Fjällräven -a Swedish outdoor brand born in 1960---just keeps delivering more and more cold weather apparel-jackets and parkas, high performance tops/bottoms…and of course -more on trend versions of their trendy Känken haulers-daypacks, messenger bags and extremely expedition worthy backpacks (separate post).
Love the exhibit space at Outdoor Retailer that now commands more footage.

FYI: What the big deal is with G-1000® is that the waxed fabrication can be re-waxed-just like skis/snowboards…apply, and iron on…as pictured...
 |
| apply generously-rubbing Greenland Wax -comes in $5 bars... |
 |
| use iron, hair dryer-and can wash the wax out too in hot wash 40ºC |
iron ensures it wax melts into fabric
