Hello, I am a ventilator - FJALLRAVEN (Arctic Fox) Keb jacket experience sharing

For outdoor equipment, I have always been adhering to and advocating the concept of choosing according to different environments and usage requirements, because the positioning of the equipment is different, the functions are different, the user's use is different, the use environment is different, so if there is no specific problem Specifically, it is possible that there will be deviations in the use of equipment. At that time, users may get erroneous conclusions. This is similar to how we drive a BMW 7-series car to the muddy terrain of the western Sichuan Plateau. The effect may even be possible. Unlike the Changan van, if we think that the BMW 7 Series is not as good as the Changan Bread, then this conclusion is undoubtedly very ridiculous.


When we talk about here, let's talk about coats in outdoor clothing. It's definitely the most exposed outdoor clothing, and it's also used as a reference to this jacket. A signage product for outdoor enthusiasts. Jackets and soft shells have varying degrees of windproof, waterproof, and breathable features, while taking into account the role of body protection, so everyone will use it to perform activities in a variety of outdoor environments. But I don’t know if everyone has such an experience:


When we are in the high-cold environment such as Tibet, the western Sichuan Plateau, and the winter in the north, we have high-volume outdoor activities. The chances of encountering heavy rain and heavy rainfall are relatively small, and the chance of encountering snow and snow is relatively high. But even so, we may still be wet, so where does the water that wets our body come from? Not rain or snow, but more because of the sweat that our body produces. Although good jackets and soft shells have a breathable function, if the amount of exercise is relatively large, more sweat is generated than moisture emitted through the clothing may wet the body, in that environment, once the body is wet In case of severe cold weather, it is very easy to lose temperature and may even endanger life.


What coat is what we need in this case? Needless to say, in order to avoid sweating, a breathable jacket may be more suitable for us than a highly waterproof jacket. One of the FJALLRAVEN Keb jackets from Northern Europe is one of them.


Speaking of FJALLRAVEN, veterans know that the Chinese brand name “Arctic Fox” comes from a distant Nordic country—Sweden. Its products are exquisitely crafted, and they are known for their retro appearance, durable fabrics, and exquisite workmanship. , Its classic Kanken series backpack and G-1000 outdoor clothing is even more famous on the market.


Keb jacket is a G-1000 fabric as raw material, then what is G-1000 fabric? Let's take a look at the official product introduction to see the past and present of G-1000 fabrics:

How the tent became a jacket The outdoor clothes of the 1960s did not want to be as practical as today's similar products. When the Nordic Greenland Expedition used the revolutionary warm tent of Fjällräven in 1966, they deeply realized this. When the improvement of the tent was successful, how to improve the function of outdoor clothing became a hot topic for the expedition members to discuss. This prompted Mr. Åke Nordin to seriously consider developing jackets and trousers suitable for outdoor activities. On a accidental day, before a mountain hike, a thick layer of tent fabric caught the attention of Mr. Åke Nordin.


The first Fjällräven Jacket these wear-resistant fabrics were abandoned earlier because they were too heavy for his ultralight tents. He placed the fabric on the floor and began to line it. Using the tailor's scissors left by his grandfather, Åke cut the fabric into a jacket and used a sewing machine to patiently stitch the fabric into a jacket. Fjällräven’s first jacket was born.


G-1000 and Greenland Wax After several rounds of outdoor use tests, Ã…ke thinks this fabric has the qualities missing from his early outdoor clothing, which is extremely wear-resistant and quick-drying. The only problem is that the waterproof performance needs to be improved.
When Åke contemplates how to improve the waterproof properties of this fabric, the scene of skiing at Örnsköldsvik in his hometown comes to his mind. While waiting on the ski, in order to avoid getting wet, Åke and his companion waxed not only on the snowboard to make the board smoother, but they also waxed on their pants to keep the body dry. Is it possible to use the same method on this fabric to achieve a waterproof effect? Åke used a mixture of beeswax and paraffin wax for several tests. He applied the wax to the fabric first, and then heated it with his wife's Elisabeth's hair dryer. The wax penetrated into the fabric and was waterproof, windproof, and more durable. effect. The most durable outdoor fabric in the world was born! This waxed tent fabric was named G-1000 (G stands for Greenland). Wax is named Greenland Wax


G-1000, a small market in the small mountain range, has accelerated the development of Fjällräven garments for wearable outdoor wear. Soon, mountain trekkers, anglers, hunters, and people in various outdoor industries can enjoy outdoor time without having to think about the weather conditions they are in. Today, G-1000 is one of the most popular outdoor fabrics for a variety of outdoor activities.


