A couple months ago, my Asbell Wool Anorak arrived. For those not familiar with it, it is a different garment than the popular pullovers and jackets that Teresa has been producing for some time. I thought I’d share a few pics to illustrate how it’s different.
The most obvious difference is that the anorak is longer than the regular pullover:
Another difference is that the anorak has two sets of pockets – a chest-level tunnel pocket:
which is lined with thick fleece:
and waist-level, unlined side pockets, same as found on the pullover:
The anorak also has a chest-length zipper that makes taking it on and off much easier:
The hood is the same as the other Asbell garments, which is to say “ample:”
It also sports a cinch cord on the bottom hem of the garment, allowing you to tighten it up, or to raise it to your waist and snug it up if you need to:
Personally, I really love the “Timber Ghost” plaid as a versatile camo for a lot of different environments:
Summary: I think this is a really great outer layer for hunting in winter conditions. It seems to be a thicker wool than I’ve seen on the regular pullovers, and with the additional length and fleece-lined handwarmer pocket, it’s really warm, with lots of room to layer underneath as needed. For $99, I think this is a really awesome deal for a USA-handmade wool hunting garment.
