Montbell's everyday outdoor shell, and the one that does not look like technical kit. The O.D. Anorak is cut from a matte nylon that handles like cotton — soft, no sheen — while shedding wind and light rain. As comfortable on Orchard Road as on a trail.

Specification

• Fabric: 70-denier full dull spun-like nylon tussar, water-repellent finish
• Weight: 296 g (supplier reference weight)
• Fit: unisex, relaxed
• Model: 1103247

Features

• Hooded half-zip pullover

• Hem drawcord adjustable from inside the front pockets — without taking the jacket off
• Articulated arms for reach and movement
• Adjustable alpine cuffs
• Lined collar with a zip end-guard so the slider does not sit against your chin

Care & Maintenance

• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent
• No fabric softener — it coats the fibres and kills the water repellency
• Do not bleach, do not iron
• Hang to dry away from direct sunlight
• The water-repellent finish wears off with use and washing. A wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment restores it — we stock these in-store

This is our general guidance for water-repellent nylon shells. Check the care label sewn into your garment for the definitive instructions.

Tips from X-Boundaries

Be clear on what this is: water-repellent, not waterproof. It will shrug off a passing shower and cut the wind. It is not a hardshell and it will wet through in sustained rain — if that is your trip, talk to us about a waterproof shell instead.

What it is very good at is the in-between. Cool mornings, aeroplane cabins, a wind off the water, and the whole shoulder season in Japan or Korea where a hardshell is overkill and a t-shirt is not enough.

Cut unisex and relaxed. If you usually wear a slim fit it will feel generous — worth trying on, and we hold stock at both stores.
