Fjällräven is a brand created by a team of people who are absolute experts on the cold – our products are designed and tested north of the Arctic Circle in Sweden. We are thrilled with the interest New England continues to show Fjällräven, and we look forward to engaging our fans and community at Snowport this winter.”
