Men's Anoraks & Ponchos

About Men’s Anorak

Need a piece of outdoor apparel that combines the comfort and mobility of a hoodie with the weather resistance of a jacket? Look no further than an anorak.

Pullover Weather Protection With an Adjustable Hood

Outdoor clothing tends to focus on extremes. Far too often you’re left with the choice between an ultra-insulated jacket designed for arctic-like conditions, or a thin outer layer that can barely handle a light rain shower. Unless you’re pushing the boundaries of nature, or are only stepping outside in the best of weather, you need something that balances the best of both worlds. This is where an anorak comes in handy.
In today’s outerwear world, an anorak can mean many things. More often than not, however, it refers to a hooded pull-over jacket that’s water repellent and does not contain a top-to-bottom zipper. Anoraks originated with Greenlandic Eskimo culture and were originally made... of tanned caribou hide. Designed to withstand harsh and pesky weather, anoraks are versatile pieces of clothing that prioritize adjustability and range of movement. Most anoraks feature an adjustable drawcord hood that can cinch down to resist high wind. They’re also inherently waterproof and offer lightweight warmth for variable conditions
Perfect for outdoors enthusiasts seeking protection from the elements without impeding their ability to perform, men’s anorak jackets are engineered with comfort and easy movement in mind. They’re a preferred piece of clothing for rock climbers, hikers, skiers, and snowboarders.

Utilize the Power of a GORE-TEX Shell Jacket

When it comes to state-of-the-art apparel technology, no development has been more substantial than GORE-TEX. With the highest waterproof rating out of any material, other models of jackets simply cannot compare. These jackets are designed with a breathable membrane comprised of vent hotels that are 20,000 times smaller than water droplets, making your clothing impervious to water intrusion. Combined with pit zips, you’ll receive maximum airflow at all times. Capable of handling extreme storms or just casual use around town, a men’s GORE-TEX jacket is a versatile innovation that you’ll want at your disposal.
