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 - this one, which is also an unusual piece of clothing for many. What are anoraks - comfortable jackets that are worn over your head, so fashionable today? Learn from our article!

In modern reality, the word "anorak" means a windproof jacket, as a rule, very light, but produced from very dense fabric. Such a windbreaker is worn over the head, since it lacks the traditional fastener in front.

This item is part of professional equipment for mountain climbing and tourism.

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

Due to its convenience and practicality, anoraks began to enjoy extraordinary 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 features that make it impossible to confuse anorak with any other type of jacket.

Lack of 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 no side. This design decision is dictated by the fact that all mountaineering and tourist backpacks are mounted with a special belt in front. This closes the access to the side pockets. The height of the front pocket on the anoraks is calculated, starting from the level of attachment of the backpack belt.

Hood. Since an anorak is essentially a windbreaker, it cannot do without such a characteristic element. Often, for convenience, anoraks have the option of putting the hood in a special pocket around the gate. This option is good for tourists, so you can adjust your uniforms on the road, adapting to changing weather conditions.

Extra wind protection. Anorak always equipped with a hood hood and the bottom of the 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.

Anoraki is not by chance very popular among lovers of tourism and active lifestyle. First of all, it is convenient to carry them on yourself - they weigh little, and at the same time they very reliably protect from wind, rain and any other vagaries of weather. Secondly, it is convenient to carry them with you - such jackets are very compact, they take up little space in a backpack. And if the weather changed anger to mercy while you were on a camping trip, 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 wear resistance. And if, nevertheless, the need for repairing such a jacket appears over time, it will not be time consuming or costly. Anorak repair is a simple process.

Unlike traditional windbreakers, anorak can not be casually opened, if it suddenly became hot and wanted to be aired. Not so easy to take it off.

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

In everyday life, it is really unusual to see outerwear that is put on and off like a sweater or sweatshirt. It is not very convenient to shoot such things somewhere in a public place.

Besides - for girls this circumstance is especially important - there is a chance to damage the hair, removing or putting on an anorak on the run.

However, beauty requires sacrifice, and fashion fits all of us for ourselves. That is why the public at large will reconcile with these oddities, and this type of outerwear will no longer seem strange in everyday life.

In fact, anorak is a universal type of outerwear unisex. Manufacturers produce a wide range of all sizes and different colors. Since anorak has already ceased to be an exclusively tourist or mountaineering 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 men, as a rule, do not have much color diversity. They are minimalist, aimed at practicality and maintaining comfort.

Anoraki jackets for women are more elegant cut, have a wide selection of colors. Such models can be 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 replicas of female and male anoraks.

Over time, the production of anorak expanded, and now these jackets are created for each season, for any climatic and weather conditions.

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

Demi-season anoraks (for spring and autumn) - are equipped with lining, made of more dense and rigid fabrics.

Lovers of active recreation and sports lifestyle can come in handy modern models of anoraks, equipped with a reflective strip. Such jackets will appeal not only to tourists and climbers, but also to cyclists or skaters. Anorak, in which there is a special reflective elements 3M, always visible in the dark. Such a strip is capable of reflecting even the faintest light.

For greater convenience, such models of fashionable urban jackets, many manufacturers have begun to improve, adding to their design deviations from the classics. In particular, the practice of inserting 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 kind of anorak is borrowed from the city dandies from a suit designed for field special forces. Slide 4 of the Russian manufacturer BARS is a set of anorak and pants made of special materials and having a specific cut. The original Hill 4 has a natural base (100% cotton) and blended linings (51% cotton, 49% polyester).

The free cut of anorak Gorka Bars 4 allows you to widely use such clothing not only in the field, but also in mountain conditions.Especially important is the fact that the styles of these jackets allow you to warm with additional layers of clothing. This model is distinguished from the classical 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 type of military uniform, the colors of the anoraks Gorka 4 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 demanded in urban fashion today also suggests anorak jackets in the khaki scale.

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

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 there are many flashy colors in the upcoming season (fiesta, green flash, buttercup, etc.), designers seek to satisfy the tastes of urban dandies in this. Anoraki - both male and female - can be easily picked up in any current range.
