Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Thanks to the comment section and the subscribers who asked me to make a review on this jacket, I'm sorry that it took a while! The Skogsö jacket looks great in both the city and in the woods, I was looking for a jacket for forrest walk that would breathe but still cover me from wind, I think I've found the one! hope you enjoy!
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Hip-length outdoors jacket that is slightly longer in the back and has a fixed, adjustable hood. Just as comfortable trekking as it is when biking to and from work. It provides protection from the wind and light rain showers while also offering good ventilation, which means that you will not become as sweaty as you would when wearing a fully waterproof garment. It is made from G-1000 Lite and has G-1000 Original on the shoulders. Two vertical breast pockets and two side pockets, all of which are hidden behind flaps. Two-way zipper in the front hidden behind a protective flap that has push buttons at the hem, in the middle of the chest and at the chin. Adjustable hem and push buttons at the sleeve cuffs.

    Good review and as always a good laugh, I've bought this jacket recently and decided to buy this in the indigo blue and I love it. Wasn't sure about it at first as it seems very thin, see through, but I'll more than likely also wear it with a fleece or my expedition latt hoodie during dry weather in Autumn and Winter 😊 If it gets really cold then the Nuuk will come out of the wardrobe.

    As others have said, I wear mine during Spring, Fall, cool summer, Winter as well as a shell on top of my Arc'teryx Atom LT jacket or similar. Love the longer sleeve as well. One thing to note is that jacket does have a slimmer cut style to it than other. So I personally wear size large where as other shirts and such, I wear medium.

I'm looking for a jacket with high breathability for bike commuting in the fall and spring, would you recommend this jacket, or is there another more suited for the task? I could of course buy a dedicated cycling jacket, but I'm more interested in a jacket that can also be used for everyday use.

    It's okay for a brief rain shower but anything more (even with a triple application of Gwax ) It'll let water in. It's also not great when it gets proper windy. Same for temperatures that dip below 10C. The sleeves are longer than my other jackets. In short it's good for a cool dryish day. I like mine (in Blue). I'm sure it'll last me many many years.

    Hearing the proper pronunciations for these items is worth the price of admission! I definitely pronounced this "Skogg Zo" until today. The jacket looks a bit like a mix between Raven and Abisko Lite Trekking. Maybe even a bit of Yupik/Nuuk with that chest pocket layout. How does this compare weight and thickness wise to the Greenland jacket? (I just looked, Greenland is 140g heavier in size M). I've got my eye on one of those, and it looks like the Skogso comes in a couple additional colors. Black and Green is so boring on the Greenland. Skogso looks like a slightly less military-inspired version of the same Greenland style design, mildly more appropriate for the city, but certainly at home in the woods. I think I would spend the extra $40 and pick up a Greenland.

It looks like they might be the classic Keb Agiles made instead with the heavier, standard Keb weight stretch material. It looks like they've redesigned their entire pants lineup now. So glad I own $2,000 of the "Lousy old fit" editions, lol.

    I've had my Skogso for a few years now. I love it. My pronounciation was way off, haha. I look no where as stylish. I've worn it in about every season. I have it waxed pretty good. The rain protection is not bad. I've been caught in some heavy rain for a short time and was dry. The double zipper is money on this jacket. A down vest, sweater and sweatshirt fits well underneath.

    My experience with the Skogso jacket is that it´s a very good design but made with the wrong materials. It´s mostly made of G1000 lite with reinforcements (shoulders) of G1000 original. If you hold up the jacket to the sun you can see thru the thin G1000 lite material. If Fjallraven made this jacket out of G1000 original with reinforcements of G1000 heavy duty it would be the perfect jacket!
