your camera man drunk? Made me sea sick. 😂 kidding, good show.
You're not the only one, lol. I guess his son might be filming and excited? It looks like a beautiful day in the park, and they stopped to take a video for us! Fun
He usually is, not this time around though! :)
Albert haven't been drinking for two straight years now! ;) we'll make it more stable next time! :)
I got a size L that fits like a M. ....5ft 7in. 12 stone and it fits tight. I wear it as a windshirt not a jacket.
This is the most complicated comment I’ve ever read! Hahaha, sorry brother, I don’t know anything about stones, inches or feet!
Does it work as a wind jacket for you then?
@@TedWeirum haha!....let's just say medium height and weight you barbarian 'haha!.... the point being it does not fit like a Large so too tight to wear as a jacket.
@grahampovey8073 hahaha, now it makes sense! :)
Skugsa? Damn
Close! ;)
Hahaha I had to add a comment after the request to write something terrible
Hahaha, I appreciate that you took the time brother! ;)
Something terrible
That’s a great start, but I’d need a bit more context to know what you’re talking about, it’s early in the morning here so my mind reading hasn’t kicked in yet!
The fact that this isn't waterproof for this price and having this sort of appearance is inexcusable.
I understand what you mean, what price did you get? what do you mean with the appearance?
@@TedWeirum I mean they could have used a waterproof fabric without changing the look of the jacket much. Price I got is 400 euros.
@kaarthuisplus I understand, in that case it would look a lot like the keb and bergtagen eco shell versions but without the lower pockets. I think there’s a version with that material and pockets too, with the according price bump of course.. :)
Mr. Ted, thank you so much。 YOU are the best of introducing Fjall Raven . I bought a keb jacket already last 4 days. And I will go to Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway next month . Could you please teach me where is the best places in I can buy Fjall Raven products . ( basically when will its SALE time.)
