I bought the anorak out of sentiment, as I had one as a young boy. I'm a big guy, 180 cm tall with a 140 cm chest, so for comfort I had to buy a 3XL. I like the underarm zippers—these solutions work really well during physical activity. I tested it at 5°C with just a t-shirt. For outdoor activity: Score 3/10. With an extra level 2 insulating layer: Score 6/10. With a light down jacket and the anorak: Score 8/10. Level 2 + down + anorak: 10/10. Comfort with just a t-shirt + anorak at 15°C: 8/10. At 20°C with just a t-shirt + anorak: 10/10. Remember, the kangaroo pocket: the more you put in, the more it pulls forward. You have to keep it zipped, otherwise everything falls out when you bend over. This jacket is not for everyone. Either you like this type of kangaroo jacket, or you hate it. Everyone has to decide for themselves.

Anorak of very good quality. It works great in the field. Its oversized cut allows you to freely wear a few insulating layers, which is a big plus. I recommend it.

Nice, lightweight, loose jacket made of good material. The kangaroo pocket is quite high, but it doesn't bother me. The only downside in my opinion is the visor in the hood, it's unnecessary.

I already had the green Tracer anorak and for a long time I wanted it in the RAL7013 version. At a height of 1.72 m and weight of 70 kg, size M is loose and perfect to comfortably wear the Wolfhound jacket underneath. I like that the anorak can be completely unzipped under the arms – it’s a big plus during physical activity when the weather changes.
