Great comprehensive review with some very useful B-roll of the jackets on the actual body too. Perfectly done, thank you. Fjallraven wins this one for me.
The cord on the pocket on Fjällraven is meant for suorinta the jacket. You can Filip that posket out and push the while jacket inside of that posket. The cord loop will stay out and you can hook it up to you backbag etc.
I just bought the Fjallraven expedition pack down hoodie at REI. I wanted the RAB mythic G with 1000 fill down but they didn’t have them in stock. Are you going to review the RAB mythic G. I would buy that one also if it had a good review. You did a great video review. Keep up the great work.
Which of the two has more durable outer fabric? I hate puffer jackets with paper thin outer fabric... Any other jackets with thick and durable outer material? Thanks for the review.
Wondering if you can tell me what the inside of the pockets are lined with? Same material as the outside of the jacket or is it some sort of micro fleece like is around the collar? (I personally despise that micro fiber fleece fabric like is used around the collar, it seems to be very "catchy" on my rough hands or in a beard)
I would have liked the fjallraven vs rab infinity microlight i think they're more comparable, nonetheless good job on this comparison video gave me a lot of info btw these 2 jackets but if i have to choose i would go for the Fjallraven. Thanks. 👍
HEI, HEI! Имею Fjällräven pack down точно в таком цвете Deep Forest.. что я могу о ней сказать, у меня не очень хорошее мнение о ней... Когда ее носить.. То в ней жарко, то холодно. Для какой температуры она предназначена.. Fjällräven умалчивают об этом...
Yet no comment that the zippers are the opposite of the North American men's standard. Why no comment, because you don't want to make either company angry? Both great jackets but the opposite zipper is a deal breaker.
and what!!!?? The eu zipper is standard and works perfectly. You don't know wtf you are talking about,!! Crack on if you are not happy nobody cares less about your opinion
@@Oculus729Of course, the rest of the world is bigger than the USA. And if a zipper being ‘the wrong way round’ is your biggest issue, you have a good life
@@AndrewHillis-k9l The amount of loft that the down is providing is a good factor in determining how warm a down jacket will be. To determine the amount of loft you would use the calculation of Fill Power (FP) x Fill Weight. Fill Power is the quality of down, and Fill Weight is how much of that down is being used in the jacket. 800FP means that one ounce of that down will provide 800 cubic inches of loft. Loft (or puffiness) is what's really providing the insulation factor. The Rab Electron Pro is 800fp x 6.7oz of down = 5,360 cubic inches of loft. The Fjallraven Expedition Packdown Hoodie is 700fp x 3.88oz = 2,716 cubic inches of loft. The Rab jacket has better quality down, and more of it, which will provide more loft (or "puffiness"). I also think the temperature ranges Backcountry Renegage provided were fairly conservative, but that's a personal thing as he may run hotter/colder than you or I. From personal experience, wearing a Montbell Light Down Jacket (800fp x 4oz) I am good to -15c with a tshirt + lightweight layering piece, while walking at a leisurely pace. If you are looking for a jacket guaranteed to keep you warm at -15c while just standing still, you may want to look for something even warmer. Aim for a down jacket with box baffled/boxwall construction, like the Rab Positron Pro (800fp x 10.6ox).

Fantastic review... I like the fjallraven... Just looks better plus its not as common...
Great comprehensive review with some very useful B-roll of the jackets on the actual body too. Perfectly done, thank you. Fjallraven wins this one for me.
thanks, glad it was helpful. Yes I do enjoy the Fjallraven and want to try more jackets by them
The cord on the pocket on Fjällraven is meant for suorinta the jacket. You can Filip that posket out and push the while jacket inside of that posket. The cord loop will stay out and you can hook it up to you backbag etc.
Nice thanks for the info
Excellent, well made review!
I prefer the Fjallraven as the front of the hood comes high up the face, thus it gives more protection from the wind chill.
yes it does have better face protection
I just bought the Fjallraven expedition pack down hoodie at REI. I wanted the RAB mythic G with 1000 fill down but they didn’t have them in stock. Are you going to review the RAB mythic G. I would buy that one also if it had a good review. You did a great video review. Keep up the great work.
thanks. ill see if i can get a hold of one and review it
the fjallraven down hoodie now has dual zippers. Saw it at REI today.
He’s reviewing the old model, that’s why he saw it on sale
Which of the two has more durable outer fabric? I hate puffer jackets with paper thin outer fabric... Any other jackets with thick and durable outer material? Thanks for the review.
Rab
Is better in these 2 comparison

Pack down hoodie's pocket material is the same as the exterior.

Thanks for the suggestion, maybe a future vid ill get done
It was an odd battle as both are totally different for different use cases

Which would you say is longer in the back? Also how does the length of the two compare to the Rab Microlight?
Hi, thanks for the video, what is the size of the jackets?
these are both men's small
@@BackcountryRenegadeI have found EU and British companies clothing sizes have an athletic fitment compared to US
What size do you wear?
men's small
is old model Fjällräven down hoddy no two zippers at main zipper
Great review. Would you say that the Electron Pro is warmer than Patagonia down sweater hoody?
Much warmer
I love my Fjällräven clothes 🇫🇮
They are great I need to test and review more of them
You’re talking about Fjallraven as if it’s a new company. Does not say a lot about your expertise
@@crisdus someone is full of assumptions. I said it’s becoming more popular here. No where did I say it is a new company.
They're in different classes. Pointless comparison
haha wrong, that's why we compare to show the difference.
Yet no comment that the zippers are the opposite of the North American men's standard. Why no comment, because you don't want to make either company angry? Both great jackets but the opposite zipper is a deal breaker.
these are European made, so they are standard eu zippers
What do you mean opposite zipper? I'm from the US and fjallraven is on my list
@@electropentatonic the zipper pull is on the left side of the zipper. Not on the right side so it is opposite of the USA standard
and what!!!?? The eu zipper is standard and works perfectly. You don't know wtf you are talking about,!! Crack on if you are not happy nobody cares less about your opinion

You can NEVER compare that jacket with fjällräven. What a f is electron pro 😂
The Electron pro is a better jacket through
Which one is warmer for standing around.. I need something for temps that range from -5 to -15 C
