Why We Love This Deal
Labor Day weekend is still over a week away, but REI is already serving up a preview to its highly anticipated Labor Day Sale. Right now, the retailer has great deals on gear from top brands, including this versatile Fjallraven jacket with an eye-popping discount of over 50%.
It’s the Fjallraven Skogso Jacket that’s on sale, down to just $120 in the Indigo Blue colorway, a massive 52% discount from its normal price of $250. That’s a really deep and really rare discount for a piece of Fjallraven outerwear. Although it only applies to one colorway, there’s a generous size range available.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Colorways Available: The Skogso Jacket is on sale in one colorway, Indigo Blue. Four other colorways are available for the full price of $250.
- Sizes Available: Small through XL
- Fabric: 65% polyester, 35% cotton
- Waterproof: No, though you can wax it for water resistance
The Skogso is crafted from Fjallraven’s G-1000 Lite and G-1000 fabrics, both blends of polyester and cotton. They’re lightweight, have a similar hand feel to cotton canvas, and they’re exceptionally durable. These materials also breathe well—something that REI reviewers have noted when wearing this jacket on long treks outdoors. While there’s no waterproof membrane in this jacket, you can apply Fjallraven’s Greenland Wax to the outside of the jacket to boost its water resistance—no PFAS or other harsh chemicals required.
The jacket features two chest pockets and two hand pockets, all with zippers, and the adjustable hood provides extra protection from the elements. The long sleeves provide plenty of coverage, and the cuffs and hem are adjustable for a fine-tuned fit.
What Shoppers Are Saying
REI shoppers have been blown away by the Skogso’s impressive build quality and versatility. One shopper loved its “stylish and durable” design, and another noted that it “breathes easily when trekking through the woods.”
When the polyester-cotton fabric is waxed, it also offers great protection from the wind and rain. One shopper called it the “best rain jacket I’ve ever owned,” and another said it’s “the perfect outdoor jacket.” A third reviewer said it’s “better than Patagonia.”
Comfortable, built to last, and highly adaptable to changing conditions, the Fjallraven Skogso is a worthy addition to any outerwear lineup—doubly so at 52% off. We’re confident you won’t find a better-made jacket for $120, so snag yours today before REI sells out.
