Filson Ranger Anorak Dark Navy

FILSON RANGER ANORAK DARK NAVY
A weather-resistant pullover made from waxed cotton with a dry-hand feel

Filson Ranger Anorak Dark Navy combines the design of vintage Arctic gear with the weather resistance of waxed cotton for reliable protection from rain, snow and mud.

This water-repellant shell is modelled after the smocks worn by early mountaineers and WWII-era troops serving in arctic units. The pullover design was dictated by the demand for rugged simplicity in the harshest conditions, while improving packability.

FEATURES

The quarter-length front zipper is backed by a gusset so it maintains protection when unzipped, while allowing ventilation. The drawcord-adjustable hood is large enough to provide coverage for the sides of your face. For absolute dependability, the adjusting drawcords at the waist and hem simply tie off, eliminating the need for hardware. The waist ties are tucked inside the kangaroo hand pocket to prevent snagging. A snap-flap chest pocket keeps smaller essentials close at hand and secure. Double-layer back for durability and added protection. Snap-adjustable cuffs.

6-OZ. DRY-WAXED 100% COTTON

Dry wax fabric is perfect for lighter garments: multi-purpose, durable, water-repellent. But how does this fabric differ from Oil-finish?

In essence, 'dry wax cotton' and 'oil-finish cotton' are types of fabric that have undergone treatment to enhance water resistance. The concept of oil-finish fabric gained popularity among English fishermen, who treated their work jackets with linseed oil. Over time, various other substances such as petroleum jelly, beeswax, and paraffin were also employed to improve water resistance in fabrics.

In the case of oil-finish fabric, the wax component includes oil, which imparts a slightly greasy feel to the fabric. The oil saturates the fabric, resulting in a darker color, and spreads easily over the fabric when used, creating characteristic lighter stripes or a distinctive "used look" along folds. The presence of oil also adds weight to the fabric compared to other types of 'dry' wax treatments.

On the other hand, has been treated with mainly paraffin and feels anything but greasy. This cotton fabric is significantly lighter, feels much softer, and retains its breathability, which is crucial for a garment. The characteristic "used look" commonly associated with oil-finish fabric is absent in dry wax-treated fabric. The color remains uniform even when folded, and the paraffin treatment provides a certain level of stiffness to the fabric.

FILSON RANGER ANORAK FIT: Fit intent is relaxed with room for medium to heavy layers underneath.

Filson Fit General: All Filson sizes are US sizes which can be larger for a European stature, so we recommend sizing down.

If you order your own size then the fit is generous. If you prefer a slimmer silhouette, order one or two sizes smaller.
