FAQs
Is the Fjällräven Sten Jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant. It provides excellent protection against light rain and wind, but it is not a fully seam-sealed waterproof rain jacket.
Can I wear this jacket in winter?
It serves as an excellent outer shell. If you live in a cold climate, you should layer it with a fleece or wool sweater underneath for warmth.
How should I clean my jacket?
Wash it on a gentle cycle with mild detergent in cold water, and always hang it to dry.
What is the sizing like?
The jacket generally follows standard European sizing. If you plan to layer thick sweaters underneath, you might consider sizing up.
Is this jacket suitable for hiking?
Yes, it is specifically designed for an active outdoor life, offering enough mobility for hiking and trekking.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric instead of beading off
The protective wax layer has likely worn down. Re-apply Greenland Wax to the outer shell and heat it slightly with an iron or hair dryer to seal it.
Jacket feels less breathable than usual
Ensure the fabric is clean. Dirt and oils can clog the pores of the material. A standard wash following the care label instructions will usually restore performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a garment, the Sten Jacket requires minimal setup but benefits significantly from proper care. To maintain its weather-resistant properties, the fabric should be periodically treated with Greenland Wax, which allows you to customize the level of water and wind protection by applying more wax to areas exposed to the most rain. For cleaning, follow the care label instructions: typically, a gentle machine wash in cold water is recommended. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical performance of the fibers. Always hang dry the jacket in a well-ventilated area to maintain its shape and structural integrity.