See here, do you think of the origin of jeans? Is there a feeling of deja vu? According to the manufacturer, this kind of fabric will also be like jeans, and the longer it is used, the more it will taste.

FJALLRAVEN divided G-1000 fabrics into five different categories. They are:


G-1000 Original - Classic wear is blended with 65% polyester and 35% long fiber cotton. The G-1000 Original is the classic collection of Fjällräven comfortable outdoor apparel. This fabric was originally used to make tents. Its texture was relatively heavy and could not meet the requirements of lightweight tents, but it had the characteristics needed for outdoor clothing. Whether it is a polar expedition or a break on the rocks of a forest glade, the G-1000 Original has passed a variety of harsh environmental tests.


G-1000 Silent - Silent comfort is blended with 65% polyester and 35% long fiber cotton. G-1000 Silent is a ground version of G-1000 Original. Some influences, but garments using such fabrics are no longer rustling. This is a very practical feature for hunting and wildlife conservation. And the feel of this fabric is more soft and comfortable.


G-1000 Lite - Ultra-light quick-drying blended with 65% polyester fiber and 35% long fiber cotton. Compared to G-1000 Original, G-1000 Lite is lighter, faster dry, and goes out in summer Or when you need to wear wear-resistant clothing during your trip, the G-1000 Lite will be your ideal choice. The fabric is tightly woven from a tear-resistant blended yarn, offering a high degree of wear protection while being lighter in weight.


G-1000 Eco - Environmentally Friendly Excellent blend of 65% recycled polyester fiber and 35% organic cotton fiber, G-1000 Eco is a new member of the G-1000 family, not only with the height of G-1000 classic fabrics Durability and other features are also an environmentally friendly alternative. Our organic cotton comes from certified farms, and we spend a lot of time on research and development to determine the fiber length that truly meets the requirements for wear-resistant fabrics.


G-1000 HD - Super abrasion resistant blended with 65% polyester fiber and 35% long fiber cotton. G-1000 HD is a wear-resistant version of the classic G-1000. Its wear index is classic G. Three times as much as -1000, you can hardly wear it out (in the lab this fabric has undergone an unimaginable harsh abrasion test and proved its excellent wear resistance)
This fabric is used in the Fjallraven part of the backpack, and in the costumes of the top series Numbers.


It appears that except that G-1000 is a blend of 65% recycled polyester fibers and 35% organic cotton fibers, the other four are made from blends of 65% recycled polyester fibers and 35% long fiber cotton. However, there is a certain difference in terms of function. I estimate that there should be differences in the density, thickness, and processing of the fabric, which will make the function different. The Keb jacket that we are going to talk about today is made of G-1000Eco eco-friendly fabric.


In Sweden FJALLRAVEN's official website, I found the introduction of the Keb jacket, the 299.95 euro tag price once again proves that Northern Europe has no weak products, hehe. From the Swedish official website, we can see that there are 7 colors in this jacket. The color I started this time is “Autumn Red/Dark Grey” with the official website. But of these 7 color combinations, my favorite is actually "asphalt/deep olives."


On the Chinese website, this color is only "Autumn Red/Dark Grey" and "UN BLUE/UNCLE BLUE". I don't know what the "Uncle Blue" is. Is it a Smurf? Among these two colors, I prefer "Akie Red/Dark Grey".


Seeing a few official pictures, the user wears a Keb jacket to climb the snow-capped mountains.

Before I introduce the clothes, I would like to report my figure data:

Height: 168CM

Weight: 79KG

Body Type: Strong

Waist circumference: 2 feet 6

Bust: 3 feet 1


When choosing this dress, I referred to the opinions of friends. They said that the clothing of this brand is generally more self-cultivating. Although I am not tall enough, I should wear M, so I eventually chose the M number. Finally, it turns out that this It is a wise choice.


Originally, the clothes wanted to be received before the National Day, so that it can be used when the white Haba in northern Xinjiang crosses through Kanas. The kind of cold and rainy environment is very consistent with the positioning and use environment of the clothes. It is the test. A great place to experience. Unfortunately, due to various factors, this piece of clothing was in late October when it came to the end of the day. It was really a shame that it failed to catch up.


