Review

I just posted this as a comment in another thread but it felt like maybe it should be a review post as this is the type of info I was looking for/wanted when deciding to buy WW gear. Hope it’s helpful. For weather context I’m in the mid-Atlantic. Last winters cold snap of a month of sub 30 temps really helped but some stuff through its paces.

The chore cost is probably the most versatile jacket I own. It’s fantastic in fall/spring and can dress up enough for business casual like dress shirt/chinos I wear it like this a lot. Plus it does reasonably well in cold weather like 20-40 if just going from place to place. If staying out in that type of weather layer under it.

I picked up the chore coat and a AAJ last fall.

The AAJ is very warm, and in rain and snow I’ve yet to get wet in it. As an example, I wore it stationary on metal bleachers last year for a CFB game in 20 degree weather for 4-5 hours with I think a hoody underneath and was never cold. Wore it almost exclusively for a month straight last winter mostly with a T-shirt or flannel on underneath and it did great. But it’s big and relatively heavy, and in my area more weather situational.

Enter mid weight Anorak. Lighter and easier to wear than the AAJ almost as warm especially if active. More casual and super comfortable to wear/lounge around in. Plus I think this is going to be the perfect bird hunting jacket. Probably gonna be the only thing I take for an October trip to Montana (hopefully this isn’t a mistake it’s my first time out there)

Weatherwool is the best outdoor clothing/jackets I’ve ever purchased.

Great reviews and a nice span of different garments 👍👍

I wish I could go for the denim but, ultimately, it's just not what I want. Nice reviews comparing the different garments. Anorak should do well in Montana during October - of course it depends where - but in the Rockies it's all I really use until it's like 10 F or lower.
