“The jacket does not have a lot of technical features which I'd expect from a good brand (e.g., no snow skirt, very limited pockets, the wrist area is very basic and lets in cold air very easily, even for a shell jacket). The when zipped all the way up (or even near to the top of the zip), the material pulls the hood into the back of your neck at quite an odd angle, and the zip pushes into your chin/neck at an odd angle too. I've had other anorak ski jackets which did not do this, so I think it is a fault in this particular design rather than the type of jacket.
The colour and material are lovely though, and it is a good length.”
“I absolutely love the Amundsen Peak Anorak (white). The quality, the stretch, the look—it’s all incredible. As a shell, it’s perfect for layering, giving you the flexibility to adapt to any conditions. Whether on the slopes or off, this piece delivers both performance and style. Highly recommend!”
“I use wool and the anorakk and I feel cold and wet.
My arms,back and front is not freezing but I am feeling cold. I used to wear cotton before but wanted to try Amundsen anorakk. I am sorry but I am not impressed.”
“Purchased a size Large from LD Mountain centre in the UK. I'm 1.82m tall 106cm Chest.
POSITIVE POINTS - Love the feel and suppleness of the fabric. I've had C Change garments before and really rate the material. Great hood works with or without a helmet. Good sleeve length with easy to use cuffs. Nice length that covers the lower back well and works with a climbing harness. Its looks awesome on and feels really good to move in. The small mesh pocket in the chest pocket with headphone/radio port is a nice touch.
NEGATIVE POINTS - Hood brim is too soft unless wearing a helmet as it flops about in the wind - Needs wire or similar. The cordlocks on the hood are tiny and impossible to use when wearing winter gloves. The forearm pocket is a great size but would be better on the upper arm as it is more stable and is less likely to get in the way when carrying wallet nutty bars etc.
CONSIDER - Make the small mesh pocket a bit bigger so it will fit modern smartphones. Full zips on both sides so you can lift up the front of the jacket for lots of air when skinning uphill - Put some poppers on the ends of the chest pocket to hold the front up - see photo
All the above is just my humble opinion for what it's worth :)
STILL AN ACE JACKET”
“Perfect- the word is an understatement. While I was expecting more stretch in the waist, I wore it for a few minutes with the matching Desert Anorak and was in love. The fit is perfect- and I am a Brother with a larger backside. Stretch is in everywhere below the belt line. The quality is exquisite and was the very first thing I noticed. The measurements recommended on the website- when followed- will serve you well. I know that’s hard to believe when you’re gunshy about trusting size charts, but trust it. Don’t go large or small or you’ll regret it. It worked for me, just right, and it’s warm and waterproof. I was expecting delivery from Norway (I was just in Oslo 18 months ago and I’m surprised I never saw this brand) two days later but got them today. I am a believer and will never buy another brand.”
