Fjällräven Sten Jacket - Blue

The Sten Jacket is made from G-1000 fabric, which is highly wind-resistant and can be made water-resistant by applying Fjällräven Greenland Wax. Without waxing, it offers good protection against light rain, but it is not fully waterproof in heavy downpours.

To apply Greenland Wax, rub a thin, even layer of the wax onto the G-1000 fabric. Then, use an iron (on low to medium heat without steam) or a hairdryer to gently melt the wax into the fabric until it becomes evenly absorbed. Repeat this process for areas requiring more protection.

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 40°C. Remember to close all zippers and fasteners, and avoid using bleach or fabric softener. Air dry the jacket and do not tumble dry.

Fjällräven often uses small details made from leather in their products, such as logo badges or zipper pulls. These are considered non-textile parts of animal origin. Info needed: [Specific location of non-textile animal parts on this model].

The Sten Jacket is an uninsulated shell designed for versatility and light outdoor use. It is not specifically designed for very cold winter weather. For colder conditions, it is best used as an outer layer in combination with insulating mid-layers.

Store the jacket in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area, preferably hung on a hanger, to maintain its shape and fabric integrity. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

The G-1000 fabric is designed to be waxable for optimal water and wind resistance. Your jacket likely needs a fresh application of Fjällräven Greenland Wax to restore or enhance its protective properties. Ensure the wax is thoroughly melted into the fabric.

G-1000 fabric can become slightly stiffer after washing, especially if wax has been removed. This is normal and will soften with wear. Re-waxing can also help restore some suppleness while improving weather resistance.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper. If clear, clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and apply a specialized zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil to ease movement. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Utilize the adjustable drawstring at the hem and the buttoned cuffs to customize the fit. Ensure you selected the correct size based on Fjällräven's sizing guide. The pre-shaped sleeves are designed for mobility, not necessarily a tight fit.
