The Arctic Anorak©

The Arctic anorak is the perfect wind-sheltering system. It is purposely designed wide and long to protect you even when bending over or reaching up over your head. We added a visor to the hood so you can comfortably wear our wool anorak as an underlayer without its hood getting wet. Sourced from the USA, our new Fall 2021 fabric is also water repellent. Available in 3 colors.

Note: We recommend you choose a loose fit in order to allow air to circulate within your insulation.

Fabric: 100% cotton, 10.10 oz treated army duck

Why a BMA anorak?

Inspired by traditional Indigenous outer shells, BMA anoraks are handmade in Canada with a commitment to provide you with heirloom quality, functional garments. Our anoraks are designed with a focus on thermal regulation– we make them wide and long to protect your vitals and allow for layering. In addition, we think reliability is especially important when out in the bush so we actively avoid using hardware that can fail like zippers and snaps. From the gauntlet to the sleeves to the kangaroo pocket, every detail was meticulously thought out to maximize your warmth and comfort while exploring nature.

BMA’s Dual Layering System

For all of you layering enthusiasts, we recommend one of our canvas anoraks to be worn over our wool anoraks. While each can be worn on their own, this combined layering system – wool inside, canvas outside – will keep you extra warm and dry. If you are considering two layers, we recommend starting with only a woolie first. Also, remember that your canvas anorak will likely need to be larger than your woolie so you can layer comfortably. For questions or more information about our dual layering system, feel free to contact us before your purchase and we’ll be happy to walk you through the process.
