FAQs
Is the Fjällräven Sten Jacket fully waterproof?
No, it is designed for water resistance. While it handles light precipitation well, it is not intended to function as a seam-sealed waterproof rain shell.
Can I wear this jacket in the winter?
It serves as an excellent outer shell in winter, provided you layer appropriately with thermal base layers and insulating mid-layers underneath.
How do I maintain the jacket's water resistance?
Use Greenland Wax. Apply it to the fabric, then use a hairdryer or iron on a low, safe setting to melt the wax into the fibers.
Does this jacket have a hood?
The Sten Jacket features a protective hood designed to keep the wind and elements off your head during trekking.
Is this machine washable?
Yes, but use a mild detergent and follow the specific washing instructions found on the interior label to avoid damaging the technical fabric.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak through the fabric during light rain
The wax coating has likely worn down; apply a fresh layer of Greenland Wax to the affected areas and heat gently with a hairdryer to ensure absorption.
Jacket feels less breathable than usual
Ensure the fabric is free of dirt and debris by washing according to the care label instructions to clear the pores of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Fjällräven Sten Jacket, proper maintenance is essential. Unlike standard washing machine-safe synthetic jackets, this garment performs best when treated with Greenland Wax to enhance its water-repellent capabilities. Always check the internal garment tag for specific temperature settings for washing, and avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can clog the weave of the fabric and reduce its breathability. Compatibility-wise, the jacket features a streamlined cut that fits well under a climbing harness or over a technical mid-layer fleece without excessive bulk.
