      The material feels great, but I have yet to start using it this season. However, perhaps I will come back with an update here because I will be taking it with me through the Grand Canyon and Zion National Parks with the hope that the ventilation will be enough to keep me from being sunburned and not overheating!

    Great vid Mr. Ted
    I was looking to this jacket as a replacement for my original orange Sierra Designs 60/40.
    Still mint after 30 years but now its apparently worth like 800 cdn so best bag it and set aside for when my grandkids become hipsters.
    Really tempted to invest after seeing it.
    Only knock would be the shape of the hood, both for myself and the people of Finland.

      Thanks! Its warm, great against the wind to. If you want to improve the jacket against wind and rain you can wax it with the g1000 Greenland wax. Of course if you’re in -20 you would need a good base layer and middle layer! Thanks for watching!

    Hi ted im glad i have found your channel! great stuff.
    Im looking for a new winter jacket to use in outdoor activity. Im struggling to choose between Fjällraven Vidda pro wool padded winterjacket and this classic greenland winterjacket. I do longer hikes and bushcraft once or twice in a month. Since i live in finland it needs to handle cold temps so do you know is the vidda jackets warmth notable better than the greenland winters to pay some extra euros.
    Vidda has some neat features and extra pockets but thats not really big deal braker for me.

    • @TedWeirum
      @TedWeirum  Před rokem

    Nice filmed video, the G1000 material seems to be a 60/40 mix of Poly cotton , very similar to the cloth been used in the Old USA army field jacket M65, i had one time, that jacket (with original synthetic liner) kept me warm for almost 20 years in even the worst situations so this parka will be virtually indestructible too i think, not completely waterproof , but very sturdy and will stop most wind, good quality at a price.

    • @TedWeirum

      The best way to take care of the jacket is to wax it, that will also improve its water resistance. It will take some rain but it probably won’t make it all the way through a heavy downfall

    Start the 10-year clock, Teddy! ⏱ Ya boy just picked up my own Greenland Winter. Ordered an M like my various Kebs, Yupik, and Raven, but I exchanged it at a local store for a L size. Much much better. Looking forward to years of hard wearing with this thing. The Fjallraven quality is totally there on this one. Deep forest is a very nice shade of green.
    I also picked up when I was in the store a fresh new pair of KEB AGILE WINTERS. Hot damn Tedward, they are sexy. They included the boot hook this time. I can confirm that I needed to size up from the old fit Keb Agiles, and I can also confirm that the stretch material is thicker than both Keb Agile standard, and regular Kebs as well. It has a brushed quality to the stretch that is more soft than the Keb standards. I got them in the 2-tone grey and I cannot wait to put them to use in the mountains this winter. Will look full class with the Dusk Keb Eco Shell.

      The Greenland winter parkas is actually one of the colder winter jackets I've owned. It's downright vital to insulate with a mid layer to prevent freezing.
      Also, the hood is terribly tight and uncomfortable around the neck.
      Great review, tho! Really well made!

    • @TedWeirum
      @TedWeirum  Před 5 lety

      Thanks! I agree that you’d need a mid layer deepening on the temperature and the activity, it’s hard to do a winter jacket that can keep you warm enough when moving or standing still, I think it’s great to be able to adapt with middle layers so you don’t end up sweating.

      @TedWeirum  Před 2 lety

      It depends on how much is raining, if I know it’s going to be raining a lot I’d go in a shell jacket, if it’s just a cloudy day with a chance of rain I’d go with the g1000

    A beautiful jacket, but even with the application of the Greenland Wax, its not at all waterproof.
