Hey Awesome Vid! :)) Wanted to ask when you wearing this around what was the degrees that you will feel hot? Travelling to a place that’s around 17 degrees :))
17C? You might be hot!! But depends where you are. On one of those days where is wet cold you might be ok, and you can push the sleeves up a bit for some venting. But it’s a warm coat for sure!!
Thanks! I think it is true to size and fits well with a lighter layer under it. For me, I think a size up might be a little bit baggy, but if you like your coats that way it might work! This jacket fits me perfectly though!
Hey, do you think this'll suit the upcoming London weather? (hovering around 13 at the moment, but expected to come down to below 10 in about a month) Thanks for the helpful video!
That’s pretty cold! I think you might be alright with a good layer under it, but I will say it’s not waterproof. It does ok in like mist or kind of light rain but once it’s wet it’s wet! So if it’s typical rainy London I’m not sure. Let me know if you get one!
I have a question- I just bought mine and there small tabs at the top of the zip on both side. You can pull them, do you have an idea what it tightens or does?
Hi, I'm travelling to France for a month. I hear it hit -2 degreed C there today. I have a few merino baselyers that i'll use too. Should this be enough for the winters in France?
Great question! I actually JUST did this this weekend because I got grease on mine. Washing down has always scared me haha. Here is what I did: bought a bottle of “Down Gear Wash” from Amazon (I’ve heard good things about Nikwax down cleaner but didn’t have time to order it). I spot treated the jacket with white vinegar and water originally, water first, then vinegar, then water to wipe away the vinegar, but it didn’t remove the grease (works on water spots though!). So originally I just washed the coat with the down detergent. It helped but didn’t fully remove it. So then I wet the stain, put some dish soap on it and worked it in, then washed it again with the down detergent. That basically did the job. I got ANOTHER bad stain on it this weekend and ended up putting some real detergent on the stain (a tiny bit) after another round of water/dish soap and then washing it again. The down detergent really is amazing. My jacket had a little smell and a few rain stains and it completely removed them. Here is the thing: real detergent makes the down clump up. So you need to really use a bit of the down detergent if you use any normal detergent as a spot treatment. But here’s the trick! When you dry the jacket, add either a few clean tennis balls, or like 10 balled up socks. The balls/socks beat the down up and break up any clumps and renew the loft of the down and then it feels like a new jacket. I did mine on medium heat a few times until it felt dry enough. It took me two days to really get it right, but it’s doable! Maybe I should make a video on this…
@@sunilshastry oh man, that’s pretty cold! I think if you had layers on and the coat zipped/buttoned up you would probably be ok. The hood closes nicely and the wrist cuffs keep a lot of warm in. However, I don’t think I would just sit outside in this coat at -30! If you’re moving around you’ll probably be ok though. Full disclosure: I have a Fjallraven I switch to for subzero temps, but I think the Uniqlo would be ok
@@181Days Haha, great to know! Thanks for getting back! And yes, getting outdoors layered up while it's -30 is some task, I had this Uniqlo jacket while in Toronto and it was great and I wasn't sure if it's suitable enough for Saskatoon, CA weather during the winters. Planning to buy it regardless for a potential Black Friday sale.
It is water resistant but not proof, so it will bead up water for a little bit but then let some through the fabric in heavier rain. I have been in pretty heavy storms with this and it dries out fine after a bit, but definitely wouldn't wear it as a dedicated rain coat!
With another layer on underneath you would probably be ok at -10 - it's pretty warm! -5 it might be ok if you're moving around, but I wouldn't sit outside in it at that temp!
I have this same jacket. This is very warm with a merino wool sweater underneath at -2 C in Calgary. For -10 C, I'd probably recommend having the extra warm Uniqlo Heattech sweater just to keep you toasty!
I like the jacket but the length is a problem, it's too short. It doesn't cover your backside and the sweatshirt you're wearing underneath can also show at the bottom.
Thanks Jack! Just got one mine. This is really helpful!
That makes me happy to hear! Thanks for checking it out!
Loved the vid, loved the jacket, loved the content!
Thank you!!

neat review. really informative - thanks )
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Very detailed video, thanks! How about its fit? Do you recommend slightly smaller/larger or true to declared size? I'm torn between M and L

@@181Days Yes what size are you wearing? And whats your height/chest? Would be helpful to know please
@@simonfawcett5265 Sure! My coat is small and chest is about 36-38, I'm 5'9" and it covers me well
Thank you so much for the video.. 😊 I think I'll buy one for my trip to finland this december. Do you think It's warm enough for -15 C?
I think if you bring another layer under it, something somewhat warm it will be a good outer layer, but that’s cold!

I was just in -2° and wish I had this coat! I think with base layers you would be fine!
How would you wash it in the washing machine though, need to wash mine. Plus I have dark grey one and I have a few dark patches from washing up plates

I have exact this jacket. Am very satisfied, it keeps me warm in the winter. Definitely wouldn't recommend it for spring or atumn.
Yeah! I just had mine on for a cold outdoor movie night and it was perfect.
Is this jacket warm enough for temperatures varying between -30°C to 0°C? (let's say with decent layering)

@@181Days what fjallraven jacket have you bought? :D
Hello, how is the performance with rain? I live in Netherlands so I am curious 🌧️⛈️
It is water resistant but not proof, so it will bead up water for a little bit but then let some through the fabric in heavier rain. I have been in pretty heavy storms with this and it dries out fine after a bit, but definitely wouldn't wear it as a dedicated rain coat!
Don’t believe you said this in the video but what size are you? And what is your height and weight if you mind sharing. Thank you!!
Hi, I'm 5'9" and this is a small :)
I would love to know how much can you crunch it down and pack it small?
It packs down flat if you fold it over itself! I can usually fit this in between the sides of my carry on, like sandwiched in the middle.
Does it fit well under a shell jacket?
I think you would need a pretty large shell and it would take away a lot of the breathability! But you could!
Can you show how small it gets when you pack it in “the afternoon”? Hihi
I will try to get you a picture!
Ok I can't figure out how to upload a photo, but packed down it takes up about 1/3 of my 30gallon backpack (normal backpack size)! Hope that helps!
@@181Days thank you! Does it bring a packable pocket?
@@Cal760 It does not BUT, I have realized you can basically pack it into the hood and it ends up being like a 12 inch puffy square
@@181Days oh ok i see thank you so much!!
where did you get your shirt?
It is from a brand called Flag and Anthem!
Does it protect from cold in -5 to -10 C weather?
With another layer on underneath you would probably be ok at -10 - it's pretty warm! -5 it might be ok if you're moving around, but I wouldn't sit outside in it at that temp!

It definitely can happen if you have a longer sweatshirt, you’re right. I do like that it’s a little extra longer than most though
How tall are you?
@@branton957 6'2/187cm. I bought a large and the fit was great, just a bit too short so I returned it.
5'9"!@@branton957
What is the full power of this coat?
That is a fantastic question and I am not sure I know the answer!
should be 200hp stock
@@pulp9058 if I draw flames on it it’s +50hp for sure
I meant to say "Fill Power" of the down :(
@@JonNoto Ha! That makes more sense. I am actually not sure as it wasn't on any labels, but if I run into it, will come back here!
You say it's a nice length, but you are too lazy to stand up and show it. Thanks a lot.
