What is it?
The Skogso Padded Jacket has been a favourite in our range for many years. It is a hip length jacket that is insulated, wind resistant, highly water resistant, breathable and incredibly 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.
What is it made of?
Insultaion: The Skogso Padded is insulated with 145g of Fjallraven's own synthetic insulation, G-Loft supreme. This polyester based insulation provides warmth in just about all conditions, even while wet.
Fabric: 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.
What are the features?
It features a fixed, insulated and adjustable hood, an internal zippered Napoleon chest pocket, two zipped handwarmer pockets, an internal mesh storage pocket, a hem drawcord, 2-way front zip and velcro cuff adjustments.
How does it fit?
The Skogso Padded is designed to fit snug to your body to maximise it's insulating properties. It has a slightly relaxed fit so you can sit fit a layer or two underneith it on those extra chilly days.
Where does it fit in the layering systme?
As an everyday/easy walking jacket, it'll suit best as an outer layer in cold, dry conditions. If it begins to rain heavily, you're able to stick a shell over the top without an issue. 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.
