    Great vid Mr. Ted
    I was looking to this jacket as a replacement for my original orange Sierra Designs 60/40.
    Still mint after 30 years but now its apparently worth like 800 cdn so best bag it and set aside for when my grandkids become hipsters.
    Really tempted to invest after seeing it.
    Only knock would be the shape of the hood, both for myself and the people of Finland.

      ​@@RaP22I'm not sure what you mean. The color hasn't faded much. The jacket has held up great. I've waxed mine several times because I got caught in a few storms. Misting and very light rain is fine, but if the raining steadily it will come through the jacket. It's great for everything else. I have no complaints and would buy it again. ...man, I didn't realize it's been 4 years. I hope I can get 10 years out of the jacket, like Ted's. 😄

      Thanks! Its warm, great against the wind to. If you want to improve the jacket against wind and rain you can wax it with the g1000 Greenland wax. Of course if you’re in -20 you would need a good base layer and middle layer! Thanks for watching!

    Start the 10-year clock, Teddy! ⏱ Ya boy just picked up my own Greenland Winter. Ordered an M like my various Kebs, Yupik, and Raven, but I exchanged it at a local store for a L size. Much much better. Looking forward to years of hard wearing with this thing. The Fjallraven quality is totally there on this one. Deep forest is a very nice shade of green.
    I also picked up when I was in the store a fresh new pair of KEB AGILE WINTERS. Hot damn Tedward, they are sexy. They included the boot hook this time. I can confirm that I needed to size up from the old fit Keb Agiles, and I can also confirm that the stretch material is thicker than both Keb Agile standard, and regular Kebs as well. It has a brushed quality to the stretch that is more soft than the Keb standards. I got them in the 2-tone grey and I cannot wait to put them to use in the mountains this winter. Will look full class with the Dusk Keb Eco Shell.

    Hi ted im glad i have found your channel! great stuff.
    Im looking for a new winter jacket to use in outdoor activity. Im struggling to choose between Fjällraven Vidda pro wool padded winterjacket and this classic greenland winterjacket. I do longer hikes and bushcraft once or twice in a month. Since i live in finland it needs to handle cold temps so do you know is the vidda jackets warmth notable better than the greenland winters to pay some extra euros.
    Vidda has some neat features and extra pockets but thats not really big deal braker for me.

    Nice filmed video, the G1000 material seems to be a 60/40 mix of Poly cotton , very similar to the cloth been used in the Old USA army field jacket M65, i had one time, that jacket (with original synthetic liner) kept me warm for almost 20 years in even the worst situations so this parka will be virtually indestructible too i think, not completely waterproof , but very sturdy and will stop most wind, good quality at a price.

      It depends on how much is raining, if I know it’s going to be raining a lot I’d go in a shell jacket, if it’s just a cloudy day with a chance of rain I’d go with the g1000

      @TedWeirum  5 лет назад

      I’d say it’s more about what I’m doing, I can use it all winter without a problem and then just adjust with middle layers and so on, the key is to adapt to the situation that your in and the task you’re doing!

    • @AarlandSun
      @AarlandSun 5 лет назад +1

      The Greenland winter parkas is actually one of the colder winter jackets I've owned. It's downright vital to insulate with a mid layer to prevent freezing.
      Also, the hood is terribly tight and uncomfortable around the neck.
      Great review, tho! Really well made!

    • @TedWeirum
      @TedWeirum  5 лет назад

      Thanks! I agree that you’d need a mid layer deepening on the temperature and the activity, it’s hard to do a winter jacket that can keep you warm enough when moving or standing still, I think it’s great to be able to adapt with middle layers so you don’t end up sweating. Thanks for your comment!

    • @TedWeirum
      @TedWeirum  6 лет назад +2

      Since I use this jacket in wintertime I don’t worry too much about waxing it, if I know that it’s gonna be wet and rainy I’d use the Keb ecoshell jacket, I made a video about it too! :) thanks for watching!

    • @crunkinthis
      @crunkinthis 6 лет назад +2

      TedWeirum new subscriber. I love fjallraven products. Comes with a hefty price. I'm thinking about this jacket but would it withstand rain or harsh snow? I can buy this or the eco shell but not both. Any tips? I have the kajka 85 and love that pack to death and have vidda pants. Never used it in heavy rain but in snow dried fast and was pretty water resistant.

    • @TedWeirum
      @TedWeirum  6 лет назад +1

      Welcome! If you’re looking for something that can do both rain and snow i would go with the Keb ecoshell plus some middle layers depending on the weather! Long story short, you get what you pay for, Fjällräven has an environmental mindset like no other company I’ve seen, it’s something worth considering! Thanks for watching! :)

    • @LastStarfighterAJ
      @LastStarfighterAJ 6 лет назад +2

      In the UK winters are wet just like the rest of the year but I’ve never liked shell jackets and find pure polyester irritates my skin. I use waxed G-1000 year round.

  • @peterlewis3540
    @peterlewis3540 3 года назад +1

    A beautiful jacket, but even with the application of the Greenland Wax, its not at all waterproof.
    Its a very posh windproof jacket, that is way too expensive.
    You need a jacket that provides protection from all the elements, come rain or shine, and G1000 fabric is showerproof at best.

    • @TedWeirum
      @TedWeirum  3 года назад

      This is a winter jacket, the intention here is for it to withstand snow and wind, the Greenland wax can help with that, for a rain jacket I’d go with the Keb eco shell! :) thanks for your input!

    • @TedWeirum
      @TedWeirum  6 лет назад

      It was given to me so I just took it as it was, with that said the size was good, I’m usually a medium size and that’s what I got, there is room enough in the jacket for layers and a thinner down jacket, though I never needed to use a down jacket with this one! Thanks for watching!
