Fjallraven  Abisko Trail Fleece Jacket - Women's

I got this for when my mid-weight is too warm for active adventures or to double up for extra warmth. It slimming and flattering. The hood fits great without extra flimsyness and even has a pony tail hole. The one downside is that it's very uncomfortable to zip the neck up all the way. Either the neck hole is too narrow or set too far back (I don't have very bad forward posture or anything like that). When zipped up the zipper curves inward towards your neck and feels like it's choking you a bit. If that weren't the case this would be 5/5 and because I liked everything else I kept it.

I spent quite a bit of time researching this type of jacket before purchasing. I love the color (patina green), fit and function (has both hand and chest pockets, lightweight mid layer that looks great on its own or can be layered). I was very happy with it the first week, then I noticed a snag that had developed into a small hole near one of the hand pockets. I chose to exchange it for another in hopes that it was fluke and the material wasn't so fragile. Unfortunately, that was not the case. After less than a month of casual wear there are pulls and snags on the back, arms and front lower half of the jacket. All of these will eventually turn into holes if pulled out or cut. I wanted to love this jacket, but its lack of durability with less than a month of easy wear is not acceptable and it will have to be returned for the second and final time.

I bought this jacket for a recent trip to SoCal and I love it! I wore this throughout the day and into the evenings as the temperature got cooler and it kept me warm. I loved the zipper pockets too as it came in handy during our hikes. I'm 5'3 130lbs athletic build and a medium fit great with room for layering. I also love the brown leather detailing.

Seems like a nicely made jacket, but material is much thinner than expected. I got an XL and it fit more like a L, sleeves were tight in the upper arms and when zipped up the material shows all the bulges. Unflattering and felt like a squished sausage. Probably great if you are super slim and fit, not for bigger bodies.

Sigh... add Fjallraven to the list of outfitters that don't believe women hikers have curves. Would have been a nice lightweight layer if it didn't feel like I was zipped into a sausage casing. Beautiful color, fabric felt nice. Note that the measurements listed are not accurate (at least for XL) and this runs quite small. I'm typically an L, ordered XL due to the measurements listed, and it was still too tight. Will be returning.

This jacket looks and feel beautiful - I ordered the blue color. I think it mostly fit true to size - I bought a medium and the sleeves were long enough for my monkey arms. I'm 145lb, 5'8. The jacket's downfall is its hood - it's too short. With the hood on and the jacket fully zipped, it pulls hard on the top of my head, enough to make my neck hurt. I have a small head and an average length neck. I tried it with my hair down, my hair in a ponytail through the ponytail hole, didn't matter. Either the hood wasn't measured properly or this is intended for quite petite women.

Sloppy checkout & customer service

I LOVE this jacket! It's perfect for spring hikes and that "in between" weather from day to night where it gets chilly.

Great, light weight but warm layer for Fall. Wore on a very windy hike and was the perfect choice. Love the green color.

This jacket is lightweight, flattering and the perfect fit.
