What type of clothing is an anorak?

If you’ve ever seen a hooded pullover jacket with a clean, sporty silhouette and thought, “What do you call that?”—you’re looking at an anorak. It’s a timeless outerwear piece built for movement and made to brave light rain and wind, now reimagined for teams, events, and modern brands through promotional anorak jackets.

The quick definition

An anorak is a hooded, lightweight pullover jacket—usually with a half-zip or quarter-zip, a front kangaroo or zip pocket, and adjustable details (drawcord hood/hem, elastic or velcro cuffs). Traditional anoraks are windproof and often water-resistant, keeping you comfortable without the bulk of heavy coats. Unlike a full-zip windbreaker, an anorak’s pullover design gives it a sleek, uniform look that reads sharp on and off duty.

Core features you’ll notice

  • Pullover silhouette for a streamlined fit and fewer failure points than full zips

  • Weather-minded fabrics like tightly woven polyester or nylon with durable finishes

  • An all-conditions hood (often with a visor or drawcord) for quick coverage

  • Utility pockets—from classic kangaroo pouches to concealed zip pockets for IDs or radios

  • Easy packability—many styles compress into their own pocket or stash neatly in a bag

Where anoraks shine

  • Field teams & outdoor crews: Ideal for site walks, campus tours, delivery, and logistics—light, protective, and logo-ready.

  • Sports & campus life: Warm-ups, sideline gear, and fan merch with a cohesive team look.

  • Events & brand activations: Uniform enough for staff, stylish enough for giveaways—your branding stays front and center.

  • Daily commute: A reliable layer for unexpected drizzles and chilly workspaces.

Why brands love promotional anorak jackets

Anoraks give you high-impact branding on a modern canvas. The chest and pocket zones are prime real estate for embroidery, silkscreen, or sublimated panels—while the streamlined profile keeps uniforms looking polished. They’re also unisex, size-inclusive, and layer-friendly, so outfitting an entire team is straightforward.

Custom touches we can craft

  • Precise embroidery for logos and crests

  • Silkscreen prints for bold graphics that pop

  • Color-blocking to mirror your brand palette

  • Practical add-ons (ID loops, reflective trims, name personalization)

Care tips to make them last

  • Machine wash cold, gentle cycle

  • Hang dry to preserve coatings and shape

  • Avoid bleach and high heat to keep colors vibrant and finishes intact
