Sweet ‘roo pocket! These anorak-style jackets from Roamers, Snow Peak, and more are what’s trending this fall.

The anorak is becoming a staple for many apparel and outerwear brands. The easy pull-on design and unmistakable kangaroo pocket help maintain its reputation as timeless and functional.

This style of jacket comes in many different shapes and sizes. And while people often think about the anorak as a fashion-conscious garment, modern designs and materials help it better blur the line between style and utility.

The anoraks below are stylish, functional, and, yes, cozy. From the morning workout to traveling across the country, these anoraks are sure to keep you comfortable and looking good.

5 Stylish and Functional Anorak Jackets

Roamers Brand Bixby Anorak

Roamers stays true to its roots with a stylish, functional take on the anorak. We tried this pullover and found the cotton herringbone extremely soft and comfortable. It will break in like a favorite pair of boots and quickly become a staple of your wardrobe.

The Cloudcover Overhead is packed with features to keep you comfortable on the go. The jackets proprietary 2.5-layer Barricade technology with fully taped seams and DWR coating provide uncompromising protection.

It’s the perfect balance of style and practicality and can be used in a variety of environments. Wear it to work in the morning and on the light hike afterward. It even packs into its own pocket for easy storage.

Snow Peak 2.5L Flat Pullover

The 2.5L Flat Pullover by Snow Peak is a lightweight shell made with flame-retardant and water-resistant fabric. Pair this jacket with a warmer layer underneath to keep warm around the campfire as temps begin to drop. And if you spend the majority of your time in a concrete jungle, this jacket is as much urban fashion as cabin chic.

Jungmaven Tieton Anorak 

This anorak comes from a collaboration between Jungmaven and Manastash. The Tieton is a heavyweight, durable pullover with a simple zipperless kangaroo pocket. It’s built from a hemp and organic cotton twill, and its unisex sizing makes it comfortable for all to wear (though women should size down).

The North Face Be-Layed Back Anorak

This plush anorak from The North Face will have you feeling good during your morning workout and comfortable for coffee afterward. Its side zippers make it easy to throw on, and its water-resistant coating will get you through light precipitation. Dress it down with a pair of tights for that cool autumn run, or pair it with some nicer jeans and boots for a night on the town.
