Traditionally constructed of seal skin or caribou hide, the Annoraaq remains the epitome of how protective attire should function: lightweight, form-fitting, unburdened by accessories like heavy buttons or zippers. With the fewest openings, penetrations, and panels - and therefore reduced seam lengths to let in wind or water - an anorak offers the highest protection and shielding for its weight. Basically it's a pullover with a hood to wrap your head, as close to a human cocoon as you can get.
As such, it's really nothing more than an ancient version of the ever-popular Hoodie. So, who knew besides 56,879 Greenlanders that the anorak lies deep within the pre-history of Street Style? Lightweight, versatile and comfortable, every one of our favorite fleece hoodies traces its ancestry back to the venerable anorak. The anorak is still the national dress of Greenland and men wear their formal whites for ceremonial occasions. It's never been surpassed.
