FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
The Vardag Vindby Jacket is ideal for transitional seasons (spring, autumn) and cooler summer evenings. It offers good wind resistance and protection against light moisture, but is not designed for heavy rain or extreme cold.
How do I determine if the 'L' size is right for me?
Refer to the Fjällräven size chart for men's jackets. Generally, a size Large is suitable for individuals with a chest circumference typically between 104-112 cm (41-44 inches) and a waist of 90-98 cm (35-38 inches), but always check the specific measurements provided.
Can I wear this jacket in the rain?
The jacket has a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which provides protection against light rain or drizzle. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
What makes the materials 'sustainable'?
Fjällräven emphasizes the use of environmentally friendly materials. This often includes recycled fabrics, organic cotton, or materials sourced with ethical and sustainable practices in mind, aiming to minimize environmental impact.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
Store the jacket in a clean, dry place. Avoid compressing it tightly for long periods, as this can affect the fabric's loft and performance. Hanging it is generally recommended.
Is this jacket insulated?
The Vardag Vindby Jacket is not heavily insulated. It is designed as a lightweight shell, best suited for layering over warmer clothing in cooler temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Jacket material feels stiff after washing.
This can sometimes occur with sustainable fabrics. Ensure you used a mild detergent and avoided fabric softener. Try gently stretching the fabric or air drying it in a slightly humid environment. For some treatments, a gentle re-impregnation might help restore suppleness.
Reduced water repellency.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may have worn off over time. Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply a PFC-free impregnation spray suitable for outdoor textiles. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no complex setup; it is ready to wear upon purchase. Compatibility is broad, designed for adult male wearers in size L. Care instructions are crucial for maintaining the jacket's performance and longevity. Always refer to the specific care label on the garment. Generally, to preserve the durable and sustainable materials:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water (30°C or 86°F). Use a mild, environmentally friendly detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the fabric and its properties. Hang it on a line or a sturdy hanger away from direct sunlight.
- Maintenance: For enhanced water repellency, consider periodic treatment with a suitable impregnation spray designed for outdoor clothing, following the product's instructions. Store the jacket in a cool, dry place when not in use.
