Muir Anorak Jacket - Topo Forest Green/Navy

Extremely light and packable, decently waterproof.

High quality products from a womdrtul local business. Great value!

Full disclosure: I'm David, the founder of Rainier Watch, and I've been wearing this jacket almost every day since we finally got it right.

I started working on the Muir Anorak almost a year ago. And I mean actually working on it, not just approving a sample. We went through close to half a dozen iterations before I felt good about it. For a while I was testing versions with a generic topo print, and every time I looked at it I knew something was off. It didn't feel like us. The whole point of this jacket is that it's made for people who actually care about the mountain, so the only print that made sense was Mount Rainier, pulled from real USGS topo data. Once we locked that in, everything clicked.

The jacket itself is built for PNW weather, which basically means it needs to handle anything. It's 100% recycled nylon ripstop, packs down small, and sheds rain without making you feel like you're wearing a trash bag. The waterproof zippers and paracord pulls are small things you don't think about until you're fumbling with a zipper in the rain and suddenly very grateful. The kangaroo pocket up front fits more than you'd expect, the bungee at the waist keeps wind out when you actually need it to, and the elastic cuffs seal things up nicely without cutting off circulation.

I've had mine on ferry rides, trail runs, and a lot of coffee shop runs where I just didn't feel like changing. It goes over a midlayer no problem, and when the sun comes out it stuffs into itself and goes in your pack.

It's my go-to this spring. I think it'll be yours too.

Part of every purchase goes toward protecting our National Parks. Happy to be out there with you.

See ya on the trail.
