Anoraki

For the umpteenth time, specialized equipment is becoming a fashion trend. Once upon a time - jeans and overalls, windbreakers and leather jackets, and now - and this, still outlandish for many, piece of outerwear. What are anoraks - comfortable over-the-head jackets that are so fashionable today? Find out from our article!

In modern reality, the word "anorak" refers to a windproof jacket, usually very light, but made from a very dense fabric. Such a windbreaker is put on over the head, since it is devoid of the traditional front fastening.

This item is a piece of professional climbing and hiking gear.

Gradually, anoraki jackets have found widespread use among fishermen, hunters, and the military. In recent years, the fashion for unusual windbreakers has spread among many youth subcultures.

Due to their convenience and practicality, anoraks are 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, thanks to which the anorak cannot be confused with any other type of jacket.

Lack of traditional clasp... This is the main distinguishing feature of the 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 no side pockets. This design decision is dictated by the fact that all mountaineering and hiking backpacks are fastened with a special belt in the front. This closes access to the side pockets. The height of the front pocket on the anoraks is calculated, starting from the level of fastening the belt of the backpack.

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

Additional wind protection... Anoraks are always equipped with a drawstring on the hood and bottom of the hem, as well as elastic bands on the cuffs. This saves not only from the piercing wind, but also from getting 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, it is convenient to carry them on oneself - they weigh little, and at the same time very reliably protect from wind, rain and any other vagaries of the weather. Secondly, they are convenient to carry with you - such jackets fold very compactly and take up little space in a backpack. And if the weather has turned from anger to mercy while you were on the hike, having a small bundle of anorak in your backpack won't burden you in the least.

In addition, branded anoraks are highly durable and durable. And if, over time, there is a need to repair such a jacket, then it will not be laborious or costly. Fixing anorak is a simple process.

Unlike the traditional windbreaker, the anorak cannot be opened casually if it suddenly becomes hot and you want to ventilate. It is not so easy to remove it.

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 put on and take off just like a sweater or sweatshirt. It is 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 hairstyle by taking off or putting on the anorak on the run.

However, beauty requires sacrifice, and fashion adjusts all of us for itself. Therefore, one day the general public will put up with these oddities, and this type of outerwear will cease to seem strange in everyday life.

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

Models for the stronger sex, as a rule, do not have a great variety of colors. They are minimalistic, aimed at practicality and comfort.

Anoraki jackets for women are distinguished by a more elegant cut, have a wide range of colors. Such models can be delicate tones or have characteristic, "girly" prints.

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

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

Summer anoraks are light, thin, perfectly protect from rain and wind.

Demi-season anoraks (for spring and autumn) - equipped with a lining, made of denser and harder fabrics.

Fans of outdoor activities and a sporty lifestyle can come in handy with modern models of anoraks equipped with a reflective strip. These jackets will appeal not only to tourists and climbers, but also to cyclists and skaters. Anoraks, which have special 3M reflective elements, are always visible in the dark. Such a strip is capable of reflecting even the faintest light.

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

This type of anorak is borrowed by urban dandies from a suit designed for field special forces. Slide 4 of the Russian manufacturer BARS is a set of anorak and trousers made of special materials and having a specific cut. The original Slide 4 has a natural base (100% cotton) and blended linings (51% cotton, 49% polyester).

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

By the way, camouflage colors are relevant today not only on the anorak models described above, but also on the classic versions. The military style, 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 with the top made in one color (print), and the lower part of the jacket in a contrasting one.

In the coming seasons, white and black colors will not cease to be trends. Therefore, anoraks in these scales are also relevant. Combining these two trendy 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. Abstract drawings and prints of plant themes are also relevant.

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