Our Verdict

The Fjällräven Abisko Grid Fleece Hoodie is a versatile, mid-layer fleece that combines warmth, breathability, and packability, making it a solid choice for hikers needing adaptable insulation. This hoodie features a grid-structured fleece interior constructed from recycled polyester, which retains warmth and efficiently wicks moisture, keeping you dry on intense hikes or cool summer evenings. 

The hoodie’s design includes a snug-fitting hood, raglan sleeves, and flatlock seams, all crafted to enhance comfort when worn under a pack. These features reduce chafing and ensure a smooth fit, which regular outdoor users will appreciate. Its two-way front zip, two hand pockets, and a zippered chest pocket offer practical storage and temperature control. Additionally, the hoodie’s sustainable dyeing process minimises water and energy use, aligning with Fjällräven’s commitment to eco-friendly practices.​
