Ventile has partnered with Norwegian outdoor apparel brand Northern Playground to launch a new lightweight anorak.

Crafted from 100% Ventile L35 cotton fabric, the anorak delivers exceptional wind and water resistance, enhanced by a PFC-free DWR finish that makes it suitable for cross-country skiing, as a windbreaker during hikes, or as a jacket in the city.

The lightweight and breathable Ventile fabric means that the anorak can easily be stowed away into its own chest pocket.

Key features include a hidden repair kit for quick field repairs, a double pull zipper on the chest pocket and two additional compartments to keep essentials secure when on the move. The anorak also features a spacious adjustable hood, a front zipper for easy on-and-off ventilation when needed, a double fabric layer on the shoulders for improved resistance, and adjustable sleeve openings.

It draws inspiration from the traditional ‘anore’ garments of the Inuits and its reduced number of components not only enhances durability but also simplifies repairs, supporting the brand’s commitment to sustainable, long-lasting fashion. With its relaxed fit and practical features, it transitions seamlessly from outdoor excursions to daily urban wear.

The lightweight anorak, priced at €385, is available at www.northernplayground.no/en/shop/the-anorak.
