The Fjallraven No. 8 Anorak is a technical and premium-quality anorak, created to withstand tough use in forest and mountain environments throughout the year, even in exposed conditions. Made from a tried-and-tested blend of cotton and polyester, the anorak is wind- and water-resistant, with extra strong reinforcements at the shoulders, sleeves and seat. As part of Fjallraven's Numbers range, the No. 8 Anorak symbolises uncompromised design and quality.

Constructed with a half-length zipper, extended back and large adjustable hood, this anorak gives effective and reliable protection from the elements. The hood itself can be adjusted to fit perfectly around the head, while the new peak construction gives the option to fold it back in two different positions, depending on whether the wearer wants to prioritise peripheral visibility or protection from the wind.

When not in use, the hood acts as a generous collar, which protects and warms the neck. In warmer weather the front zipper can be opened, and the inner collar unbuttoned and folded to the side to let out excess heat. Further ventilation is provided by two long zippers up the sides which can be opened to release excess heat; they also make getting in and out of the anorak easier.

The No. 8 Anorak has been made from G-1000 Eco, an environmentally-friendly blend of organic cotton and recycled polyester, with extra durable G-1000 Heavy Duty on the shoulders, arms and lengthened back section. The fabric and details were chosen to minimise their impact on the environment (utilising leftover strips of leather for example), while also making it easy to replace exposed sections after years of use.

The large kangaroo pocket on the front of the anorak can be accessed both from the top and the sides, and all pockets feature solid zipper closures hidden underneath protective storm flaps. The waist is adjustable via a drawstring at the back, while a second drawstring allows adjustment of the lower hem; the sleeve cuffs can be adjusted with buttons. The No.8 Anorak features a particularly spacious fit, so please bear this in mind when ordering.

  • An advanced anorak for demanding treks

  • Material: G-1000 Eco (65% recycled polyester, 35% organic cotton), with G-1000 Heavy Duty at reinforced areas

  Firstly, the speed with which this small independent company sends out its orders is fantastic, and some of the bigger companies could learn from it. Now, for the actual item. There are a lot of comments regarding the sizing of this anorak, so to let you know, I am 6ft 1inches, 44 inch chest, 35 inch waist, broad shoulders. I ordered Large. It's the perfect size. Lots of room, and have worn it with a fleece underneath with no issues at all. The only (very slight) negative, is that the sleeves are long, but I would rather too long than too short, and all it took was a couple of folds. Although in more wintery weather, they will be fully down with gloves on. I have worn it quite a few times now, mainly for long walks with my dog. Its perfect. A nice big front pocket for the lead, small camera, and phone. Small pocket in the side pocket which fits my multi tool perfectly. The high collar has been really useful in some of the strong winds we have had lately on the North York coast. So glad I pressed the button and ordered it.

  Great anorak, I’m a large 41 inch chest but ordered a medium and it’s still got plenty of room. Came quickly and was much cheaper than other retailers, happy owner!

  This is an exceptional, functional piece of kit. An outer layer that is adjustable, comfortable and highly practical. Great pockets, easy to access the interior and the hood is better than anything else I've worn. Sizing is generous, so plenty of room for layering underneath. As most everyone ought know it's not a waterproof, and will let in water under heavy conditions but can be waxed if needed. This anorak has been on my list for a long time, and incredibly glad I was able to get it, particularly at the price that Woodlore offer it at.

  This is heavy duty anorak No.8 and in reality you see and sense the quality of the garment. I purchased it to wear when I go to nature and I'm living in a countryside also as everyday clothing. My height is 1.82 cm weight around 85-90kg, chest 110 cm and size L fits me well, right size. I'm glad that I purchased it!

  First of all I want to thank everyone from Woodlore team, who helped me choose the right size of an anorak, because it is bigger than you might expect. I’ve got answers straight away, these people are real professionals. I really recommend them. Thank You for your support guys. About anorak No.8 by Fjallraven it’s my new favorite. It is top notch piece of gear. I haven’t put it to its phase yet but I’m sure it won’t let me down. Quality materials, really good design, plenty of pockets, large adjustable hood, comfortable to wear, the color dark olive, is more like brown which I like. I mean if you think about getting one don’t hesitate. You won’t regret it. Yes it is expensive, but it’s one of those buy once, cry once items that last you for years to come. Thanks again Woodlore team

  Great anorak and a first class service from Woodlore. I'm 6 foot 1 and 13.5 stone and usually take an extra large in jackets but after reading lots of reviews I went for a medium which fits perfectly. However if you want to put on lots of layers maybe a large would be better choice. Overall very pleased with service and jacket.

  Excellent. Keeps wind off around lower face with high collar up, and two good walks in rain have shown it has good waterproof level. Only grumble would be lack of zipped section in main pocket to keep things handy but prevent them falling out when taking off.
