The Skogso Padded is a hip length jacket that is insulated, windproof, highly water resistant, incredibly breathable and durable. This is the kind of jacket that you will find yourself using again and again for just about any cold weather activity from trekking and travel to everyday wear.
Fjallraven have used their phenominal G1000 fabric in two versions to make the Skogso Padded tough and durable whilst being highly breathable and lightweight. G1000 is a blend of polyester and cotton offering fantastic breathability, durability and is lightly impregnated with Greenland wax to provide water resistance. The main body is made with G1000 Lite which offers enhanced breathability, is more flexible to wear and also provides high UV protection and mosquito proofing whilst the shoulders and hood are constructed from G1000 original for enhanced durability. You can improve the weather resistance by adding more Greenland wax to the Skogso or wash the wax out for improved breathability in warmer conditions.
The Skogso Padded is insulated with Fjallraven's own synthetic insulation, G-Loft supreme. This polyester based insulation provides warmth in just about all conditions, even while wet. You get 145g in the main body and 125g in the sleeves for greater articulation and movement. Not unlike the original un-insulated Skogso, the Skogso Padded has an excellent fit and is perfect for trekking, everyday use and travel.
Lastly, it features a fixed, insulated and adjustable hood, twin zipped chest pockets, two zipped handwarmer pockets, a hem drawcord and popper cuff adjustments. A vegetable tanned leather fox logo finishes the Skogso off and reinforces that Scandinavian quailty we have all grown to love.
The Skogso Padded is perhaps not the most technical outdoor jacket but it will provide you with years of warm, reliable service and become one of those favourite bits of kit.
