Fjallraven Anorak No.10 - Tarmac

  1 of 5

  Great jacket. I am 2 meters high. I first was concerned, that it might be too small with XXL, but it fits perfectly. I am also a little bigger. There are many ways to customize the jacket for your body. The wire in the hood is great. The hood itself is very large. First time in my life, that the hood covers the entire head and face.

  I wanted something for gardening, light forestry and everyday wear. To be protective from plants etc, wind and sun.. Living in the Lake District UK now, but will return home to sub tropical north NZ. I was deciding between the No.8 and No.10. The 10 fits the bill as it is lighter and easier to move in. I think being lighter it is more versatile for layering. The 10 is beastier, would be better for cold winds and if you wanted to run through gorse bushes. The 10 doesn't have the extra storm flap at the neck, and the fabric is thinner and breathes better. I won't wax it for rain protection myself, as I don't think it would take much wax/do much. The hood is excellent. Big, well adjustable and protects nicely. Good enough to be a sun hat, and the feature I wanted most. My intention is to use this as part of layering, either under a rain jacket, or over or under a Swanndri. (Over fits snug but fine) I am 181cm tall, 91cm chest and the small is perfect. The zips are no-brand, seem alright, hopefully will hold up ok. I can see the nod to fashion, the leather logo on the shoulder, the leather zip toggles (I've removed all except the pit vent ones for access), though the leather ends on the front hood adjustors are good for weighing down the strings in the wind. The leather looks nice on it, and the garment is well made, well designed and looks good. I would have liked a little more length, but I am used to a Swanndri and 'the NZ style' I guess. It is roomy, the ventilation zips are good size and work well. Overall I think it's very good for what I want it for. Service from the Ray Mears team was excellent, thank you.

  My concern with the anorak purchase was the fit. I am 6 foot 3 inches and 260 lbs. I ordered the XXL even though I thought it might be tight. It fits. The garment meets the expected Fjallraven quality. I have waxed it and it works and wears as advertised. I was on the sailboat last weekend and the anorak kept the wind out and kept me dry. Very pleased with the purchase. I am in the US and delivery time was one week. I will be testing on my motorbike and hiking in the coming weeks and Fall weather.

  Very light and packable anorak. Looks good and has many useful features from vents under the arms to a stand up collar in the cold wind. You won't be disappointed.
