Fjallraven  Abisko Grid Fleece Hoodie - Men's

Bought as an alternative to my R1 and R2, as it keeps me a bit warmer on a cold breazy day without the bulk of a R2 Techface. The Caveat is that the fabric does tend to hold sweat odors more than other brands that use a treatment in their fabrics. I find that I have to launder it more often, as a simple airing out doesn't do the trick like with the Patagonia R fabrics. For those who complain about the zippers, all European brands have "reversed" zippers (no such thing as male/female zippers in Europe). You get used to it very quickly if you own the premier European brands (Mammut, Norrona, Fjallraven, Mountain Equipment, RAB, etc).

I love the material and the color, but there is an issue with this hoodie that perpetually messes with me head: the zipper is on the wrong side. On Men’s clothing the moving part of the zipper (i.e. the slide/pull-tab/etc) is always on the right side, similar to how men’s dress shirts put buttons are on the right side. Well, on this hoodie the zipper is on the left. I know it shouldn’t matter. I know this is a first world problem. But it really bugs me and I likely would not have purchased had I known. please overlook that.

I bought this hoodie and will keep it, but I have one tiny issue. This hoodie was sold as “mens” and men’s clothing typically has the traveling part of the zipper on the tight side . This one is reversed. Put another way, the zipper was sewn on backwards. Should it make a difference? No. However, one just just used to right-hand zipper after a lifetime thereof.

Currently own three of these in different color ways. Amazing quality. Keeps you warm yet breathable. Medium is a perfect fit. Looks great for both casual and formal attire. Very versatile and comfortable. I love grid fleece hoodies and own more than I should admit from different companies but the Abisko Grid Fleece easily stands out from the rest. 5/5. Would absolutely recommend.

I bought one of these for myself and one for my brother in law. I love it! It fits great (not snug and not loose). Looks great and not bulky like many other hoodies. Has a special meaning for me as I am Swedish and remember the brand from my childhood. Thank you Fjällräven!

This fleece has been my favorite go to mid-layer. It's comfortable and warm but breathes well and seems to dry quickly. I have this Jacket since December 23 and it's holding up great. Buy with confidence.

I have been looking for something like this for a time - something I can wear as a layer in the Arctic while also walking the dogs in Pennsylvania or in the early mornings of Africa. LOVE IT

I really like this jacket, but the main zipper is really annoying. The other zippers are awesome and the jacket but the main one only works if you line it up with the bottom zipper.

This hoodie is a shapeless mess in comparison to the previous Abisko hoodie. The black already looks faded in the first few weeks. I plan to return it.

By far the best grid style mid-layer fleece on the market! Fits true to size. A must add to your outdoor kit.
