Lightweight, hardwearing jacket for the discerning hunter who is looking for highly functional equipment for active hunting days. Designed so that you can move quickly and freely over large distances. Its “DNA” has been taken from the award-winning Keb Jacket, with wind and water resistant G-1000 Silent Eco in recycled polyester and organic cotton on the front, shoulders and lower sleeves, while the back, upper sleeves and pockets are made from stretch fabric. This gives a quiet, lightweight and very pliant jacket with excellent breathability.
A number of well-thought-through features make it easier for you to focus on the hunt and your surroundings. One example is the easily accessed sleeve pocket with ammunition holders on the left sleeve, and the attachment for a communication radio on the left shoulder. Additional ammunition can be stored in a pair of large, flat pockets with flaps at the lower front. There are also two spacious vertical chest pockets, both with zippers and one with an inside pocket in mesh for a radio or mobile phone. The zippered openings at the sides release excess heat and the front zipper is two way so it can be opened from both ends for ventilation. A well fitting, adjustable hood provides perfect protection against cold winds but can be zipped off when it is not in use. Drawcord adjustments at the hem and Velcro adjustments at the sleeve cuffs.

Overall, I like the jacket, the color I liked over the regular outdoor colors they have at Fjällräven, I just don't like the back. I didn't think it would be such a deal breaker, but it just sets the jacket in an odd place. It's great if you are sweating a lot and needing the breathability specifically on your back, but outside of that it just makes the jacket colder then it needs to be and completely useless in a rain storm. Everything else can be made water proof with greenland wax, but this back panel won't hold. Eventually I'll probably just swap it with some patch of cloth that can, so it's not a total waste, but for this price it's not great. Other features are really nice, I like the shoulder radio/flashlight loop. The undeershirt pocket/venting zips are great for winter use, where you might have a jacket underneath that has pockets too. I like the dampened button snaps. The extra bullet silos, are great for holding tools while camping, so useful outside of storing ammo. So a great jacket, just be sure of that back stretchy mesh panel before you commit.
