Fjallraven
You can see that philosophy stitched into everything they make. The G-1000 fabric used across the Vidda Pro trousers and Fjallraven jackets like the Vardag is treated with wax, not chemicals, so you can adjust its weatherproofing yourself with a bar of Greenland Wax, depending on the day; an unusually honest bit of engineering that trusts the wearer to know their own conditions. Then there's the Kånken backpack, practically a cultural icon in its own right. Designed in 1978 to stop Swedish schoolchildren getting back problems, it wasn't built to look good. It just does, because good design usually does.
The rest of the range carries that same quiet confidence. The Abisko collection, with jackets fleeces, shirts, and shorts, is built for movement through changeable weather, while the Keb jacket and trousers step things up for proper hillwalking. The Bergtagen jacket brings a more technical edge for tougher days out, and it's proof that a Fjällräven jacket doesn't have to choose between looking understated and performing when it matters.
For carrying kit, the Skule daypacks and the Kajka are another dependable Fjällräven backpack option built to last for years, and the Färden duffel takes care of longer trips. Layer in the Övik flannel shirts, the High Coast shoulder bag, another compact Fjällräven bag worth knowing about, or a 1960 Logo Badge sweater, and you've got a wardrobe that works as hard on a Tuesday commute as it does on a Highland trail.
If you're drawn to muted colours, honest materials, and the idea that slow is a valid speed, you're in the right place.
Fjällräven is best known for producing durable, functional, and sustainably made outdoor clothing and equipment - particularly the iconic Kånken backpack and technical garments made from G-1000 fabric.
G-1000 is Fjällräven’s signature material - a blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton. It’s densely woven to offer durability, wind resistance, and breathability and can be waxed with Greenland Wax for extra water repellency.
Water resistance is achieved by applying Greenland Wax to G-1000 fabrics. The wax can be reapplied or washed out, letting you adapt protection and breathability depending on the weather.
Vinylon F is a unique synthetic fibre that swells when damp, tightening the weave to repel rain naturally - no coating required. It’s light, strong, and resistant to rain and abrasion, making it ideal for everyday and travel use.
While G-1000 and Vinylon F fabrics are water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof. For complete protection, Fjällräven’s Hydratic and Bergshell systems provide waterproof, breathable layering using advanced coatings and laminates.
Fjällräven employs recycled polyester, organic cotton, recycled wool, hemp, and Tencel® across its product range, with a commitment to PFAS- and PVC-free production processes.
Bergshell is an in-house waterproof material made with 31% recycled nylon and a white TPU laminate rated to 10,000 mm. It delivers excellent tear strength, abrasion resistance, and environmental responsibility.
Yes. Since 2012, Fjällräven has completely eliminated fluorocarbons (PFAS) from its waterproof coatings and continues to lead in safe, eco-friendly garment impregnation.
