In 1978, Fjällräven created the iconic Expedition Down Jacket, an incredibly warm coat with two layers of insulation that has maintained its popularity in the years since. With 40 years of experience in developing warm and functional winter jackets that expertly cope with harsh Scandinavian conditions, the company offers a variety of tips and products to make winter a time to enjoy rather than endure.
Fjällräven’s tips for making friends with winter include:
- Wear layers: Wear plenty of layers so that you can add or remove them depending on your activity level and the weather. When in harsh weather conditions, they recommend wearing at least three layers. A base layer to wick away moisture, a mid-layer to provide insulation and an outer layer that is waterproof and windproof.
- Stay dry: Your body can quickly lose heat if it gets wet. This is why staying dry and protected from the elements should be a primary concern. Wear waterproof outerwear to keep water out.
- Keep hydrated: You might not feel as thirsty while out in the cold, but your body still needs to stay hydrated. Bring along a generously-sized water bottle or a backpack with a water bladder to make sure you stay hydrated.
- Add some fun: Make your winter adventure a bit more enjoyable by bringing along some ‘lull-lull’ (A Swedish term for anything that upgrades the experience). Treat yourself to a thermos of hot chocolate while you’re out on a winter hike or bring some marshmallows to toast around a campfire.
