I bought this anorak for sentimental reasons – as a young boy, I had a similar one. I am 180 cm tall and have a 140 cm chest, so I had to choose size 3XL for a good fit. I really appreciate the underarm zippers, which are great during physical activity. I tested it at 5°C, wearing only a t-shirt – while moving, the comfort level is average (rating 3/10). With an additional insulating layer (level 2) – the rating goes up to 6/10. The anorak worn over a lightweight down jacket rates 8/10, and the full set: level 2 + down + anorak offers maximum comfort (10/10). Just a t-shirt with the anorak at 15°C is 8/10, and at 20°C it's perfect comfort (10/10). It's worth remembering that the more stuff you put in the kangaroo pocket, the more the jacket pulls forward. You always have to keep the pocket zipped, otherwise things will fall out when you lean over. This jacket is not for everyone – you either like the kangaroo style or not at all. Everyone must decide for themselves.

Very high quality anorak. It works great when used outdoors. Thanks to the loose, oversized fit, you can easily wear several insulating layers underneath, which is a big advantage. I definitely recommend it.

A pleasant, light, and comfortable jacket made of solid material. The kangaroo pocket is placed rather high, but that's not a problem. The only drawback in my opinion is the visor in the hood, which I find unnecessary.

I already had the Tracer anorak in green color and had wanted to have it in RAL7013 color for a long time. For 1.72m / 70kg, the M size is generous and perfect for wearing a Wolfhound jacket underneath without feeling too tight. The anorak is well designed and I love the fact that you can open the entire area under the armpits, which is useful if you do physical activity in changing weather.
