Fjallraven

Skogso Jacket - Men's

Міцна Куртка

It's a very versatile shell jacket. Uses Fjallraven's proven sturdy fabric, with some touch up with Greenland wax on the shoulders and arms it's a great rain coat. I plan on using it as an outer most layer in the winter as well. It's a jeep of a jacket, no frills just practical. It's my one light jacket to wear everyday for mundane chores on the farm, dinners out with friends, and excursions across the coast in Iceland.

Great fit, quality jacket

Bought a navy skogsko and it’s probably my favourite, go to jacket. Worn it a lot and it still looks good. Quality fit, like the longer arms and the shape of the hood. Recommend. Haven’t waxed it but it is reasonably shower resistant which is enough for my needs.

A great jacket

I hesitated a long time before I bought the jacket, but it's worth every cent.

Shell, not a coat; sizing wrong

Familiarity:

I returned this product before using it

Size Bought:

XL

Height:

5' 9"

Weight:

185

First off, it's not a winter coat; it's a shell at best. The fabric is basically just canvas. I'm a thin, broad-shouldered guy, and I felt like I would rip the XL if I moved my arms too much. The arms, btw, were ridiculously long. It's clear this was designed with taller, rail-thin people in mind

Great rainy/windy weather gear

I bought this jacket for the windy/Rainy weather in the Pacific Northwest and I’m very pleased with how it delivered. Warmth isn’t a strong suit of the jacket, but I think that’s not something you’re after if you’re looking at this. Very happy to have this in my wardrobe for hopefully years to come

Great rain jacket

Excellent jacket for rainy days in the UK. Fits well, pockets well placed and designed. Glad I bought it

Breathes better than gore tex

Great fit and function, sufficiently waterproof and better breathing than gore tex.

Good jacket but odd fit

Like the jacket and the features, but as other reviewers have noted; the fit is weird. Its too narrow in the shoulders and too wide in the torso, plus the sleeves are too long. I'm 72kg and 6ft, the medium is too wide and drafty in the torso and the small is too tight in the shoulders. Sleeves are too long on both sizes. Wish Fjallraven would update their fits across lots of their jackets.

Good jacket but strange fit

This is a nicely made jacket and feels well made. Be aware though that it is not in any way waterproof and is only shower proof until it wets out. This is not a serious jacket to take into the hills but more of a fashion jacket. The fit is also very strange, it comes up small around the torso but way too long on the arms. I am a standard medium build but needed to buy a large to fit me on the torso and the sleeves are way too long, I really don't understand the fit on this jacket.

Okay, not great.

Not really impressed with quality. Fit is not quite right. Sleeves are too long. I'm 5'9 with average length arms, and the sleeves cover half of my hands with the medium. If I had gotten small the jacket would have been too tight in the chest because the medium fits closely around my torso. I have the Expedition Pack Down in medium and the fit on that is perfect and feels very high quality. Not sure why this jacket is so much looser, and it seems to be a step down in quality for sure. Also, the zipper gets stuck easily and feels cheap. I would not buy this jacket again.
