Quality anorak for sure that has lasted me for a long time. Even so mine has shown no signs of wearing away. In the long run, my expensive anorak has become a great value !

One thing you might’ve mentioned is just how comfortable the anorak becomes as you wear it 👍
Great review

Nice video. I love my anoraks. I have the Vardag and the No 8. I live in Alaska and use it as the most outer layer in windy conditions. I found I bought 1 size bigger to fit my arctic parka with out being too tight.

[BitterrootRambler]

I have this jacket and if you’re looking for an excellent insulating layer I highly suggest the Stone Glacier Zenith hooded fleece jacket. The cut matches the Anorak really well. Like they were made for each-other.

[manicminer]

I have one myself, absolutely stunning quality

[liamnicholls]

I just got the tarmac version of this in medium. Ive wanted it for such a long time but figured there’s no point waiting for the right time because inflation will only drive the price up. It will cost me just as much in the future and there’s no way I’m not going to have one. Cant wait!

[chrisandrews]

Great review guys. Love your accents.

Great review 😊 A very beautiful and high-quality anarok. Fjällräven is one of my favorite brands, unfortunately this no.8 anarok is very expensive at €500 in the Netherlands. I think I'm going to order one in the color 625 green. 620 green is the perfect collor green imo😊

[kjeldtmc]

The anorak is on my bucket list for sure. I have another question though: your white dog, what kind of dog is it? Its really cute 😁

[maagista]

Great review! Could you please do a video of Lapland friluft 45 backpack?

Recently bought a second hand one in olive colour in mint condition. Proofed the anorak in Nikwax cotton proofer and hood, shoulders and arms with Greenland wax, people must realise that the anorak isn’t waterproof as in heavy rain the seams will leak best in cold dry conditions. 🤔👍

[harrywren]

A really excellent anorak I love it, but the FjallRaven wax is BS. You absolutely need to get the Barbour wax to impregnated it.

[jean-pierrewuestenberghs]

"I like the brown one. It seems to have signs of wear, or is that from waxing?"

[absolu]

Are you pairing this with a poncho for rain?

[Tany-mrtx]

Hi, I am wondering what is the size of this anorak you taking? Did you going down a size from your usual other fjallraven clothes please? I'm considering purchasing one, but the size stumps me. Thanks for any help.

[blackdog]

Can I ask what colours you are both wearing. One looks to be blue but the other looks to be cross between green and distressed leather. Or is this the appearance after applying Greenland wax?

[richardhutchinson]

Buy once, cry once. Buy the highest quality ypu can afford.

[france]

What is the price for the no.8 in Sweden?

[krismichalak]

Just ordered one for myself, can’t wait to try on and test it out during some British rainfall 😂
Great review guys you helped me out with this one 💪🏻👍🏻
Thanks 😊

[grahampovey]

Far too expensive. Varusteleka have sensibly priced alternatives!

[androna]

Fjallraven fa productes excel·lents. Però pel preu d'aquest smock no.8, per què no anar a per Ventile? Gairebé igual de resistent que el G-1000, més silenciós, més còmode i, sobretot, més resistent a l'aigua. Les peces de roba Ventile double layer són a prop de la impermeabilitat absoluta.
