The AKTIV II is built for those moments when a lightweight, packable layer makes all the difference, combining responsibly sourced 700 fill power RDS certified down with a durable recycled ripstop outer for dependable warmth across a wide range of mountain conditions.
The 90/10 down fill provides an excellent warmth to weight ratio, while the recycled 46gsm nylon shell is finished with a PFAS free C0 DWR treatment to help repel light moisture and keep the insulation performing as conditions change. Down proof construction prevents feather loss, ensuring lasting performance season after season.
Without the added bulk of a hood, the AKTIV II layers comfortably beneath a waterproof shell or over a technical baselayer, adapting easily as temperatures fluctuate throughout the day. Compressing neatly into its own pocket, it takes up minimal space in your pack until the temperature drops and extra insulation is needed.
Battle tested for hiking, trekking and alpine pursuits, the AKTIV II is a dependable layer for everything from cool valley mornings to exposed high altitude ridgelines. Lightweight, versatile and built to keep the elements at bay, it gives you the confidence to continue beyond boundaries.

What a great product it is! I have been watching and seeing this jacket for a long while till I bought it. As soon as I open the pack I knew it was what I was looking for. I have used it for a while now, travels, hiking, city, etc. It is as warm as I expected, the fit is grat too I bought a Large with the chart and can not regret.
The only concern I have now is that I am seeing some of the feathers coming out of it. The first ones were when I carried a back pack while traveling, but now I have found some feathers coming out from all over the jacket. Is there something I can do to avoir it? I am worried that it might loose its warmth.
Thanks for the review! We're glad you're liking the jacket. A few feathers working loose is normal and won't affect the warmth. Just try to avoid is pulling them out, as that enlarges the hole and lets more escape. Instead, pinch from the outside, tuck the feather back in, and rub the fabric to seal the gap.

To be honest, i was a little skeptical and had some buyers regret as soon as i made the purchase (it hadn't arrived yet) ... I was just thinking i should have gone with one of the brands that I'm more familiar with and use alot - Rab, Hooké or Patagonia. I was quick to change my mind when it arrived.
Its a high quality product, light and a pretty good fit (I think I could have gone down a size, but its fine margins), for context , I'm 6'1' , 90kg and got the L. It fits a little looser than Rab jackets for me. TBH with more layers in the winter, the size will be perfect.
Overall very happy, this was my first purchase from Fjern , but won't be the last. Only niggle (something for the product team) - do look at the hood adjusters, they are quite fiddly and are not as secure as I was hoping. I like a really tight fit, but didn't get to what i would normally be used to, but its not a deal breaker by any stretch.
Thank you for the helpful feedback :-)

Really good jacket, comfortable and warm. Not clammy like some and far better value than other premium jackets. I use it as a thermal layer under my motorcycle mesh jacket, works great. Also wear it as a regular jacket too as it's so good.

Down jacket delivered promptly, good fit. Have worn the jacket several times in cold weather below 5c, feels windproof, and certainly warm would definately recommend in drier cold weather.

I was in two minds whether to return the jacket. I'm 38" chest and bought medium but it is so large that I have to wear three layers underneath. However, I decided to keep it. For me, it would benefit from having a higher neck, but this is a suggested improvement, not a complaint.
