Including the word 'light' in a product name instantly makes people feel they are getting the watered-down version of something. This isn't the case with Fjallraven Nuuk Lite, the subject of this review. Yes, this brilliant waterproof winter jacket is lighter than the brand's full-on arctic parka, but in this case, it makes sense to buy the light version over the non-light variety. Hear me out.
What we consider the best winter coats are often overkill in everyday situations. Sure, you can get a polar expedition-ready jacket from Shackleton or Canada Goose for an eye-watering price, but wearing those in milder conditions is just wrong and unnecessary. What you need is a jacket that has similar properties to those but is lighter and more suited for everyday use.
