The Bergans Morgedal Backcountry Anorak is a classically shaped, over-the-head smock designed primarily for winter wear, and is ideal for use when cross-country skiing. Made from 100% EPIC® Cotton, the tightly woven fabric offers protection from wind, rain and snow, yet is light enough for use in warm weather as well. The Norwegian village of Morgedal, from which the jacket takes its name, is known as the 'cradle of skiing'. As such, the Morgedal Anorak is the perfect garment for cross-country skiing, and comes highly recommended for students of our Telemark Skiing Expeditions.

Benefits of EPIC® Cotton:

  • Windproof and water repellent
  • Highly breathable
  • Retains body heat
  • Quick drying
  • Lightweight and packable
  • Anti bacterial
  • Anti mosquito
  • UV protection
  • ECO-safe
The Morgedal Backcountry Anorak is a premium cotton smock, made with durable, top-quality materials and plenty of attention to detail. The attached hood features a wire-rimmed peak for excellent visibility in snow or rain, as well as a Velcro attachment point for the Bergans Fake Fur Trim for use in extreme cold. The jacket is shaped to include an extra-long back panel to keep draughts out, while the elbows are articulated to allow improved freedom of movement when skiing and trekking. The high front zip is covered with a soft chin protector for added comfort, and roomy hand-warmer pockets are included to finish it all off.

How does the Morgedal Backcountry differ from the standard Morgedal Anorak?
While the standard Morgedal Anorak is adorned with a number of bright patches and logos across the chest and sleeve, here at Woodlore we felt that a more subtle, understated look would better suit the wilderness' that this garment is designed for. As such, Woodlore have worked together with Bergans to create the Morgedal 'Backcountry' Anorak. Free of the standard colourful badges, the Backcountry model comes in Dark Khaki and features only two small logos in complimenting colours - the Bergans script logo on the chest and the classic Birkebeiner logo on the right sleeve. The Morgedal Backcountry Anorak is exclusive to Woodlore.

The Bergans company has now been in existence for over a century, beginning in 1908. Among the scores of new inventions devised by founder Ole F. Bergan, one in particular made the Bergans name famous worldwide - the rucksack with a frame. Since then, the Bergans brand has maintained its reputation as one of the frontrunners in the outdoor clothing and equipment industry.

Lightweight (but robust) and versatile. Even better than that, it´s reliable.
Bergans Morgedal Backcountry Anorak - Dark Khaki reviewed by customer Steve Williams on 3rd April, 2013
I have to say I first saw these on other students in the Arctic and at the time I didn't see much difference from my windproof army smock. However, I thought I would give one a try and I'm very impressed. This coat is light tough and super water resistant, it is also currently on a trip in the highlands with me.

For the last number of weeks I have been putting this smock to the test in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia. I’ve had it out snowshoeing in some really nasty terrain and more than a few snowstorms; I’ve also used (continued...)

Great smock for the money, tested in the very cold/snow (-4) & some fine drizzle we had in Feb here on the Isle Of Wight. Stood on Boniface Downs in very high winds, not a problem for this smock. Great when used with layers, after an hour of persistent fine drizzle the smock was still dry on the inside. No need to knot the waist cinch, I just wind mine round the back of the toggle and up and through then over the stop toggle, all nice and neat.

This is a great looking anorak. My only gripe would be the draw strings are too thin, and need to be knotted. I haven´t tested it in bad weather yet.
Bergans Morgedal Backcountry Anorak - Dark Khaki reviewed by customer Craig Kemp on 26th February, 2013
A fantastic anorak and fantastic service... The anorak is light and comfortable on and a great fit. I'm 6'8 and athletic build and the XL is a perfect fit with enough length in the body and arms. The rain just spills off this jacket and there is enough room to layer up underneath as required. Must also mention the excellent service - had to return a rogue initial jacket as the elastic hem snapped first time I put it on; these guys had a new jacket out to me in 2 days.

I love the look of this anorak; it reminds me of my very first many years ago before goretex or even neoprene-backed nylon! Very comfortable to wear with a good length to overlap your trouser top. Plenty of room to fit over (continued...)
Bergans Morgedal Backcountry Anorak - Dark Khaki reviewed by customer Stewart Lomax on 13th February, 2013
Fantastic anorak, great colour, quiet and ideal for nature photography as it ticks all the boxes. The only reason it did not get 5 stars is that the draw cord fasteners are weak and have a tendency to slip. The service, packaging, delivery, and pre and post sales service is excellent and I will definitely be using Woodlore again. Thank you.
Bergans Morgedal Backcountry Anorak - Dark Khaki reviewed by customer David Eccles on 2nd February, 2013
After a week walking and working in the peak district it has shown to be equal to any three layer gore tex jacket, with a couple of nice finishings on the zips with nice big finger rings ideal when wearing gloves.
