Snowcrew Anorak - Men's

Warm Powda Killa

This Anorak is super warm, very wel vented, and the kangaroo pouch on the front is clutch. I've always been a huge anorak fan, especially for deep days, but they can be troublesome to get on, and even more so if you're heavily layered. OR solved that issue with a very convenient and secure side zip, so there's no more struggling to pull this over your shoulders. Easy on, easy off, and the side zipper hasn't had any water infiltration. All pocket zippers are holding up very well and are easy to use, even when the paws are a little chilly. My only complaint with the camo is that it works too well. You will blend in, and your friends will ski right past you without ever realizing it. No joke

Fashionable and Functional

Great price for a cold weather jacket. It's well layered with insulation zippers to make it more breathable if need be. It runs a little bigger than expected, but can be adjusted to fit. Really like everything about it.

Very comfortable and warm on the mountain. Pit zips and side zipper work great for managing heat. Kept out snow and ice well with the adjustable fit around the waist. It has a bit of an oversized fit that isn’t my favorite. Good shell layer for resort skiing or snowboarding but wouldn’t necessarily recommend for backcountry applications.

Snowcrew anorak

Very nice piece of kit. As always very good quality and materials used. 4 star due to fit, ordered a large and fit slightly larger than I anticipated. Will be sweet while carving up the hill once the snow comes back.

Warm and waterproof

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Got this jacket on the cheap during a sale, brown and blue. By far best ski jacket I’ve ever had. Ample pockets, very warm, used the armpit vents a lot even below freezing. Got tons of compliments

Solid jacket - Waterproofing Could Be Better

I bought this jacket in January 2024 as my current ski jacket was getting old and was letting in water every-time I went skiing. I primarily ski at Whistler, BC and therefore require a good waterproof jacket due to the wet conditions. This jacket has a lot of awesome features (eg. the double kangaroo pouch on the front is perfect for accessing your phone, wallet, keys etc. quickly) and has good ventilation. After skiing with this jacket for 3 months now in a variety of conditions, I would say the following: - It is warm not the warmest, but it's perfect for anywhere from 0 degrees all the way down to -20 (so long as you have good layers underneath too). - Waterproofing is good, not great. I have gotten wet with the jacket on a few times now in wet snow conditions which was very disappointing. This is the biggest drawback I would say. I spent the money on this coat, looking for quality and it just doesn't quite hold up in wet conditions. I have treated it with waterproofing Nikwax, so I am hopeful this will improve the waterproofness, however a jacket this expensive that claims to be waterproof, should be able to protect you from wet snow. - Fits nicely and looks great - this was at the bottom of my priority list but is a definite plus with this jacket - Has an awesome hood which easily fits over your helmet on wet/windy days. - Zippers are a bit niggly and can be easy to snag/catch on material due to their size. Would have made these larger and more durable in my opinion.

Wish it had a lift pass pocket

I love how comfortable and warm the Anorak keeps me. As well as the fact that it has a large kangaroo zippered pouch, and then the higher pouch on the chest. It's also really convenient for the side zips to open so when I get warm, I can open them a little bit to cool me off. I just wish the Anorak had a designated ski lift pass pocket. I tend to keep it in the higher chest pouch, but it does seem to move around and then I have to take out the pass itself and scan it.

Love my new Ski Jacket

I was a bit thrown off at first by the "pull-over" style of the jacket, however the side zipper allows you to get it on quite easily. Once on, the rubberized inner layer does an excellent job keeping snow out and keeping you dry (I have fallen in a few huge powder bowls with this coat on already, and stayed completely dry underneath). I was also worried about the waterproofing of the jacket, as many companies claim that their clothes are waterproof, but in actuality, you still get soaked if you use them for any length of time in outdoor activities. Luckily, this Anorak jacket performs as it claims. The water beads off of it, and the under-arm zips allow you to breath and vent heat when you are skiing hard. Finally, I love the little kangaroo pocket, with the fleece lining. It's an awesome spot to warm up your hands and is super comfy. This jacket definitely exceeded my expectations. Well done OR!

Great & cozy

Ended up loving this jacket more than originally anticipated. Super warm and actually feels like a puffy with a wind layer over the top. I'm 200 lbs 6 ft and got a large which fits great with extra room
