Product Information
Full details
The Fjällräven Sten Jacket is a versatile, durable windbreaker designed for adults who prioritize functionality in both everyday urban settings and outdoor excursions. Crafted from a robust cotton and polyester blend, it provides excellent protection against the elements with a pre-shaped, ergonomic design; however, its reliance on waxing for water resistance means it requires periodic maintenance to maintain its weather-repellent capabilities.

FAQs
Is the Fjällräven Sten jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant, especially when treated with wax. It is not fully waterproof like a hardshell jacket with a membrane.
Can I wear this in winter?
The Sten is a shell jacket. It works well in winter if paired with a fleece or down mid-layer, but it provides no inherent thermal insulation on its own.
What is G-1000 fabric?
G-1000 is Fjällräven's signature material, a blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton that is extremely durable and breathable.
How often should I wax the jacket?
This depends on usage. If you notice water no longer beads off the surface during light rain, it is time to re-apply the wax.
Are the sleeves adjustable?
Yes, the sleeves feature buttoned cuffs, allowing you to tighten the opening around your wrists.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the fabric during rain
The wax layer has likely worn off. Apply a fresh coat of Greenland Wax to the outer shell and heat it gently with an iron or hair dryer to seal it.
Zipper feels stiff or hard to pull
Clean the zipper tracks of any debris or dust. You can apply a small amount of graphite or specialized zipper lubricant to improve the sliding motion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your jacket performing at its best, ensure the hem is cinched to your preference for a draft-free fit. Because the jacket uses a cotton-polyester blend, it is designed to be treated with Fjällräven Greenland Wax to increase its water and wind resistance.
Care Instructions:
- Use mild soap and a soft brush to remove surface dirt.
- Apply Greenland Wax to high-wear areas (shoulders, hood) to enhance weather protection.
- Wash in a machine at 40°C with similar colors if necessary, but avoid using fabric softeners as they can degrade the technical properties of the fibers.
- Always re-wax the garment after washing if you desire continued water repellency.
