Fjällräven Snow Round Neck Sweater

Review by Erin Trail

The Fjällräven Snow Round Neck Sweater is a STUNNING jacquard-knit sweater, inspired by Scandinavian folklore and made from soft, warm 100% traceable ZQ lambswool.

I have always had a deep love of wool sweaters, from growing up in Colorado and then going to college in Montana. I have a pretty solid sweater collection, but when I saw this new release on the Fjällräven website, I knew it would be a welcome addition to my collection.

The Fjällräven Snow Round Neck Sweater is made from 100% lambswool and is INCREDIBLY soft. Sometimes, with the first wearing of the season, I have to wear a tank top or t-shirt under a wool sweater because my sensitive skin gets itchy. This sweater is soft from the outset and I didn’t feel itchy at all.

I would call the weight of the Fjällräven Snow Round Neck Sweater “medium”. It’s warm but not sweltering, making it a versatile option for both casual wear and for active wear, easily transitioning from inside to outside use.

The Fjällräven Snow Round Neck Sweater is well made, with simple, but purposeful details. The neckline is rounded, leaving enough room for a turtleneck. The neck, wrist cuff, and bottom hem are all accented with a rectangular pattern and utilize flatlock seams. The main body has a beautiful design that does a fun shape shifty thing when looking at it up close and far away. From afar, it gives wavy vibes, but up close there is a tremendous amount of detail. I also love the cute little leather fox logo on the upper left arm.

I am a women’s size medium on the Fjällräven size guide and I found that the Snow Round Neck Sweater fits true to size. The arm length is great, extending a few inches past my watch. The bottom hem hits just slightly above the widest part of my hips and is not cropped.

I have been wearing the Fjällräven Snow Round Neck Sweater mostly for casual wear, as we don’t yet have much of a winter in Colorado. This sweater has been with me to the office, to breweries, and to holiday dinners. Once skiing gets a bit better, I know that this sweater would be a welcome midlayer that doubles as a stylish lunch or apres option. This sweater has been the first one I’ve been reaching for every time it gets cold. It has some minor pilling under the arms (which is expected and normal). It hasn’t shown any other signs of wear – no stretching. And thanks to the odor squishing qualities of wool, the sweater is low maintenance – no washing is required. Should you need to wash it, hand washing is plenty.

Closing Thoughts

The Fjällräven Snow Round Neck Sweater is a beautiful, intentionally made wool sweater that both feels and looks good. It is available for women in four colorways in sizes ranging from XXS to XL.

Erin Trail’s hobby is collecting hobbies. She’s a 5th Generation Coloradan and grew up exploring the outdoors on family camping trips and hikes. Her first backpacking trip was at eight years old to Grizzly Reservoir – she proudly carried all of her own gear those 3 miles from the main parking lot to the Reservoir.

Erin is an adult-onset athlete who started as a Masters Swimmer and then developed into a triathlete. She has completed 5 Ironman races and nearly 20 x 70.3 distance Ironman races, including the World Championship in Lahti, Finland, in 2023. In 2025, she raced for Team USA in Pontevedra, Spain for the World Triathlon Cross Tri World Championship. She placed 9th in her age group and was the 1st American woman in her age group.

Somewhere along her triathlon journey, she picked up deep love of cycling. Cycling encouraged her to see landscapes in a new way, learn new skills and to develop self reliance; now she often goes and does Type 2 rides just to see if she can do it. She’s got all the bikes: gravel, mountain, fat bike, time trial and road.

She is even known to combine her love of camping and cycling and go off on solo 24 hour overnight bikepacking trips in the mountains of Colorado. In addition to bikes, she teaches yoga, lifts weights, skis, SUPs and has recently purchased a campervan.

Erin is a former Montana park ranger with a degree in environmental engineering. She loves getting into technical details while putting her gear (and herself) through the paces. She shares her home in Colorado with her husband, Will, and her 3 cats (Zipper, Brewtus, and Simcoe).

Fall and winter 2025 will bring Erin to the “Adventure Side”, with many camping, vanlife, bikepacking, and mountain bike rides. Once the snow flies, she can be find resort skiing, fat biking, and triathlon training (inside and outside).

2026 will bring a National Championship Cross Tri race, a National Championship Road Sprint and Olympic Distance race, and hopefully a chance to represent Team USA once again in 2027 in Edmonton, Canada. She’ll also save lots of room for adventure time with her friends and husband.

When not adventuring, she can be found on a sunny patio somewhere, drinking beers with her husband.
