The High Coast collection is designed for warm-weather days spent walking the coast path, exploring towns and heading out on light hikes. Expect lightweight layers, quick-dry fabrics and simple, useful features that pack down neatly without fuss.
Warm-weather performance, pared back.
High Coast pieces focus on breathable weaves and clean silhouettes that move easily and feel comfortable in rising temperatures. Selected garments use G-1000 Lite for abrasion resistance with reduced weight, while others use light polyamide/organic-cotton blends that dry fast and feel cool against the skin.
High Coast Wind Jacket (updated recommendation)
Looking for a versatile shell that handles breezy days, coastal gusts and light showers? The Fjällräven High Coast Wind Jacket – Navy is purpose-built for summer conditions where adaptability matters. Constructed from a lightweight blend of recycled polyamide and organic cotton, it delivers excellent wind resistance without compromising breathability. The fabric is soft to the touch yet durable enough for daily wear, making it ideal for both active outings and everyday use.
Its well-shaped hood provides secure coverage in sudden wind or drizzle, while the full front zip allows you to adjust airflow easily on warmer days. Two zipped hand pockets keep essentials like a phone, a map or snacks secure, and the jacket’s low-profile design means it layers comfortably over a T-shirt or mid-layer. When the weather improves, it packs down neatly into your bag without taking up valuable space – perfect for travellers and those commuting between the city and the coast.
Light layers that travel well
- Quick-dry fabrics: Optimised for mixed itineraries where you might be hiking in the morning and travelling later in the day. These materials wick away moisture and dry rapidly, keeping you comfortable without extra weight.
- Clean lines: The streamlined cut works in both outdoor and urban environments, slipping under other jackets without bulk and pairing easily with shorts, jeans or walking trousers.
- Pack smart: The High Coast range is designed with portability in mind – most items can be rolled or folded flat to fit into a small daypack, pannier or cabin bag without creasing heavily.
Shorts and trousers for hot days
High Coast shorts and trousers are engineered for warm-weather comfort and mobility. Many styles use Fjällräven’s G-1000 Lite fabric for a balance of lightweight and abrasion resistance, while others feature a quick-drying synthetic and cotton blend for maximum ventilation. Pocket designs are minimal yet functional, with just enough space for maps, small tools or travel documents. This combination of low bulk, airy fabrics and simple styling makes them equally suitable for day hikes, sightseeing or long-distance travel. Browse the latest options here: Browse High Coast styles.
A note on older pieces
Earlier versions of the High Coast line, including some garments referenced in older articles, are now archived. However, the updated range retains the same philosophy: lightweight, breathable, travel-ready clothing that is equally at home on a breezy shoreline or in the middle of a bustling summer city. This makes it a go-to choice for those who value comfort, practicality and easy portability during warmer months.
