Been using the jacket for a couple of weeks now, with temperatures ranging from 0 to (-18).
The jacket is warm, over -10 you can still manage with just a t-shirt, although when you can't tighten the sleeves every time, the cold feels a bit on the wrists. I've usually worn a thin flannel or merino shirt underneath, that's it and it gets hot. The jacket also breathes quite well, I haven't had a problem going shopping etc. with the jacket on, I haven't waxed when the winter has been decent for once, which certainly affects the breathability.
The jacket is a bit heavy, which is not a problem for me, and it also seems very stylish - which of course you can expect from a brand.
A few extra pockets on the inside wouldn't hurt, but you can say that these will do as well.
Many have complained about the hood, as it is tunnel-shaped and has a narrow field of vision. I've liked the hood myself, it protects well and fits ok after a little adjustment. In addition, the hood in the lower position when the zipper is tightened all the way up, protects the neck and cheeks all the way to the ears very well. The only minus is the faux fur, which should be real, but I understand why. the choice has been made.
Sizes: they seem quite generous, I'm 187/90 and I took L and at first I was wondering if it fits or hangs, when all the model photos are very close-fitting. However, by tightening a little in the middle, the jacket fits very well and the sleeves are long enough (I doubt this would have been a problem with the M size).
I would buy again and even at the normal price, my jacket was grabbed at a good sale.

Perfect jacket for cold to very cold weather. Keeps wind and rain away and you warm. Wears quite big, so try it before you buy it!

The jacket runs large, which is why if in doubt you should choose the smaller size. The workmanship and quality are in the usual Fjällräven quality, i.e. robust and cleanly processed. The down filling keeps you nice and warm and the outer material is windproof and waterproof and can even be treated with Greenland Wax.

The positive: drawstrings in the waist, hem and hood so the fit can be adjusted to your liking and taste. Large cuffs with adjustment so that many different types of gloves fit. A total of 9 pockets, so there are plenty of storage options. Stylish blue color and stylish leather details. Large sizes so you can fit several layers of clothing under the jacket if needed. Single buttons for the outer pockets so that they can be opened easily.
The negative: No sewn-in reflexes around the cuffs, hood and rear bottom edge. The hood is way too big, which makes it heavy and pulls a bit on the jacket when it hangs on the back. The hood is a so-called "snorkel variant", which I don't like as you are extremely shielded and get tunnel vision when you have the hood up, despite the hood's adjustment options. The collar is a little too high, if you pull the zipper up all the way, the collar almost goes past the nose. The jacket is warm, but I think it could have been even warmer but with a greater filling weight of down. Last but not least, I think the fur collar should have been real fur, not fake. Also missing sewn-in "hooks" on the inside of the jacket where you can hang gloves or other things.
All in all though, I'm happy with the jacket for the sale price I bought it for, wouldn't have been happy if I paid full price. Feels like a solid quality jacket with many adjustment possibilities that is good both in town and out in nature, despite some design flaws as mentioned above.
