Anoraki Nike
Anorak is a stylish windproof jacket that does not have the traditional front closure and is worn over the head. Nike is a global brand with a name known to everyone and a long history.
This brand has established itself as a manufacturer of high-quality, but at the same time affordable clothing, both sports and daily. Nike anoraks are a must have for all time. Therefore, we will tell you in detail about the variety of these original jackets and how to choose them correctly.
Models
Both men's and women's clothing is produced under the Nike brand name. And the variety of models of anoraks of this brand is equally wide in both women's and men's collections.
Womens
For the fair sex, there are two variants of models - classic anoraks, reaching the belt line on the trousers, and elongated models that cover the buttocks.
Very interesting are the minimalistic models, equipped only with a traditional breast patch pocket and made in one color. They are made of water-repellent material, have a drawstring at the hood and a button cuff adjustment.
The hood has a shawl cut that creates a high collar when the chest zip is fully closed. The lining is in a contrasting color.
Nike women's anoraks come in both sporty and casual styles. The former, as a rule, are equipped with a mesh lining - a prerequisite for a sports windbreaker.
Everyday anorak can be either waterproof or non-membrane impregnated (designed for non-rainy weather). The unchanged attributes of Nike anoraks are the images of the company's brand name (the famous flourish) or its motto - Just do it.
Mens
This is probably one of the few cases when the variety of male models far exceeds the range of female options.Since the demand for anoraks among men is noticeably greater, the lineup of men's collections with this wardrobe item is much richer.
Here you can find a model for any time of the year, for any weather conditions. Variations of styles are also very diverse: straight fit, classic anoraks, simplified or, on the contrary, complicated set of attributes. Color solutions are endlessly varied.
There are models with or without a hood. In the latter case, the absence of this attribute, obligatory in the usual sense of the anorak, is compensated by a high collar. It provides reliable wind protection.
The accessories to keep the jacket warm will vary from model to model. Classic anoraks are equipped with drawstring at the collar, hood and hem. Sometimes the drawstring is located at the waist.
The cuff width can be adjusted with Velcro straps or buttons. On some models, elastic cuffs are sewn into them.
Sports windbreaker anorak
In the collections of the Nike brand there are entire specialized lines of anorak for sports. Each of these jackets has a number of characteristic features that are indispensable for a sports uniform.
- Lining. Any sporty windbreaker - be it a classic jacket or an anorak - must have a mesh lining. This is necessary for proper ventilation so that excess heat generated by the body during exercise is removed in a timely manner. At the same time, the lining helps to get rid of excess moisture (sweat) by absorbing it.
- A minimum of details. All fasteners on the sports anorak must be concealed. This will help to avoid unnecessary problems during training (to minimize possible traumatic moments). Also ideal for sports would be an anorak with only one chest pocket (no side pocket). The less "bells and whistles" in the jacket, the more comfortable it is to work in it.
- Special fabric. Most anoraks are made from waterproof materials. But not every such material provides free air circulation (so that the body "breathes"). This is extremely important when playing sports, therefore sports anoraks are made of special fabrics that are aimed not so much at protecting against heavy rains as at providing comfort for the body during training.
Popular colors
Since the anorak is a unisex thing, both male and female models are made, as a rule, in the same colors.
The exception is such "feminine" tones as pink, or representatives of a delicate range (cream, lilac, pale lemon). It is hardly possible to find a male anorak in this design. But the rest is full gender equality.
The most popular are two-tone models (the top for the length of the fastener and the sleeves are in one color, and the rest of the jacket is in another). These companion colors are always contrasting (white and black, red and blue, etc.).
All kinds of prints (camouflage, floral and other plant motifs, animals, birds, abstraction) are no less relevant.
Among men, the Nike Half-Zip Jacket is now especially popular - this is a three-color anorak. On his chest - on a white inset - flaunts a large company logo, originally made in two colors.
As a result, the product uses three colors: white, black and gray. This stylish monochrome fits perfectly into the currently fashionable concept of minimalism. But for lovers of bright colors, the company produces no less interesting models.
Selection Tips
Since the Nike brand is widely known all over the world, the number of counterfeit products produced under this name is unfortunately huge. In order not to run into an inauthentic thing, avoid suspiciously profitable offers, check the real cost of a particular thing on the official Nike website.
As for the quality, the distinctive features of each model, you can also familiarize yourself with them in detail on the company's website. If you are going to a retail store, make sure you have a license.
Genuine Nike anoraks come in a wide range of styles to suit every season, every purpose.
As a rule, only classic (short) models are used for sports. At the same time, an everyday anorak can be either standard length or unusual (up to mid-thigh or even up to the knee).
Since anorak is not a cheap thing, it is better to choose one universal option for all occasions. Give preference to a model that will protect from both wind and rain, and will be useful for sports if they have a big place in your life.
