I recommend sizing down on this. I'm about 5'10" and always wear a size Medium but I have this in a small and fits me perfectly. I tried the M and it drowned me.
@@joakimtollerud2172 Yeah, maybe go for a size M. If you usually go for an L, you're probably an M in this jacket. I am 5,10" and 80kg and my size S is still quite loose fitting. I usually take a medium with the odd item being a large but the Fjällräven Greenland in a size M was huge on me.
I have this jacket in the night sky colourway. It’s super comfortable and very warm. I’m 5’7” and a stocky build and have this in XL. Fits perfect. For info, I also have the Fjallraven Vidda Pro in XL and the Fjallraven Ovik hoodie in XL as well. It feels extremely robust and can tell it will last a lifetime. Primarily used for walking, casual wear, work etc…. Great review. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
@@some_developer I’m only 5’7” and I wear the XL due to my stocky frame. The arms aren’t too long for me but I don’t like short arms on jackets anyway. I prefer a bit of ‘give’. The jacket fits a fraction longer on me than on the models on the fjallraven website because I’m not over 6” and slim. If you’re a slimmer build then the jacket would drape over your frame more than mine as I have thick shoulders. If you Google the jacket, I’m sure you’ll find exact measurements somewhere. You won’t regret it. It’s a belter!!!
Both the Greenland Winter and Skogso aren't really active pieces; they're better suited to light walking and everyday use. I definitely wouldn't use them for cycling or outdoor gym use.
I'm afraid we don't stock the Singi Winter Jacket and can't seem to find it on Fjallraven's website, however the Greenland Winter Jacket is an excellent city jacket.
Not on the whole, no. Some of their jackets are a larger fit, others are bang on, others are slim. Their more 'everyday' garments such as ones with Vardag in the name tend to be looser, while others designed for trekking/hiking are typically slimmer.
I tend to get cold in almost all weather. Is this coat warm enough on its own (with just a button-down and tee underneath) to go out in 20F and below or is the pile not insulating enough?
I'd find it warm enough when moving, but if you run cold you may have to stick a fleece on underneath. Layers are always better than one big jacket; even for everyday use. Harry
Hello, Thank you very much for your video! I have a question, I bought this jacket two days ago and I really like it. I wanted to know if it softens over time because I find it a little stiff at the moment ? Thanks in advance :)
As you wear anything made from G-1000 that has been waxed with Greenland Wax you will find it does soften. It will stiffen back up with a fresh top-up of wax, but will quickly get softer and more comfortable.
@@AskeGW eh Hi! so I don't wear it now because it's summer but in winter I don't find that it has become more flexible. It really remains a stiff fabric compared to other jackets from other brands in my opinion.
@@Blown86 So G-1000 comes lightly pre-waxed from Fjallraven. It will soften (the Greenland Winter I bought 12 months ago is softer than the second one I just got) with time, but you can also wash it in hot water whgich will melt any of the wax out and leave you with a jacket that is as soft as G-1000 can get.
Hi there, great review BTW, I am looking at ordering one soon, and i'm going toward the large too, my chest is 103 cm and waist 86, just over 12 st, i'm around 5' 9" ... This looks like it'll keep my upper legs warm too :) :)
From memory I don't think they do, but unfortunately we don't stock the jacket anymore so I can't check for sure. It may be worth sending Fjallraven a quick email, I'll pop their contact details below. Kind regards, Harry. www.fjallraven.co.uk/customer-service/contact/
Comparing this video with your Skogso review (I’m 6’3” as well so perfect) looking at the Greenland / Greenland winter vs Skogso and Vidda pro, they all look good!!
I would choose the Greenland Winter Jacket. I just bought one myself, and it's really nice in the Deep Forest color. I want to say that it's warm even in -5 celsius, as long as you have a fleece or a thick shirt under :)
Mike Duncan If you’re looking for all-season, then does that include summer? Because the jacket for me is a safety, bc I live in the bitter cold of Scandinavia 😄
Mike Duncan Well I think this will be too warm for summer nights. What I do have myself as well, is the Fjällräven Kaipak Jacket. It’s more like a hardshell, with no insolation other than the G-1000. But I use it for fall/spring with layers under :)
They're all fantastic options, but all feature different fits. The Skogso is long and slim, whereas the Greenland Winter is shorter and wider. They'll all do what you're after, so it comes down to which fits you best. Kind regards, Harry.
Skogso for everyday use and countryside walking, Greenland for just everyday use. Durability will be almost identical thanks to the G-1000 outer fabric; the only difference is the Greenland is filled with down whereas the Skogso uses synthetic insulation.
@@trekitt Thanks for reply. Greenland Winter Jacket has pile lining and is not Down insulated though. Maybe you are thinking of the Greenland Down Jacket.
@@marcusstoner1641 Ah, sorry, misread the title of the video! It's largely the same answer; the Skogso is brilliant for a little countryside walking as well as everyday use, whereas the Greenland is more aimed at just everyday use and possibly bushcraft due to its bombproof pile lining.
Dark Olive always looked brown to me (having worked for them I have seen plenty of items in this colour), unsurprisingly there are actually brown olives ;)
I am a little surprised by the sizing. You are wearing a Large and you are 6' 3"... I am 5' 11" and usually wear and XL... The coat seems to fit you perfectly. Great no nonsense review.. I think that I am buying this coat

They do fit big! Thanks for watching.
Hi Jay, I'm 6" and 89 kgs. Do you think size M will suit me? I want to have a thicker sweater as a second layer.