Keb jacket under the sun

The Keb Jacket is a hooded jacket. The whole outfit will be in two colors: shoulders, hats, cuffs, dark red hem, chest, back, sleeve elbows up and down gray. The shades of dark red and gray look very coordinated and do not look unexpected. All the dark red areas are G-1000Eco fabrics, and all the gray areas are highly elastic and breathable fabrics.


The tag indicates that the place of origin is in China. The jacket on the tag shows the size of the Asian. The SIZE indicates that it is suitable for people wearing 175/96A.

But in fact, according to my size, this dress is indeed very self-cultivation as the friend said, the length is just right, the front hem in the jeans pocket position, the rear slightly longer, covering the buttocks. But after pulling the zipper, it's more like a tights. I can't add any warm clothes except sweat underwear. So whether it is suitable for 175 tall people to wear, this is a question mark first, go back and find a friend of similar height to put on a try.



Photos behind


Red G-1000 fabric part, looks very fine weaving method is firm, feels much thinner than UNIQLO's denim jeans, much like a child's new home quilt quilt, when the household items are considered durable first Therefore, it will be more solid, and the feel of this fabric will be very similar to that of being covered. Considering that, as FJALLRAVEN said, this kind of fabric is derived from the tarpaulin of an old-fashioned tent, the strength of this fabric should be good.


This is a photograph under the fluorescent lamp, and there is a color difference from the photo in the sun.


This is a fabric that shines under the sun

The gray part is a four-way breathable elastic fabric that feels breathable when actually worn.


The main zipper on the front of the garment is not a waterproof zipper. Instead, cover it with a cloth. If you think about it, the design of the garment itself is a casual hiking outfit. If the waterproof zipper is attached to a thick strip of rubber, it is exposed. Outside, how hard is it? And waterproof zipper with this cotton blend fabric will also appear out of place.


The buckles are very detailed, and the intricate Arctic Fox LOGO on the surface is very beautiful. It can also be seen from this picture that the work of the Arctic Fox is still good, the alignment is clear and neat, there is no redundancy, and the line and line, the line and the edge of the fabric are kept roughly parallel, there is no crooked phenomenon. It is also worthwhile to praise the fact that the threading of the stitching of different fabrics is very detailed.


One side raises one person in water and soil, and different environments create different people and create different brand designs. The FJALLRAVEN design from Northern Europe takes into account the use requirements of the alpine regions. This Keb jacket also bears witness to this point. We can see the clues from the buckle design of this dress: the main zipper goes from top to bottom. There are four buckles in total and three in the head and neck. When the bottom one is buckled, it is almost the same as our usual lapel;




When the middle button is buckled, the entire neck will be wrapped in the hood, which is equivalent to the function of the collar.

When the top one is buckled, the entire face is already wrapped in the hood, leaving only a pair of eyes outside.


In the same way, the head and neck are tightened by pulling the rope up and down, and the cap will tightly wrap around the neck to prevent the cold wind from pouring in from the neckline; when tightening the pull rope The cap will wrap the face, which is equivalent to adding a warm mask to the face and nose.

From the design of the hat can also be seen this clothes for the cold environment considerations: generally hooded clothes, hats, hats are only one, and the hat is two pieces of this dress, the front one can be folded over, if not Folding, then you can go straight to the front of the head to the front of the eye, if the tightening rope with the face tightened then the entire head will be wrapped, leaving only a gap in the eye area, which can strengthen the head Department of insulation effect. In addition, if the front hat is not folded, it can be well covered even if a helmet is worn, and the head can also be covered and kept warm during technical climbing. If you feel that the front piece of the brim is pulled too far, you can also fold it up so that the hat is a normal-sized hood that is suitable for everyday use. There is also a wire that can be shaped inside the front piece of the brim, which can be shaped according to your needs, so as to prevent the brim from becoming soft and tacky.


State after folding



The state of not folding


The state of the hat before folding can also see the eyes and part of the forehead


Without folding, the forehead basically can't be seen


Then look at the state of the side without folding the brim. How does the head feel like a pea inside a Zombie plant? Ahahahahaha


If the brim is pulled too far forward, it will cause the eyes to be blocked and the line of sight will be affected, so it can be adjusted by the gluing on the back of the hat. At the same time, tightening the rope above the hook can also make the top of the hat better wrap around the head.


