Al's Anorak is a modern take on the classic design, with a focus on comfort and utility. We love that our Anorak has been on TV a bunch. It's a favorite among the participants in History Channel's Hit series Mountain Men and Survival Contest ALONE. The WeatherWool Anorak has been worn on History by Mike Horstman, Brady Nicholls, Benji Hill, JP Quiñonez, Callie Russel and Amós Rodriguez and others. It's also worn by hundreds of people in the Military. The Anorak is a design of the first inhabitants of North America's Arctic Region. Our Finnish Advisor Anton Kalland tells us the term comes from the Finnish Anorakki, which in turn comes from the Ancient Greenland word Annoraaq. Our Anorak handles a wide variety of conditions and activities and is designed for a relatively active individual to wear over one or sometimes two light base layers. The Anorak is intended for temps between from 10F/-12C to 80F/27C. But people push it, successfully, into much colder conditions. Most people will be comfortable in temps from 20F/-7C to 70F/21C, indoors and out, with low to moderate levels of activity. The FullWeight Anorak is better at lower temps and the MidWeight better at higher temps. Our custom-made 100% wool Fabric is soft enough to be worn directly on even the most sensitive skin, yet durable enough to see you through the most rugged adventures. Choosing the best fabric weight and garment size will depend on your climate, activity level, base layers, and personal preference. The Anorak serves very well for air travel. I find a MidWeight Anorak over a light T-Shirt to be completely comfortable for a long day of travel. Sometimes, security will accept the Anorak as a shirt, and I don't have to take it off. But either way, I can keep all my necessities in a plastic bag in the pouch, and put my stuff thru security in the bag, instead of loose. After passing security, the necessities can be stored in the chest pocket and/or the pouch. Once seated, with the side zips open, the seat-belt can be passed under the front flap and anything in the pouch is easily reached. And of course, the Hood, with or without a hat, helps for catching Zs. One very frequent traveler told me that, since he got his Anorak, he sleeps in the airport instead of getting a hotel room for long layovers. Sometimes people tell me the Anorak would be easier to put on if the bottom of chest pockets were sewn to the body of the garment. That would create a line of stitching on the outside of the garment, and we avoid that. And so long as you know (should be a very easy lesson!!) to put your arms over (not under) the chest pockets, you're golden. Because the side zips of the Anorak accommodate so well the changing figure of an expectant Mom, we have a MATERNITY page. Ladies, please send photos! Versatility is a BIG thing for me, and I love that the 'rak runs the gamut from Maternity to Military! Anorak Size Chart ...
