Fjällräven review

Fjällräven is the runner-up because its Nuuk Parka W gives a long, waterproof winter coat for $535. The product page describes a parka that reaches over the rear and thighs, protects against wind and rain, and uses synthetic padding for warmth, with a fleece-lined storm hood, a wire brim, detachable faux fur edging and eight pockets. Synthetic fill holds warmth when damp, which suits slushy cities. For drier, colder places the Expedition Long Down Parka W at $730 is an extra-long version of the 1974 Expedition Down Jacket, filled with roughly equal parts down and synthetic insulation in two offset layers to avoid cold spots. Fjällräven lists Lifetime Repairs, free shipping over $200 and free returns on eligible items. The catch is fit: Fjällräven says both parkas run large, and synthetic padding is bulkier than the 700-plus fill down used by Arc'teryx and Quince.
