When To Wear It
As mentioned above, this jacket’s original design was intended for it to be worn in outdoor activities. It is a down jacket and comes in a combination of cotton and polyester, which we will detail in the other paragraph. The purpose of this jacket is to keep you warm and dry and it being a Swedish jacket says quite a bit about the kind of weather it can withstand.
It is very suitable to be worn during most mountain activities, such as hiking and camping, since it’s a very durable jacket, with waterproof and wind resistance qualities.
The reviewer in the video below wore it in -24° Celsius, and it fared pretty well, allowing him to remain warm despite the low temperatures.

However, something that needs to be mentioned, is the lack of hand pockets. There are breast pockets, for carrying small items such as phones, music players, keys and wallet, and also an oversized inner pocket, but no traditional side pockets.
This jacket closes up with a zipper and buttons, so it has a double protected closure, for insulation, which is also aided by the high collar, and oversized hoodie.
When taking a look at the style alone, this jacket gives the impression of an oversized casual shirt. This is important, because it allows the user to wear it in casual occasions and even daily, thus eliminating the need for purchasing several jackets.
