is it a bird? is it a hoodie? is it a jacket? truth is its hard to tell, the only thing I know for a fact is that this thing is WARM. looking forward to hear your thoughts!
The polar fleece jacket from Fjallraven offers the maximum warmth for those really cold winter days, even if your'e out for a day hike or an expedition this will be a perfect middle layer in extreme cold.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Robust, warm hoodie that is perfect for adventures in Polar winter conditions. The outer layer is knitted while the inside is in cosy teddy fleece that warms well. Just as comfortable when working with sled dogs as for a winter walk around the city. Comfortable, robust fleece. Soft teddy fleece in wool blend on the inside. Hardwearing, knitted outer layer. Two zippered hand pockets. Adjustable hood. Two-way zipper. Drawcord adjustment at hem. Reinforcements in G-1000 Eco. Elastic edging around the hood and cuffs.

Excellent fleece. So this was filmed before your Polar video, which this fleece would a superb choice for. It looks super warm and comfortable. I don't recall seeing it at our local store looked? Might be a regional thing. Looked like you were contemplating some serious choices in life, ha. Peace

It's good to see you again brother. I hope you are doing well. I guess I missed the video of you in tights... I'm ok with that though 🤣 Looks like a great fleece jacket for a mid-layer during a northern Minnesota winter. They are out of stock on the link you provided, and I can't find them for sale in the US either. I'll put one on my Christmas list, Santa Clause hasn't brought me anything in years (probably not on the nice list 😅) so maybe this time 😁 Thanks for sharing and Happy Holidays my friend.

I love/hate the labels on all the Fjällräven products. I like seeing the name and info, but they're always so many of them and so long. The same labels even on a headband!

I tried removing the labels from my pack down hoodie by cutting the single line of stitching that appeared to hold them in place only to find out that they are sewn in with the structural seam that holds the jacket together. I got the tags out, but I also got a 2” hole in the side of the jacket. Whoops! Local Fjallraven store stitched it back up for me. Do not recommend! Lol

@@GetUpTheMountains I'm always very careful to check for that first, Adidas are also notorious for this same thing. Some brands will incorporate tearaway tags that don't even need scissors or a seam ripper, but it's still worth it to surgically investigate before.

So I never found a good use for the Polar fleece jacket. I've had mine for a few years now and I really wanted to like it, but frankly it's too hot and bulky for a mid layer. In arctic conditions, I want a parkas jacket for protection (I use the Polar Guide Parka or the thinner Barents Parka). Having this underneath would boil me alive. Using it under a shell like a Greenland jacket or an eco-shell doesn't really make sense to me, a down jacket is way more comfortable and agile. So I tend to use it like you do in this video, alone with a t-shirt underneath, but that really only works on days without any wind. As soon as there a gust of wind I'm freezing in this fleece. There is no wind resistance what so ever. The Singi Fleece Jacket is the best fleece Fjälläven made - shame it is discontinued.

So cool that you actually have one! I understand what you mean, it's really a unique garment with a specific purpose. I find myself using it a lot, I do live down south in Sweden so the winters here don't tend to be too extreme, for me its perfect to use when i'm going in and out from warm to cold! thanks for your input brother!

I have had this jacket in green for a few years now and I love it and feels indestructible. However, I have to agree with SalatbarAndreas concerning the wind resistance or lack of, but when worn underneath my Singi Anorak It's fantastic.

Gore-tex that is also insulated could work with this Polar fleece instead of duck down because the moisture will escape the fleece and also the Gore-tex. Fjallraven instead has Eco shell and or soft shell but they are both soft material non insulated. Arcteryx and Fjallraven don't mix but if they did, than that would solve it.

Another in the Not-selling-it-to-the-US lineup of items. Not sure if it's better to be listed as "Sold Out" in every size and colorway like the UK page, or just have it be missing entirely from the webpage like the US store. Disappointing! Your Sverige pronunciation of Polar is, however, worth the price of admission! Looks like a nice piece for laying up in winter camping. I am slightly ahead of you in re-bearding for winter adventures. ;)
