Excels at it's intended purpose
I love this jacket for what it is - timeless, durable, functional, and equally excellent for generally being outdoors and casual urban wear. I have plenty of technical jackets for intense outdoor activities in all weathers. I did not buy this jacket for that. I wanted a more casual jacket I can equally wear with jeans, chinos or a pair of Kebs, should the need arise. This sits very nicely between my hardcore Singi Winter Jacket and my Greenland Jacket No.1 Special edition shell. I'll wear it out in the low hills, on local walks, and taking a wander to the pub.
I enjoy the process of waxing my g1000 garments as the need arises - it's meditative in a way. The g1000 material is bombproof and I never need to worry about catching on branches or scuffs. I'm not a fan of "babying" my gear and that is definitely not needed with this.
As for the fit, I would say that it lends itself to a more urban and trim aesthetic. I'm 194cm and around 90-95kg. Fjallraven is known for catering to a Nordic frame, and this jacket is no exception. Personally, it works great for me, but I understand as a former bigger guy the sizing may require a try-on before purchasing, especially if you want to be layering up underneath.
All in all I'm very happy with this, and I'll end with what is to many a contrversial statement when discussing outdoor wear - I just absolutely *love* the way it looks.
