DESCRIPTION
Fjllrven's Greenland Jacket, an outdoor classic from 1968 that was developed in collaboration with members from the 1966 Greenland expedition. The original was made of tent material that was too heavy for lightweight tents. The result was an extremely durable jacket that was much appreciated by mountaineers. It didn't take long for it to gain popularity for general use in forests and fields where it demonstrated rare durability.
Today, many of the earlier versions have been passed to younger generations. Made of hardwearingand adaptable G-1000 fabric, it has extra reinforcement over the shoulders and yoke. Two-way zipper with poppersin the front and at the sleeve cuffs. Spacious chest andhip pockets for all your gear - the hip pockets are exactly the right size for a sandwich! Hand warmer pockets hidden behind the hip pockets. Secure inside pocket with zip. Snugly fitting hood.
