Received my jacket yesterday and put it immediately to use in mixed weather for a short walk with the dog. I stayed dry and was surprised at how windproof it is too. I bought this as a replacement to my 5 year old Orkan that has lasted well and retained good performance but now has repairs on top of repairs. I feel like the Forsvar, fit wise at least is a carbon copy of the Orkan. I’ve used my Orkan as a heavy weather cycling jacket, as the hood goes over a helmet and the sleeves (they are slightly long) work well in a cycling position and I will use the Forsvar for the same primary purpose. The Forsvar fits the same, hood works the same over my bike helmet, only the fabric is different, being a bit crunchier than the fabric of he Orkan. I can’t speak to the eco credentials of the fabric, I bought it because it seemed a better deal than the Orkan at the time, and I’m very happy with the jacket and it’s performance, especially given the price paid (half price at point of purchase). Would I have bought at full price? No. I’d have bought a lesser quality jacket for the same money, but this is (IMO) excellent quality at the price point I paid.
Thank you for the review, Matthew!
We're glad to hear you find the Forsvar to be a solid replacement for your Orkan and that it is performing well for cycling too.

Got this jacket two weeks ago and was the first time out on Sunday in the Lake District doing Coledale horseshoe great coat fitting was great on body but arms just a bit to long but ok as it kept the hands loads of pockets and great colour.
Thank you for the awesome review, Stuart! We are happy to hear that you're pleased with the jacket. The photo you've shared looks amazing, and it's great to see blue skies in the Lakes during October. Thank you for choosing our Forsvar jacket, and our Hagna trousers! We hope they continue to accompany you on many more exciting hikes.
Best wishes,

Nearly everything you want from a jacket - my only issues are the internal storm flap getting caught in the zip quite often jamming it up - and the lack of an internal hanging loop.
Thank you for your review, Joseph. We're happy to hear you find our Forsvar great for the most part.
Regarding the internal storm flap issue you mentioned, we'll certainly take that feedback into account for future improvements. As for the internal hanging loop, this specific jacket has an external hanging loop, located on the back of the neck seam. Most of our range does have internal hanging loops. Sorry that this one doesn't quite meet your requirements.
If you have any more questions or suggestions, please feel free to reach out. We value your input.
Kind regards,

I tried on the jacket and it has very long sleeves and is disproportionate to the body. I'm evaluating
