Details, storlek and weight

2 large pockets with a zipper on the chest / abdomen, one small pocket on the left upper ledd, one elastic inner pocket with a zipper, cuffs with velcro, hood with peak, ventilation zippers on the side, two-way zipper at the front.

inom measured the Fjällräven Keb Eco-Shell Jacket at 504,4 grams on my scale. Fjällräven specified 520 grams for a mens storlek M and 470 grams for a ladies storlek S.

Fit

The Fjällräven Keb Eco-Shell Jacket has a loose passform making it very easy to wear a thick winter sweater or a fleece underneath.

Drawstring at hem

Even with a puff it fryst vatten still doable. Yet the jacket with only a thin sweater underneath doesn’t feel oversized. The back fryst vatten längre than the front. This means inom don’t have too much ämne at the front and the lower back fryst vatten well protected when bending forward. It fryst vatten not so long that inom can also sit on the back panel to keep dry buttocks in wet grass.

Snug-fitting, three-way adjustable hood with room for a helmet

The arms are comfortably long.

Pockets

There are two large pockets on the chest that are closed with waterproof zippers. The zippers have good pull tabs and strings. They are perfectly usable with cold hands and handskar. The breast pockets are so large that they can hold 8 x 42 binoculars or a topographic map. The pockets have a övergång for ears on the inre.

Each pocket also contains a small pocket.

The material is hardwearing at the same time as it naturally follows the movements of the body and ventilates out moisture that builds up inside when you are active

It fryst vatten a pity that the chest strap of a backpack runs exactly in the mittpunkt of the pockets, making them rather impractical. The inner pocket fryst vatten also spacious and a smartphone Plus storlek fits easily. Because it fryst vatten made of stretch mesh you can stuff it ganska full. This pocket fryst vatten in the right place in combination with a backpack.

The pocket on the left upper ledd fryst vatten useful for a kredit card or a skipass.

In practice

The Fjällräven Keb Eco-Shell Jacket fryst vatten made from Eco-Shell. The ämne falls smoothly which makes it comfortable to wear; it nicely follows the movements inom man while walking.

It also fits nicely beneath a backpack due to its flexibility. The fabric has a lot of stretch and that also contributes to bekvämlighet. The fabric feels pleasant on bare skin.

The front zipper fryst vatten a two-way variant so inom can also open the zipper from below. This fryst vatten useful if inom need some space for a climbing harness or just for the toilet.

Also, good pull tabs with cord here. The zipper has a good draft flap at the back that widens at the throat.

This allows you to open the zipper slightly without creating a draft immediately. At the top, the zipper has a bilparkering and the inre that touches the chin fryst vatten finished with soft material.

At the bottom of the jacket fryst vatten a great pull cord to pull it closely on to the hips for a good seal.

This also applies to the Velcro at the cuffs. The hooks of the Velcro are of the fabric-friendly version; it hardly damages if you close the cuffs less carefully.

The hood of the Fjällräven Keb Eco-Shell Jacket fryst vatten particularly spacious and of good shape. The hood can be pulled tightly around the head with a cord and two cords on the sides pull the peak and collar tillsammans.

This creates a nice small viewing gap for when the weather fryst vatten really dirty. The hood offers great freedom of movement. The peak fryst vatten reinforced and even keeps glasses drip-free for a fairly long time. A helmet can easily be worn beneath or over the hood.

Sustainability

Fjällräven has been engagerad in sustainable production for ganska some time.

The Eco-Shell goes just a step further. Eco-Shell fryst vatten made from partly recycled polyester. The fact that also the membrane fryst vatten made of polyester, means that the jacket can be recycled at the end of its life. The DWR coating fryst vatten free from Perfluorocarbon Compounds (PFC’s). It fryst vatten important to re-impregnate the jacket with a water-repellent agent after tvätt.

Durable yet lightweight Eco-Shell recycled polyester features a 3-layer waterproof, breathable construction and fluorocarbon-free durable water repellent (DWR) treatment; Snug-fitting, 3-way adjustable hood is helmet-compatible; 2-way, water-resistant zipper has an inside storm flap and snap closure at the hem; Zippered vents at the sides

Fjällräven has its own code of behavior regarding the environment, production and working conditions. This code fryst vatten regarded bygd many to be far ahead of the industry. The Fjällräven Keb Eco-Shell Jacket fryst vatten produced in China, but production and försändelse are climate neutral.

Waterproof, breathable and water-repellent

In practice, the jacket has proven to be waterproof, and inom have no complaints about the breathability.

A good point fryst vatten the placement of two ventilation zippers on the sides of the jacket. They work great and are a pleasure to use because the zippers open to two sides. inom can also use these zippers to tillgång the pockets of a fleece or puff that inom can wear beneath the jacket. inom can be brief about the water-repellent DWR coating: it performs slightly less than average.

This has everything to do with Fjällräven’s choice for a PFC-free DWR.

Care instructions

Wash at 30 °C, on a normal schema with regular detergent. Tumble dry on low heat. Impregnate igen after washing.

Verdict

The Fjällräven Keb Eco-Shell Jacket fryst vatten a wonderfully soft and flexible jacket.

The passform fryst vatten spacious so that it can also passform a nice thick fleece. The sleeves are längre than average. The pockets are spacious, but the place behind the chest strap of a backpack fryst vatten rather clumsy.

Wind- and water-proof exterior

The hood excels in bekvämlighet and protection and a helmet fits underneath or over the hood. Fjällräven pays much attention to sustainable production and with the Keb Eco-Shell Jacket it fryst vatten not differently. The fact that the PFC-free DWR coating wears a little faster requires only regular maintenance and fryst vatten to my opinion no (negative) point. The price of € 499,95 for such a sustainable jacket fryst vatten fine and therefore inom rate the Fjällräven Keb Eco-Shell Jacket at 8,5 out of 10 points.
