CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Wool does not absorb odors so if it’s not visibly stained, air out your anorak in a dry place for a day or two. Should you stain your wool anorak, simply clean it with some mild soap and water by dabbing (not scrubbing) the spot. Never machine wash your anorak. For best results, dry clean.

The overall material and design is top notch, I gave it 4 stars because the eyelets on the hood came out the first time I tried using them , the cords will still cinch down but the eyelets came out.

Modern stuff sucks…Everything has been made cheap and to be replaced. This company is the exception.
Quality made for a lifetime of use.
As an outdoorsman, my gear plays a large part in my success and well being. I take it seriously and I want serious gear. Arcturus delivers….I wholeheartedly recommend them, you won’t be disappointed.

Bought the Anorak for three reasons: sustainabie (100 percent wool) , functional, durable, and keeping me warm in the outdoors. As a wildlife photographer, spend much time outdoors in all sorts of weather. The Anorak meet the criteria. Been out in weather as low as 20 and this morning spent a couple hours in a kayak in near freezing conditions with an icy rain clicking and clacking off the kayak. No binding or issues with the shoulder area as I paddled. Kept me nice and comfortable throughout. Purchased a medium size and as 5'-10" and 190 pounds was in that liminal space between the large and medium. Given that I like to layer, I would have gone one size up to large. Overall, great gear for the great outdoors. Looking forward to years of service from this Anorak.

I did a lot of research and for the price you could not beat the quality. The weight of the wool the build of the anorak the stitching as good as those high dollar ones if not better and 1/2 the price love it.

First off the hood on this is ridiculously large. They say wear a hat with it. They must mean a cowboy hat because even with a regular baseball cap that is pictured with it the hood is twice the size it should be. The 100% virgin wool is scratchy as hell. I would recommend washing it a few times with appropriate wool soap to soften. The weight and thickness of the material are really nice. It has some weather resistance from wind and rain but in my experience the shoulder patches on it seem to let water and wind in easier. It's not great putting on or taking off. Just a suggestion Arcturus but this product would be much better and worth more money if you did it as a zippered hoodie and fixed the terrible design of the hood.

I'm so happy with this Anorak. Great quality and with appropriate layers (in my case a sweatshirt) I wear it down to -20c with no issues. I use this in the bush all the time and it's standing up well so far. I have a few other Arcturus products and find them well made and affordable. It's why I keep using them.

Very happy. Sizing was right on. Warm and wind resistant. Just big enough to layer underneath. Sizing was my concern. Could be a little heavier but for the money I'm very happy

My husband has wanted one of these for a while. He kept saving up, then used the money for a family need. I decided to get him one for his birthday and he was stunned and so excited. It is exactly as described. He loves anything and everything wool, so this has become a quick favorite

So far I love it! I’ve received many compliments on how good it looks.
I primarily bought this Anorak for camping and hunting in very cold weather here in Wyoming but haven’t had a chance to test it in this manner. But, wearing it around town in 20 degree F cold with light snow I have been perfectly warm. Within these parameters, I highly recommend this Anorak.

Very impressed with this Anorak. Very well made and high quality, a real bargain for the price. The only thing I would change is I followed the size recommendation and wish I would have ordered one size bigger. Nevertheless, I am very happy with my purchase, well designed and functional, not to mention super warm.

The hood is so large it is unusable for walking around with it up
The quality of the anoraks is very good I just can't use it with the hood covers my face. The price and the construction are spot on They need to change the design. Its not like I have a Bettle Juice head. My wife says I acutely have a BIG head. I just donated it to a homeless shelter

Customer service was top notch enjoy talking to Katie, she is very helpful in selecting the the right size garment. The anorak came quickly and I'm waiting for colder weather so I can enjoy it. Thanks so much

This gear is terrific. Wearing only my base layer and this anorak in high 30s low 40s and I was perfectly comfortable. Not warm or cold just perfect. I did feel a little warm in middle 50s.
I'm confident that with my pull over and shell the anorak could easily keep me warm down to sub teens. Even colder with my cold weather base layer!

I am glad that Katie talked me into the smaller size. A pleasure to do business for PERFORMANCE GEAR with people who are experts.

Just received my Charcoal Anorak from your company. It is fantastic, the quality is top notch, shipping super fast. Ordered on September 2 and it was here by 6:15pm Wensday September 4th. I ordered a large and it fits great with a tee shirt and sweat shirt on, I then put a fleece vest over the other shirts and still had plenty of room the sleeves were just right. I highly recommend this product and store.

This anorak is extremely well made despite the reasonable price tag. I am a rancher in Montana and have been living in it during calving season. It is crazy warm but also breathable and comfortable on a 60 degree day. The kangaroo pocket has a handy interior organizer. For any ladies looking at this, the Small is a perfect fit for me at 5’8” and 155lbs. My only slight criticism is the wool can be a little rough right at the neck for us beardless folks - maybe a softer felt edge would be good? - but I am usually wearing a silk scarf so if I keep that pulled up it’s fine.

I was browsing the Arcturus website looking to purchase several more of their 100% virgin, untreated wool blankets to make an Anorak and lo and behold, they had already created one at a phenomenal price! I have already worn it to an outdoor party held in an open air pavillion in 28 degree ambient temperatures with 25 MPH wind gusts. With only a cotton tee-shirt underneath, I was very warm even while sitting. I normally wear a 2X, but went with a 3X since it would be an outer garment and the fit is just right. The only thing I would have added would be a cinch cord around each sleeve at the wrist. I am greatly pleased with the purchase and am now left wondering, when will Arcturus design and make wool pants to match !

Good fit, went with 3xl so it'd cover my firearm, as well as to layer up sufficiently underneath if need be. Only gripes I have would be that the buttons/straps for the throat overlap have ripped out, and the grommets for the pull-cord to close up the throat have become unbound and move up and down the cord now. Other than that it is a good wool anorak, however i wish the button straps and grommets didn't fail as they have.

The wool is heavier and quality much better than I expected for the price. I have a 44+” chest and a 34” waist. The large was excellent fit, allowing for an Irish knit sweater underneath and freedom of movement. Two suggested improvements: the small button (attached to a ribbon) intended to enclose the throat area in severe weather is, frankly, not thought out, looks and is cheap. I took the anorak to a tailor to get rid of the button/ribbon, make the button hole larger and install a much more substantial and secure button befitting heavy weight wool. Secondly, the nylon inner pocket of the kangaroo pouch is also very chintzy and will not stand up to wear. I think the inner pocket should be made of wool or the cordura used on the shoulders, and include a snap or zipper to keep smaller ideas secure, particularly since the pouch pocket can not be closed. Details matter to me. These issues notwithstanding, I expect to get many years of hard wear with the anorak. An excellent purchase, particularly at the sale price. Hope this helps.

Perfect sizing. Exactly what I was looking for.

Nothing like wool to keep you warm on a cold day. Thanks for the nice jacket