Keb had a big zipper on both sides of the body to the side of the hem. At first I thought it was two side pockets. So when I received the clothes that night and I was wearing it to the convenience shopping area, I pulled the zipper off and put The purse was conveniently put in, and as a result, he heard a bang and heard her purse fell to the ground. I noticed that this was only a breathable opening instead of a side pocket. The reason why this misunderstanding occurs is that under normal circumstances, the perspiration under the armpits is open, often extending from the armpit to the upper arm, or even extending to the elbow joint. The opening of the other section is generally the lowermost rib. The side is in an inverted "V" shape, and the side of Keb's sweaty mouth, the upper end is just under the armpit, the lower end is very close to the lower part, and it is close to my hip bone. Generally this position is often the position of the side pocket. , so I was misled by the carelessness. I didn't know if other people had such misunderstandings. Fortunately, I felt the wallet was dropped on the ground. If I didn't find it, or if I put the phone in, I would lose it. .


Keb's large area of ​​the back uses a highly breathable elastic fabric, this elastic fabric should be more breathable than the G1000, because the back is the more sweating parts, so require more sweat on the more air-permeable parts of the fabric. I compared the old friend Keb of the next friend a few years ago. His old Keb's back was a G-1000 fabric instead of a gray stretch fabric. According to his own usage, he said that the elastic fabric used for a long time. After that, I would play the ball. If this is the case, I would rather use G-1000 with a slightly lower air permeability. After all, my back often rubs against my backpack. Of course, this is just a friend's side of the word, how the specific performance, will not play, but also have to experience and feel in the actual use in the future.


Keb's internal photo after opening the main zipper reveals that the jacket is basically a layer, without a liner, and if it is lined, the weight may go up.


Keb's elbows are made of fabric stitching. This ensures that the elbows have more flexibility when bending. No matter how the elbows are actually worn, there is no feeling of hand-twisting. This is done very well. Not bad.


There is only one side pocket in the arm. I think the effect of the decoration is more practical than that of the side pocket. The pocket money will do. Other things that are slightly thicker are not suitable.

Some details:

The zipper head is made of a leather surface with an Arctic fox logo, and it is stamped with brass studs. This is in line with his family's retro style. I love this style. Is it because I am old? Aha hahaha Haha!


The zipper is a YKK zipper, and the pull buckle is also a worn style.


There is a side pocket on the left and right sides of the chest. It is the same as the side pocket on the arm. Because it is a stretch fabric, it is better not to install heavy objects and thick objects, otherwise it will bulge out or droop (good evil) is hard to see.


But there are only pockets on the front of the chest and a side pocket on one arm in the entire Keb's clothes. It's inconvenient to hold something with a little weight like a mobile phone, and it's not convenient to put it in your pocket. How to do it? Don't worry, Keb has already considered this issue, LOOK:


See it, there is a pocket in the chest pocket. This pocket is slightly larger than an iPhone and put IPHONE6 in, just not over the top, and it fits well, even during strenuous exercise. Do not worry that the phone will fall out of the inside pocket, and do not have to worry about the phone falling into the bottom of the chest caused elastic fabric sagging.


The instructions on how to wax the G-1000 fabric on the inside of the chest are very detailed, but for me, the use of this garment is more for breathable perspiration rather than for rain protection, so I Do not consider going to wax.


Even so I still tested the waterproof properties of the following material

Use G-1000 fabrics to hold a handful of tap water


After a minute to see if the back of the fabric is not wet



However, after re-testing for three minutes, the back of the fabric has a feeling of infiltration





Actual evaluation

Environment: Everyday

Time: November 3rd afternoon

Temperature: 19-22 degrees Celsius

Location: Chongqing Batuo Middle School Playground

Because the fabric is not the fabric of the ordinary jacket, and the design style also includes the daily casual style, even if it is usually worn this will not be unexpected. Because every Tuesday afternoon, I will go to the Chongqing Bayu Middle School to give the top 1 students an outdoor elective course, just to wear this jacket to consult the students' opinions.

The course was conducted on the school grounds. I told the students about how to build the tent correctly. In fact, the temperature of the day is not low, and the sunshine is very good. Normally, a long-sleeved T-shirt is enough, but in order to test the ventilation and perspiration of this jacket in a warm environment, I still insist on wearing it.

In class, it is necessary to keep on standing, to stand up, to give demonstrations to students, to use hands and feet together with lectures, and to use more gestures, so in fact the amount of exercise is not small, and soon the body and forehead began to sweat.



