FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The Sten Jacket is designed for weather resistance in outdoor conditions, but it is not classified as fully waterproof, meaning it will protect against light showers but not heavy, prolonged rain.
What is the best way to clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30-40°C using mild detergent, and skip the fabric softener.
Can I wear this in winter?
It serves well as part of a layering system, though you should pair it with an insulating base and mid-layer for cold-weather activities.
Does it have an adjustable hood?
The Sten Jacket features a thoughtfully designed hood meant to provide coverage without obstructing your peripheral vision during activity.
Is the sizing consistent?
The jacket follows standard Fjällräven sizing for an active, ergonomic fit; refer to the sizing guide for the best match for your measurements.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the fabric
The DWR coating may have worn off; wash the jacket and re-apply a professional-grade DWR spray.
Stiff zippers
Clear any debris or grit from the zipper tracks using a soft brush, and apply a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Fjällräven Sten Jacket, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the material's performance.
- Drying: Hang dry or tumble dry on a low, gentle heat setting to prevent fiber damage.
- Weatherproofing: Periodically re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if you notice water no longer beads off the surface of the fabric.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.