Is greenland winter jacket or Skogsö more suitable for long walks, modest winter cykling and outdoor gyms? Does Skogsö become too warm?
Both the Greenland Winter and Skogso aren't really active pieces; they're better suited to light walking and everyday use. I definitely wouldn't use them for cycling or outdoor gym use.
@@trekitt I thought Fjällräven was for people with an active lifestyle. Maybe a skiing jacket would be better for long walks during the winter?
@@andyn6053 There´s other Fjällräven jackets for trekking and the likes.
Is this warmer than the Fjallraven Singi Winter jacket (not the down version)? Which one do you recommend to wear it in the city?
I'm afraid we don't stock the Singi Winter Jacket and can't seem to find it on Fjallraven's website, however the Greenland Winter Jacket is an excellent city jacket.
i mean it all depends on how much layerer person would want/need to wear too but...
would you agree that fjallraven jackets fit bit large?
Not on the whole, no. Some of their jackets are a larger fit, others are bang on, others are slim. Their more 'everyday' garments such as ones with Vardag in the name tend to be looser, while others designed for trekking/hiking are typically slimmer.
@@trekitt Would this be more loose fit than Skogso Padded? I read Skogso series is bit slim fit?
@@xxgg The Greenland will have a slightly looser fit compared to the Skogso Padded, you are correct in saying the Skogso is a slimmer fit.
I tend to get cold in almost all weather. Is this coat warm enough on its own (with just a button-down and tee underneath) to go out in 20F and below or is the pile not insulating enough?
I'd find it warm enough when moving, but if you run cold you may have to stick a fleece on underneath. Layers are always better than one big jacket; even for everyday use. Harry
Is that logo on arm removable without ruining jacket?
Theoretically it should be okay as it's just stitched on, however we've never tried it.
Thanks for the response yeah if it’s stitched it should be okay I was concerned it might be ironed on with heat
CGM why would you want to disrespect the company like that? Don’t even buy the jacket
@@christianb8228 jacket would look better without the ugly ass patch!

Thank you very much for your answer ! Ok i will wear it and hope in a month it will be softer . Thanks :)@@trekitt
@@Blown86 Hey man, I was wondering, did it actually end up getting softer? :)

Hello is this the deep forest colourway? thx
Dark Olive - this isn't available anymore though.
just bought one, thanks for this great review!
Glad I could help!
This jacket has since been updated for an improved it. (The hood for example looks much better).
Good point; if we get these back in stock we'll be sure to update the video. Thanks for watching.

Really great overview! Thanks man! 👍
You're welcome, thanks for watching. Harry
Do the bottom side pockets have the fibre pile in them and do they zip up? Thanks
From memory I don't think they do, but unfortunately we don't stock the jacket anymore so I can't check for sure. It may be worth sending Fjallraven a quick email, I'll pop their contact details below. Kind regards, Harry.

The bottom pockets approached from the side neither have pile, nor do they zip up.
Huge thanks for this great review!
Not a problem!
Great review
Thank you!

Mike Duncan If you’re looking for all-season, then does that include summer? Because the jacket for me is a safety, bc I live in the bitter cold of Scandinavia 😄
Yes for cool summer days/ nights, all of spring + fall, just casual go-to all-round jacket.
Mike Duncan Well I think this will be too warm for summer nights. What I do have myself as well, is the Fjällräven Kaipak Jacket. It’s more like a hardshell, with no insolation other than the G-1000. But I use it for fall/spring with layers under :)

nice video.. may i ask which is heavier greenland winter jacket vs skogso padded jacket? thanks
Hi Pato,
The Greenland Winter is the heavier jacket at 1260g in a size medium, the Skogso Padded is only 1120g in a medium.
Metal zip fantastic ! I have a Jack Wolfskin with a plastic zip which is virtually useless
Fjallraven know how to make a quality jacket! Thanks for watching. Paul.
@@trekitt actually it’s a plastic zip with a metal handle identical to the Wolfskin one in design. That’s extremely disappointing.
@@SeanCBL7 Yeah, the zip severely lets this jacket down in my opinion.
@@tom7245 it does. It’s an absolute pain in the arse to use. Mine is getting easier as it gets older though.
@@SeanCBL7 Yup. I also have a Barbour Bedale jacket, which features possibly the greatest zip ever created on a coat. The difference is staggering.
For English winters would you recommend this or the Skogso Padded Jacket? Do they have the same durability? Thanks.
Skogso for everyday use and countryside walking, Greenland for just everyday use. Durability will be almost identical thanks to the G-1000 outer fabric; the only difference is the Greenland is filled with down whereas the Skogso uses synthetic insulation.
@@trekitt Thanks for reply. Greenland Winter Jacket has pile lining and is not Down insulated though. Maybe you are thinking of the Greenland Down Jacket.

Good video..thxs :D
No cords for the hood is a no go! Its also strange that this dark olive look brown in sun light.
To be fair it's a casual jacket, and with regard to the colour, light can be deceiving. Thanks for watching.
Dark Olive always looked brown to me (having worked for them I have seen plenty of items in this colour), unsurprisingly there are actually brown olives ;)
Imagine being locked out of your house in a greenland winter without a jacket
I am a little surprised by the sizing. You are wearing a Large and you are 6' 3"... I am 5' 11" and usually wear and XL... The coat seems to fit you perfectly. Great no nonsense review.. I think that I am buying this coat
It depends on various factors such as chest size, shoulder width, overall weight etc. Paul is pretty much a size large in every brand.
