Received my jacket yesterday and put it immediately to use in mixed weather for a short walk with the dog. I stayed dry and was surprised at how windproof it is too. I bought this as a replacement to my 5 year old Orkan that has lasted well and retained good performance but now has repairs on top of repairs. I feel like the Forsvar, fit wise at least is a carbon copy of the Orkan. I’ve used my Orkan as a heavy weather cycling jacket, as the hood goes over a helmet and the sleeves (they are slightly long) work well in a cycling position and I will use the Forsvar for the same primary purpose. The Forsvar fits the same, hood works the same over my bike helmet, only the fabric is different, being a bit crunchier than the fabric of he Orkan. I can’t speak to the eco credentials of the fabric, I bought it because it seemed a better deal than the Orkan at the time, and I’m very happy with the jacket and it’s performance, especially given the price paid (half price at point of purchase). Would I have bought at full price? No. I’d have bought a lesser quality jacket for the same money, but this is (IMO) excellent quality at the price point I paid.
Thank you for the review, Matthew!
We're glad to hear you find the Forsvar to be a solid replacement for your Orkan and that it is performing well for cycling too.

Well fitting jacket, although the arms are slightly long and the pockets slightly small. Hood is adjustable and fits well.
Main problem is that in heavy rain the jackets soaks through in less than 10 minutes. I use it for dog walking in Scotland so I am out in all weathers. I am very disappointed in the lack of water resistance.
I have had the jacket since August 2022 so this is a long term review. The water resistance was a problem from when I got the jacket.
Thank you for sharing your feedback on our Forsvar Jacket, Nick. We're glad to hear that you appreciate the fit and adjustability of the hood. However, we are sorry to hear about the issue you've experienced with the water resistance.
The Forsvar is designed to offer reliable waterproof protection, with a 15k waterproof rating. It's concerning to hear that it has not performed as expected during heavy rain. We understand your disappointment, and we take your feedback seriously.
Please feel free to reach out to our customer support team so we can further investigate and work towards a resolution for you. We appreciate your support and hope to address this concern promptly.
Kind regards,

Got this jacket two weeks ago and was the first time out on Sunday in the Lake District doing Coledale horseshoe great coat fitting was great on body but arms just a bit to long but ok as it kept the hands loads of pockets and great colour.
Thank you for the awesome review, Stuart! We are happy to hear that you're pleased with the jacket. The photo you've shared looks amazing, and it's great to see blue skies in the Lakes during October. Thank you for choosing our Forsvar jacket, and our Hagna trousers! We hope they continue to accompany you on many more exciting hikes.
Best wishes,
