It’s listed as a ‘sale product’ at but that was the one that I wanted.īefore I went with this set I was very close to buy the Marmot Precip set but the fact that the guys at the store said it couldn’t be stowed in it’s own pocket and that the hood doesn’t have a draw cord to cinch it down I went with the Patagonia (The Precip has got a velcro closure that people have complained about, not working well). The color of the jacket is Classic Tan that I think that you can’t really buy anymore. The Torrentshell jacket stows away in the left hand side pocket making it really easy to pack. Got the pants in medium even though I could have gotten the small but because in general I have more bulky pants than my sweater/jacket I went with the medium and I think it was a good choice. Underneath I have my Patagonia Nano Puff jacket that I’ve had for some time – it’s a great jacket! Buy it now □īoth of the jackets are in size small even though all the charts says I should have a medium. I’m not sponsored in any way by Fjällräven nor have I gotten a compensation to put this on my blog. The material was developed exclusively for Fjällräven. ![]() G-Loft Supreme is Fjällräven’s new synthetic padding which should perform very good even in wet conditions. So if you’re in the market for a lightweight non-down-jacket this might be a good option for you. Fjällräven garments are really good and made out of supreme materials to keep them lasting for many, many years. But if I were to replace it in the future I guess this jacket from Fjällräven would be a good option. I’ve only gotten a rip or two in it, one happened when I accidentally managed to get the fabric stuck in my front zipper and pulled on it, which was a bit odd. I’m not really looking to replace my Nano Puff even though I’ve had it since 2011 and used it on a daily basis and for many trips it looks very good and has held up really well. My Nano Puff weighs in at about 345 grams in size small so the Fjällräven jacket should be a little lighter than the Nano Puff as the weight in the specifications above is for a size medium. If I compare this jacket to my Patagonia Nano Puff jacket I’d say that they’re very similar in both functionality and specs.
