Fjallraven Yupik Parka

[Dunk]

I'm looking to buy this lovely Fjallraven parka (£350) and was wondering if you could recommend anything better?

Many thanks

and if anyone in the UK knows a good Fjallraven supplier that stock their sleeping bags etc that would be a great help, thanks ;]

After doing a bit more research i went for the Montt 3 in 1 in dark olive, http://www.fjallraven.com/outdoor-equipment/jackets/montt-3-in-1-hydratic-jacket this is G1000 and Hydratic so very breathable, warm and tough. For years i was using British army issue dpm Goretex jacket and trousers with wool layers underneath in winter, then i swapped the jacket for a Berghaus RG1 Parka but but it's not that good even though i could wear this to work! So i've got a tough, warm, water resistant i can wear this to work and out in the shire hills, it arrives tomorrow so I'll let you know how it works out as it was 9 degress and drizzling all this week and the RG leaks :[

Edit: it was only £299 too, which is quite cheap, hopefully it will last me a few years ;]

I've had the jacket (Montt 3 in 1) for a few days now and i have to say it is one of the best garments of clothing i have ever purchased! I have worn it everyday and it's very comfortable and very well made, it was wet, windy and cold this morning (5°C) and i only had a cold face and hands as these were exposed! I thought it would be too hot for this time of year but after taking out the fleece it's perfect for this time of year! Can't wait till it gets a lot colder so i can put in the fleece in wrap up and see how it fair's. If anyone is thinking of buying a winter jacket and had been thinking of getting a Fjallraven then i say go a head, for years i have bought Regatta, Berghaus, Army Goretex as they were cheaper but still functionable but then eventually let me down in some way. This is why i thought i would spend a little more money and go for something that will cover all areas and last me a few years. very happy and very warm and dry! ;]

Glad your pleased with it.
I have a few FR items, mostly bought from the old factory shop near Stockholm, as prices are more attainable.
