Reykjavik Half-Zip Anorak Windbreaker
How to spot the original Reykjavik
The half zip sits on a black tape and runs from the chin to mid-chest, with black hood cords and toggles either side, so it pulls on overhead and closes high.
A big kangaroo pocket sits below a stitched band across the chest, with a zip along one side, and there is a separate zip pocket on the upper left sleeve.
The hem is shorter at the front and dips lower at the back, with toggle drawcords at both sides, so it stays put in the wind and covers you when you bend.
The anorak
A half-zip anorak windbreaker that pulls on
It goes on over your head, leaving fewer gaps for the wind, and the half zip closes high under the chin.

Drawstrings at the hood and hem seal out the weather. The pockets keep your phone, keys and snacks safe on a long walk, and nothing falls out when you bend down.
The Reykjavik anorak pulls on over the head, with a half zip at the neck that gives it a sporty, retro look inspired by classic outdoor gear. It blocks the wind on breezy days, keeping you comfortable on walks, festivals, beach days and weekend outings. Its simple shape feels easy and relaxed, perfect for active days.
The fit
Longer at the back, XS to L
The chest measures 116 cm on the XS up to 128 cm on the L; the back is 72 to 76.5 cm, longer than the front.
The dipped back keeps you covered when you sit or bend.
Take your usual size for a relaxed fit. Every measurement is listed in the size guide below, so you can check it against a jacket you own.
It is longer at the back, so it covers you when you sit on a bench or bend down, and the relaxed fit leaves room for a jumper underneath. The hood offers quick cover from drizzle, and a front pocket holds your phone, keys and snacks.
How to wear it
Six colours
Wear it with leggings and trainers for a walk, or wide jeans and a sweatshirt at the weekend.
Lemon, cobalt, pink and lime are bright; lilac is soft; black is everyday.
Choose your colour and size above — free UK delivery. It is the fun, easy jacket for beach walks, festivals and days out, and it looks great in holiday photos.
Black, yellow, blue, purple, neon yellow and pink range from classic to bright and fun. A quick wipe with a damp cloth deals with most marks; for a deeper clean, wash it gently in a laundry bag and hang it up to dry. It packs small into a bag and dries quickly after a shower. It makes a cheerful gift for teenagers, festival-goers and anyone who loves the outdoors. It is light enough to carry all day without noticing it.

Questions and answers
How do I choose my size in this anorak?
It comes in sizes XS to L. The size guide on this page gives measurements of the anorak itself, taken flat: chest, front length, back length and sleeve. Measure a similar anorak you own, laid flat, and compare it with the chart; free UK delivery and 30 days to return give you time to check the fit at home.
How do I wash this anorak?
Spot clean small marks with a damp cloth. For a full clean, a gentle 30°C wash in a laundry bag or a dry cleaner — check the label inside. Hang on a wide hanger so the shoulders keep their shape; brush lightly after wear.
How do I keep a rain jacket shedding water?
Skip fabric softener, which coats the shell and stops rain beading. Wash it gently with the zips closed and hang it to dry. If rain stops beading after many washes, a spray-on or wash-in reproofer from any outdoor shop brings the finish back.
What should I wear under this rain jacket?
A long sleeve top or a light jumper on mild days, and a fleece or a chunky knit when it is cold. To check there is room underneath, measure a rain jacket you own across the chest and compare it with the size chart on this page.
