Our Verdict
Fjällräven's High Coast Shade Jacket is primarily designed to keep you protected from the sun. The lightweight, airy G-1000 Air Stretch fabric is fantastic for providing that barrier between you and the sun without making you overheat. The low weight and small pack size are great for travellers and hikers alike who will need help staying out of the suns rays. The fabric blend synthetic polyester and natural cotton to get the best out of both. The stretch allows a wide range of movement while maximising breathability for warm environments.
The style is simple and versatile with a well fitted hood and two hand pockets with mesh lining for added ventilation. The jacket is at home whether you're in the mountains, backpacking through the tropics or simply walking around your local area.
