Anoraki

For the umpteenth time, specialized equipment has become a fashion trend. Once upon a time - jeans and overalls, windcheaters and jackets, and now - and this, still outlandish for many items of outerwear. What are anoraks - comfortable jackets worn over the head, so fashionable today? Learn from our article!

In modern reality, the word "anorak" means a windproof jacket, usually very light, but made from a very dense fabric. This windbreaker is worn over the head, as it lacks a traditional front closure.

This item is part of professional climbing and hiking equipment.

Gradually, anoraki jackets were widely used among fishermen, hunters, and military. In recent years, the fashion for unusual windbreakers has spread among many youth subcultures.

Due to the convenience and practicality, anoraks began to be in great demand.

Now they can be found in the wardrobe of any person, and winter models have become especially popular.

There are a number of striking distinctive features due to which the anorak cannot be confused with any other type of jacket.

Lack of a traditional fastener. This is the main distinguishing feature of anorak. It is equipped with only a small zipper in the front, at the top of the jacket. This provides the best wind protection.

Large patch pocket in the middle and lack of side. This design decision is dictated by the fact that all climbing and hiking backpacks are attached with a special belt in front. This blocks access to the side pockets. The height of the front pocket on the anoraks is calculated based on the level of fastening of the backpack belt.

Hood. Since anorak is essentially a windbreaker, it cannot do without such a characteristic element. Often, for convenience, anoraks provide the option of placing the hood in a special pocket around the perimeter of the gate. This option is good for tourists, so you can adjust your uniform on the way, adjusting to changing weather conditions.

Extra wind protection. Anoraki are always equipped with a hood and bottom hem, as well as elastic bands on the cuffs. This saves not only from the piercing wind, but also from falling under the clothes of snow, which is especially important for climbers.

It is no coincidence that Anoraki are very popular among lovers of tourism and an active lifestyle. Firstly, they are convenient to carry on themselves - they weigh little, while protecting very reliably from wind, rain and any other vagaries of the weather. Secondly, they are convenient to carry with them - such jackets are very compactly folded, take up little space in a backpack. And if the weather changed anger to mercy while you were camping, having a small bundle of anorak in your backpack will not burden you at all.

In addition, branded anoraks are characterized by high strength and durability. And if, nevertheless, a need arises over time to repair such a jacket, then it will not be labor-intensive or expensive. Repairing anoraks is a simple process.

Unlike a traditional windbreaker, anorak cannot be opened casually if it suddenly became hot and wanted to ventilate. It’s not so easy to take it off.

This circumstance causes extreme dissatisfaction among some consumers, so they do not dare to purchase this fashionable type of outerwear.

In everyday life, it’s really unusual to see outerwear worn and removed just like a sweater or sweatshirt. It’s not very convenient to shoot such a thing somewhere in a public place.

In addition - for girls this circumstance is especially important - there is a chance to damage the hair by removing or putting on anorak on the run.

However, beauty requires sacrifice, and fashion adjusts all of us for ourselves. That is why, once upon a time, the general public will put up with these oddities, and this type of outerwear will no longer seem strange in everyday life.

In fact, anorak is a universal type of unisex outerwear. Manufacturers produce a wide range of all sizes and various colors. Since anorak has already ceased to be exclusively a tourist or climbing attribute, designers allow some deviations from the traditional features of such jackets. There are models without a hood, or, for example, with side pockets.

Models for the stronger sex, as a rule, do not have a large color variety. They are minimalistic, aimed at practicality and maintaining comfort.

Anoraki jackets for women are characterized by a more elegant cut, have a wide selection of colors. Such models can be of gentle tones or have characteristic, “girlish” prints.

Anorak models for young fashionistas differ from such clothes for adults, perhaps only in their size. They can be called miniature copies of female and male anorak.

Over time, the production of anoraks has expanded, and now such jackets are created for every season of the year, for any climatic and weather conditions.

Summer anoraki - light, thin, perfectly protect from rain and wind.

Demi-season anorak (for spring and autumn) - equipped with a lining, made of more dense and stiff fabrics.

Fans of outdoor activities and a sporting lifestyle can come in handy modern models of anorak equipped with a reflective strip. Such jackets will appeal not only to tourists and climbers, but also to cyclists or skaters. Anoraki, in which there are special 3M reflective elements, are always visible in the dark. Such a strip is able to reflect even the weakest light.

For greater convenience, many manufacturers began to improve such models of fashionable city jackets, adding to their design deviations from the classics. In particular, the practice of stitching zippers on the sides of anoraks began to be introduced, so that adherents of an active lifestyle had access to additional body ventilation.

This kind of anorak is borrowed by urban mods from a costume designed for field special forces. Hill 4 of the Russian manufacturer BARS is a set of anorak and pants made of special materials and having a specific cut. The original Gorka 4 has a natural base (100% cotton) and mixed linings (51% cotton, 49% polyester).

The free cut of anorak Gorka Bars 4 allows you to widely use such clothes not only in the field, but also in the mountains. Especially important is the fact that the styles of these jackets allow you to insulate with additional layers of clothing. This model is distinguished from the classic anorak by the presence of 5 pockets - one standard (in the middle on the chest), two - a little lower, on the hem and one on each sleeve. Since this is a kind of military uniform, the colors of the Anorak Gorka 4 are suitable - camouflage, khaki, olive.

By the way, camouflage coloring is relevant today not only on the anorak models described above, but also on the classic versions. The military style, which is in demand in urban fashion today, also involves models of anorak jackets in the khaki range.

It is very fashionable to combine different colors on one jacket. For example, there are often models whose top is made in one color (print), and the lower part of the jacket is in contrast.

In the coming seasons, white and black colors will not cease to be trends. Therefore, anoraks in these scales are also relevant. The combination of these two fashionable colors in one jacket is another stylish option.

Models of anoraks look quite fashionable, on the central pocket of which there is a large logo of the manufacturer. Also relevant are abstract drawings and prints of plant subjects.

Since many flashy colors (fiesta, green flash, buttercup, etc.) are in fashion in the coming season, designers strive to satisfy the tastes of urban fashionistas in this too. Anoraki - both male and female - can be easily selected in any current gamut.
