Helikon-Tex Anorak Pilgrim Jacket - black

Deep in the woods, a bushcrafter shrugs off a sudden drizzle and keeps working—the Helikon-Tex Anorak Pilgrim Jacket shrugs with them. This black anorak is a pullover built from DuraCanvas®, a tough blend of 63% polyester, 34% cotton, and 3% elastane that balances durability with just enough stretch. The half-zip front keeps the wind out, while the large kangaroo pocket up front stows a map, fire starter, or cold hands, with an internal organizer to keep small essentials from rattling around. Two zippered hip pockets and an internal phone pocket add secure storage, and when the trail heats up, zippered armpit vents let you dump heat fast. The adjustable hood, hook-and-loop cuffs, and drawstring hem seal out drafts, and the DWR coating sheds light rain—wax it for even more water resistance. Reinforced elbows take the abuse of kneeling, crawling, and leaning against rough bark. YKK® zippers throughout mean smooth operation season after season. Cut loose for layering over a fleece or midlayer, this jacket is ready for bushcraft, hiking, or any day when the weather can't make up its mind.
