What is the Skogso Padded Jacket?
The Skogso is a lightly padded jacket constructed with a combination of Fjallraven's signature G1000® materials and their very own G-Loft Supreme® insulation. Thanks to its versatile, functional design, it's the ideal jacket for casual use or everyday outdoor activities and lifestyles.
What is it made of?
The jacket uses a combination of G1000® Original, G1000® Lite and G-Loft Supreme® insulation.
G1000® is one of Fjallraven's cornerstone materials. It uses a blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton that is ventilating and hardwearing. G1000® Lite uses the same combination of materials but has a lighter, softer weave with added ripstop to prevent the risk of any tears due to its thinner nature.
G1000® can be adapted to different personal preferences or climatic conditions using Greenland Wax. The wax allows you to customise the fabric's properties, such as wind and water resistance and breathability.
Greenland Wax is easy to apply - you can literally do it anywhere! If you'd like to learn more about how to apply it correctly, check out our short YouTube tutorial by clicking here.
G-Loft Supreme® is Fjallraven's own synthetic insulation. It provides plenty of warmth, even when wet, to keep you cosy in any weather or season. Developed by experts at Goldeck Textil in Austria, this insulation is made from a blend of thin, hollow polyester fibres, 10% of which are recycled. These fibres have a natural cluster-forming ability, mimicking down, to create small pockets which trap warm air.
The recycled fibres cause a 'memory effect' within the insulation as they are more rigid than their virgin counterparts. This gives it a slight springiness for loft, therefore allowing it to trap even more warmth.
What are its features?
The Skogso jacket is hooded. This hood fits fairly snug to retain warmth around the head and ears and is adjustable, allowing you to adapt the fit to your head shape and size or layering a beanie underneath.
At the front, a two-way zipper fastening provides ventilation options if you need to dump some heat - you can unzip from either the top or the bottom without having to leave the jacket completely open. The zip pullers are chunky, making them easy to grab hold of with chunky gloves, mitts or numb fingers.
For storage, two chest pockets and two hand pockets are covered with plackets to keep the weather out. They're ideal for storing bits you may want to access quickly, such as doggy bags, hill snacks or headphones. For more valuable items, there are also sizeable inside mesh pockets that easily fit a mobile phone or wallet.
Sleeves are pre-shaped for mobility and can be adjusted with robust button adjusters on the cuffs. You can also alter the hem of the jacket with the drawcord adjustment if you want to cinch it around the bottom for added weather protection and warmth.
The jacket is hip-length for extra coverage and has an articulated cut, ensuring the jacket sits naturally on the body, providing plenty of comfort and freedom of movement.
