Jackets & Outerwear

What type of jackets and outerwear are available at Anaconda?

We've got a huge range of jackets and outerwear at Anaconda, so you can stay comfortable as you brave the cold - no matter what you're doing. Let's take a look at some of the different options we have available.

Down Insulated jackets provide the best warmth to weight ratio available. Down jackets offer superior insulation because the down creates thousands of tiny air pockets which trap warm air. This helps retain heat and keeps you warm.

Fleece jackets are soft, breathable, quick-drying and moisture-wicking, making them perfect for wearing over a base layer.

Pullovers are great as a middle layer to wear between your base layer and jacket. This enables you to adapt to changing weather conditions by adding or removing layers.

Rainwear is indispensable if you're looking to spend time outdoors. Anaconda's huge range of raincoats and rain jackets will help you stay warm and dry - even when it's bucketing down.

Soft Shells are versatile jackets and great for all kinds of outdoor activities. Designed to bridge the gap between a fleece and a waterproof jacket, a softshell jacket is made by bonding two layers of fabric together.

Vests are perfect for keeping your core insulated, while providing your arms with full range of motion. Vests also take up less room in your pack, so can provide added versatility when worn with a fleece or pullover.

Which is the best jacket or outerwear?

The best jacket for you will obviously depend on what activities you'll be using it for and where you'll be wearing it. It's also a good idea to weigh up whether a single warm jacket is best for you as opposed to wearing multiple layers. In many cases, wearing multiple thin layers will keep you warmer than a single thicker layer because warm air is trapped between the layers and acts as an insulator. This is great because you can adapt to any changes in temperature or weather conditions that may arise.

However, it can take more organisation to ensure you have the necessary layers on hand every time you want to go out, and for this reason sometimes a single warm jacket is preferable as it means you can quickly grab it as you're heading out the door.
