Fjällräven Skogsö Jacket

A midlength trekking jacket done in a modern style, the Fjällräven Skogsö can transition easily from a weekend in the mountains to a morning bike commute to a night on the town. It’s made from G-1000 Lite, a wax-impregnated blend of polyester and cotton that boasts excellent resistance to wind and water. Featuring a dropped tail, pre-shaped elbows, and a two-way adjustable hood, it offers protection from the elements and ventilates well to keep you cool. The placket-covered, two-way front zipper has a push-button closure, and the two vertical chest pockets and two hand pockets give you plenty of space to carry essentials. A drawcord hem adjustment, shoulder and hood reinforcements, and leather details complete the package.

Founded in 1960, Fjällräven was inspired by a young man’s treks in the mountains near the small town of Örnsköldsvik. Dissatisfied with the gear available at the time, 14-year-old Åke Nordin began making framed backpacks in his basement using his mother’s sewing machine, and later expanded to tents. Today, the company applies Åke’s commitment to functionality, durability, and dependability to a range of products. “Fjällräven” is Swedish for “Arctic fox.”
