Category: Outerwear

This anorak combines the design of vintage Arctic gear with the weather resistance of waxed cotton for reliable weather protection with minimal bulk.

This shell is modeled after the smocks worn by early mountaineers and WWII-era troops serving in arctic units. The pullover design was dictated by the demand for rugged simplicity in the harshest conditions, while improving packability.

The quarter-length front zipper is backed by a gusset to maintain protection when unzipped, while allowing ventilation. The drawcord-adjustable hood is large enough to provide coverage for the sides of your face. For absolute dependability, the adjusting drawcords at the waist and hem simply tie off, eliminating the need for hardware. The waist ties are tucked inside the kangaroo hand pocket to prevent snagging. A snap-flap chest pocket keeps smaller essentials close at hand and secure. The back is double-layered for durability and added protection. Snap-adjustable cuffs.

Natalie ★★★★★

The minimal bulk is what sold me — I can layer it under a pack without feeling like a marshmallow. The waxed finish sheds light rain beautifully and has that rugged vintage look I was after.

Abigail E. ★★★★★

The waxed cotton has handled everything from drizzle to heavy downpours without ever feeling damp underneath. It's surprisingly easy to move around in despite the sturdy fabric, and the minimal bulk makes it perfect for layering. Definitely glad I picked this up for wet weather.

Riley ★★★★★

I’ve worn this anorak through a few rainy hikes, and the waxed cotton really sheds water without making me feel like I'm inside a plastic bag. The minimal bulk is perfect—it layers easily under a pack without restricting movement.