I didn't pull on the zip, wearing a short-sleeved, quick-drying T-shirt inside the jacket. When I stooped down, it was obvious that the back of the jacket fit tightly against my back and the sweat quickly passed through the gray of the back. Highly breathable fabrics conduct to the jacket surface. There is no noticeable sweat on the back.




I am fat and love to sweat. At that temperature of the day, the forehead actually has a lot of sweat, but there is no obvious discomfort on the back.



Afterwards, I personally asked a few of my classmates. My dress will not feel that everyday wear is out of place. Their reflection is normal and nothing special. From the functional point of view, the breathability of the clothes is really good, even in a relatively warm environment, the sweat on the back can be quickly distributed to the surface of the clothing. From this point, its air permeability is very good


Actual evaluation two

Environment: Everyday

Time: November 26 - December 1

Temperature: 3~18 degrees Celsius

Address: Yunnan Deqin Yubeng - Lijiang


This season is the dry season in Yunnan. There is no rain, so don't worry about what kind of heavy rain you will encounter. From the environment, snow may be encountered at high altitude in this season. The temperature difference between day and night is relatively large and the wind power is relatively large. The requirements for clothing are more windproof and breathable. Therefore, it is appropriate for Keb jackets to be used in such places. .

It's spectacular to see the sunset at Kawagebo


We were from Nepalese, and when we were in the west, the dust on this line was extremely high and the wind was fierce. The wind would roll up dust that covered the sun and it was not a good route. The first day's journey was just a walk from Nepal to the rain, the journey was simple and did not wear Keb. In the early morning of the next morning, we got up at five o'clock and then we went to Shenbao to worship at six o'clock. It was very cold in the morning and the breeze blew on my face. I was wearing a quick-drying one. T-shirts and other jackets outside the Keb jacket were not worn. So when they went out, they felt a cold shower and quickly put on the jacket's hat. But after a short walk, they felt cold and took off again. In short, I couldn't wear Keb's hat during the morning's march, but once I stopped and rested, I would immediately put on my hat to keep warm. From the time of the rainstorm collapse until the 40 minutes of the Shenbao Waterfall, my entire back did not have a bit of sweat. If it was replaced with a Jackets, it would be difficult to say.


Under the waterfall of God, this place is already about 4,300 meters. The wind in the mountains is not small, and the body will feel cool and cool when it is still.


Stayed for about half an hour in front of the Gods Waterfall and began to withdraw. I squatted quickly and the action was intense. Under normal circumstances, this amount of exercise should have sweated my back and Keb's excellent air permeability. It was shown at this time. I did not feel sweating on my back and the whole body was dry, which made me very satisfied.


It was already at noon when the waterfall collapsed from Shenbao Waterfall and then collected things westward. Although it was winter, the sun at noon was still hot. I was still wearing the same clothes as when I went to Shenbao Waterfall. Although it feels hot, Can wear it, not dare to undress, ah, or to the shade or the sun is not a place where the sun, the wind is very biting, and in this environment Keb has demonstrated its excellent windproof performance.


After Yudeng returned to Lijiang from Yuchi, the Keb Jacket became the casual wear of the city. Even if it was an outdoor outfit, it would not appear abrupt and bizarre in the city. This made me very satisfied. Basically, Keb can be identified as Keb. It was a jacket that got into the city and got outdoors.


summary:

Keb jacket is a jacket for both leisure and outdoor use. It is very suitable for use in areas where it is not humid and rainy. It is suitable for use in windy, cold, high and cold areas. Its advantages are outstanding:

1, has a certain wind performance, after the middle ground (2000-4000 meters) of the outdoor environment measured, its windproof performance is good, can protect the body in a windy environment will not lose heat;

2, breathable performance is very good, I am sweaty constitution, if the amount of exercise is a little more, it is easy to sweat, and Keb has a good breathability, can quickly export my sweat out of the body, so powerful ventilation can Keep the body dry in cold and cold places to avoid the risk of temperature loss.

3, the classic retro appearance makes this jacket can meet the city leisure travel, but also to meet the outdoor use, one thing more;

Of course, this dress also has deficiencies, that is found through the measured, gray elastic breathable fabric parts is still relatively easy to fluff, after the backpack friction and everyday wear, the back and the backpack contact parts, as well as the cuff Different degrees of fluffing, this is a bit uncomfortable, I hope the manufacturers can be more improved in the future selection of fabrics.
