Fjällräven - Keb Padded Hoodie - Synthetisch jack in de test

Others have said the fit is a bit loose and the insulation is thin. I think they are missing the intention here. The Keb series is for active use. Hiking, biking, chopping wood and other physical activity . This works really well as another layer of insulation and wind-blocker. Also nice to have for city travel as a just-in-case. It packs down small and can make a huge difference if the weather changes unexpectedly.

I am 176cm and 75kg, athletic. Size M is perfect. I also tried going down to size S. The S stopped just below the waist and was tight in the shoulders with a hoodie under it. The M covers more of the hips and has a bit of space for layering. In cold weather I have 2 or 3 layers under it, and still freedom of movement.

The main advantage of Fjallraven are their hoods. Like their other jackets, the hood and neck on this jacket fit perfectly... this one very close to the skin but not restrictive. The neck is nice and high. I can be in the mountainbike ride position and keep the chin tucked inside without strain. There's a draw string behind the hood to keep the rim held back, preserving peripheral vision and closing gaps. And the zipper is 2-way for venting.

It's built a littler better than it needs to be, while staying out of the way.
