FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this jacket?

Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket offers water-repellent properties, meaning it can withstand light rain for a short period. It is not a fully waterproof jacket designed for heavy downpours.
What kind of temperatures is this jacket suitable for?

How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Fjällräven. This specific guide is for size Large (L).
Can this jacket be worn by women?
While listed with a male gender attribute, the design is generally unisex and can be worn by individuals of any gender. Fit may vary.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat.
What does 'Vardag' mean?
'Vardag' is a Swedish word that translates to 'everyday' or 'weekday', reflecting the jacket's intended use for daily activities.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softener. A low-heat tumble dry can help restore suppleness.
Water repellency seems reduced.
The water-repellent finish may need refreshing. Clean the jacket and apply a suitable PFC-free impregnation spray, following the spray manufacturer's instructions.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free the fabric. If the zipper is clean, apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the teeth.
