Fjallraven Nuuk Insulated Parka vs Fjällräven Expedition Long Down Parka

The Nuuk is the tougher, more weatherproof everyday parka: recycled synthetic fill, a 10,000 mm waterproof membrane and 11 pockets, and owners rate it as a hard-wearing winter workhorse. The Expedition Long Down is the warmer, lighter-feeling option for deep cold, with 700 fill-power down and an offset quilt that limits cold spots, though it is a looser, longer cut and less suited to wet slush. Buy the Nuuk for wet, windy city winters and rough daily use; buy the Expedition Long for dry, very cold climates and standing around outdoors.

• Choose the Nuuk Insulated Parka if you face wet snow, rain and daily wear and want a fully waterproof shell with synthetic fill that keeps working when damp.
• Choose the Expedition Long Down Parka if you need maximum warmth in dry, bitter cold and prefer a long, loose cut with premium down.
