What is the Fjällräven and GORE-TEX collaboration?

The Fjällräven and GORE-TEX collaboration is a return to a partnership first seen in the early 1990s. The latest collection combines Fjällräven’s approach to long-lasting design with GORE-TEX waterproof protection, updated for current material standards.

What is the new ePE membrane used by GORE-TEX?

The ePE membrane is a new GORE-TEX material that removes PFAS from the membrane itself. It is designed to deliver waterproof and windproof protection while reducing environmental impact compared with earlier membrane constructions.

Why is the Fjällräven x GORE-TEX collection PFAS-free?

Fjällräven has committed to moving away from PFAS wherever possible. Using the new GORE-TEX ePE membrane allows the brand to maintain weather protection standards while aligning with its wider sustainability goals.

What types of jackets are included in the new Fjällräven GORE-TEX range?

The collection includes shell jackets from established Fjällräven lines such as Keb and Bergtagen. These designs are intended for trekking, alpine use and changeable weather conditions, with matching trousers also available.

When did Fjällräven first work with GORE-TEX?

Fjällräven first worked with GORE-TEX in the early 1990s, becoming one of the earlier European brands to adopt the material. The partnership produced outerwear suited to the alpine travel and exploration of that period.

Where can I buy Fjällräven GORE-TEX clothing in the UK?

Fjällräven GORE-TEX clothing is available in the UK from The Sporting Lodge. The collection includes jackets, trousers and shell layers built around the latest GORE-TEX materials.

Fjällräven x GORE-TEX: A Next-Generation Collaboration

For Autumn/Winter 2025/26, two icons of outdoor performance reunite. Fjällräven and the GORE-TEX Brand have joined forces once again to create a new collection of durable hardshells, designed for life above the treeline and demanding alpine adventures.

Combining Fjällräven’s heritage of sustainable innovation with GORE-TEX’s world-renowned “GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY®” promise, this collaboration delivers technical outerwear that balances performance, durability, and environmental responsibility.

A Partnership Rekindled

The last time Fjällräven worked with GORE-TEX was in the early 1990s, when the Swedish brand became one of the first in Europe to utilise GORE-TEX technologies. That partnership produced a generation of outerwear built for the golden era of alpine adventure.

Now, more than 30 years later, the collaboration returns — updated, upgraded, and firmly focused on the future.

Built for Performance, Designed for Responsibility

At the heart of this collection is Next Gen GORE-TEX technology featuring the new ePE membrane. This breakthrough material is PFAS-free, aligning with Fjällräven’s long-standing commitment to sustainability.

Combined with durable recycled textiles, the result is shell garments that are high-performing, hard-wearing, and low on impact — perfectly in tune with Fjällräven’s ethos of creating products to be repaired, not replaced.

The New Collection

The launch includes standout jackets from Fjällräven’s most trusted lines:

Keb GTX Jacket in Black — a trekking essential built with recycled polyamide and GORE-TEX ePE, offering waterproof, windproof, and breathable protection with superior mobility.

Bergtagen GTX Touring Jacket in Deep Forest — tailored for ski touring and splitboarding, featuring a helmet-compatible hood, snow skirt, and practical storage options.

The wider collection also includes trousers and Bergtagen GTX Pro garments, engineered for extreme conditions and advanced mountain use.

Two Icons, One Purpose

Together, Fjällräven and GORE-TEX bring 132 years of combined outdoor expertise into a forward-looking collection.

More than a comeback, this collaboration is a commitment to progress: garments that endure harsh conditions, support exploration, and minimise environmental impact.

For those who live to explore the wildest places on earth, the Fjällräven x GORE-TEX collection represents the next generation of performance outerwear — rugged, responsible, and ready for adventure.
