Abisko Lite Fleece Jacket

Same with my other reviews, I have several pieces of Fjallraven kit, both Skogso's normal and padded. Greenland Winter, two Expedition Mid Winter's, Sten Jacket etc. I was a fan of another well known brand that specialises in down insulation, however with down being from Northern Ireland when it gets wet, it loses its loft. So I came across to Fjallraven. A decision that I have not regretted considering my collection. The Sten Jacket is a lovely jacket, but I wanted something without a hood, light enough for the summer. Enter the Abisko Light Fleece and in flame orange 😍 Lovely and light, perfect for the better weather and slim enough to use as a layering piece. Great fit, a perfect bit of kit. The only changes I would recommend is the leather zip pullers to make it complete. But top marks again for the Artic Fox Brand 👏

I can’t work out what you would use this jacket for. Wind rips through it. It’s thin so provides little if any warmth. It provides you with a couple of pockets but beyond that nothing. You could say it is a Summer jacket but as mine is black it’s not really a Summer colour. It’s also not the easiest to get your arms into. The material drags against your shirt sleeve. The fit is quite tight. I have a size small which is a snug fit. All in all I find it a puzzling item of clothing.
