Just wondering if anyone knows much about this brand ? Seems like they're an old skool outerwear brand from sweden. Anyway i like this jacket for summer :

yes, its an old outdoors brand, some 30+ years I belive. Their backpack "kånken" is apparently the most sold backpack ever

great quality, but most of the new stuff is too "tech" for me. the name translates roughly to "mountain fox" btw.

Thanks Superbobo

. You seem to know a bit about the brand so when you say its a bit "tech" could you elaborate ?

 

[Superb0bo]

well, thats just a matter of taste I guess. They new stuff is more made of hi -tech materials like north face or something, while the vintage is cotton canvas which I prefer.

I see. Is the jacket i pictured vintage or hi-tech ?

SuperBobo is right, Fjallraven is an old Swedish outdoor brand. They do both more traditional jackets in their own G1000-fabric, which means 65% cotton and 35% polyester (if I remember correctly, though it might be the other way around...), and jackets in Gore-Tex and that kind of stuff. The one pictured above is probably G1000.

Quality is great, my dad bought one of their jackets back in the 70's and I'm wearing it still today.

Hope I didn't sound too much like a salesman...
