Review: Fjällräven Expedition Down Jacket (2020) — Coatchecking

12 Oct.,2023

 

Fjällräven’s flagship featherbed defines excess. Impractically big, stupendously warm, there is no reason to own this jacket anywhere that has nighttime in summer. Fuck “scary cold.” The Expedition Down and a simple fleece hoodie made a mile walk through 5° F feel comfortable. It also came off the second I stepped inside. In New York, it is overkill. In Toronto, it earns keep. On an arctic expedition, perhaps, it would feel right at home.

Long ago, Fjäll recognized the pure heat from this fusion bomb and so, released a lighter version with around 35% less feathers. Named the Expedition Down Lite (how earnest and Protestant!), this jacket – and not the one being reviewed – is the best fit for most. It’s also $200 less. In this economy, that’s quite the cherry on top.

But that’s not why we’re here.

This bloated big man – this insensible elephant – is a silly, silly thing. Essentially, it’s a sleeping bag with arm holes at almost twice the weight. At 6’4”, my size Medium has room to move. There’s even a pamphlet in the pocket explaining that all those geese were treated ethically. Wildly impractical yet too big to fail, the Expedition Down is a functional garment too functioned to function.
