6'2"
180 lbs
42" long suit jacket

I bought a large and probably have 4" of room to grow. Arm length great. Super quality. Been out in low teens with 21 mph wind and felt like I was in a sleeping bag.

Coat is killer. Heats up fast. Total arm freedom moving around. Hood fits snug not floppy.

Paid the extra to not see Made in China

I purchased this jacket while living in Lulea, Sweden on study abroad. (less than 150km from the Arctic Circle) This was my daily wear jacket from mid/late fall through to the dead of winter. The jacket is absolutely outstanding in it's quality!!! The down interior is thin yet warm enough with just a t-shirt whenever I was doing any hiking or biking; however, if I was just walking around town or to class I'd need to wear a light flannel or sweater underneath. The style of this jacket is absolutely incredible though and you can tell as soon as it's in your hands that it is of an outstanding quality. This is a jacket I'll be wearing for a very, very long time.

P.S. When i was buying the jacket in the store an older guy came in to buy more of the Greenland wax for his old Fjallraven jacket which looked like it was possibly a year old and he said he'd been wearing it every winter for the past 35 years. So, yea he helped sell me on spending the money on this, yes expensive, yet lifelong quality jacket.

The Greenland Down No. 1 is an excellent coat so long as you know what you are buying it for. Trying to stay warm with a single layer in single digits? Nope. Stuff it in a pack for 6k vertical day? Bad idea. Cut firewood and look good at the bar after? Now you’re talking.
Getting down to the nitty gritty, the detail and workmanship on the jacket are beautiful. Quality leather that will soften over time, soft lining, attention to detail in things like bartacks and under arm articulation. It’s a jacket that will survive things that would destroy most other insulated jackets and the wear and tear will give it some additional character.
While other websites have said it is oversized, the size large fit is spot on for me at 5’11” 200 lbs athletic build. It’s not as trim as Arcteryx (but close) and not as boxy as Patagonia. I’d say the down insulation is less than you’d find in a down sweater and is probably in the range of being 60-80 grams if it were synthetic. That said, the jacket has a sturdy outer which I imagine adds more warmth than a lightweight shell fabric and the water-shedding capability is excellent. It’s a great rough and tumble mountainy jacket, that succeeds in the looks category more-so than any other. It's been my daily jacket for a month of two now and it's been great.

On fjallravens own website this jacket is advertised as being "lightly filled" with down. I can tell just by looking at pictures that the baffles inside the jacket are not very puffy but somewhat flat indicating not very much filling. That being said this jacket gets downright hot with properly added layers underneath. Nowhere is it advertised as a stand alone jacket for 0 degree weather. If you want better water resistance i would wear a cheap shell over it. I would however agree the price is a bit high but with the tough g1000 and reinforced shoulders and elbows this garment should last quite a while even with a medium to hard wear. Love this jacket.

This jacket looks great but was not nearly as insulated as we expected it to be based on the product description. Definitely not intended to be a winter coat in the midwest. It reminds me of the fabric of a Carhartt jacket (which I like) but it has a thin down lining. If you live in the southern half of the U.S. or plan to use it as a (very expensive) fall jacket, this may be for you. Price point quite high for the level of insulation.
