Filson's winter sale has been getting a ton of attention. The retailer has been cutting prices on iconic and highly sought-after gear, including the Mackinaw Wool Cruiser Jacket, several bestselling flannels, and popular rugged accessories, among other prized gear. What caught our attention most among the dozens of deals was one warm jacket that had its price chopped in half just in time for the worst of winter.

Filson’s waxed cotton Tin Cloth jackets get all of the accolades from most outdoorsmen, but for those in the know, an insulated anorak like this one—which is made from British-made Millerain waxed cotton—can protect and keep you more comfortable in inclement weather. The simple but durable jacket is modeled after those worn by early explorers and troops who had to survive harsh Arctic weather. Their designs, in turn, were influenced by garments worn by the indigenous people of Greenland, so you know anoraks are the gold standard of cold weather jackets. The dry-waxed jacket is filled with PrimaLoft Gold which will keep insulating even when wet. Other touches include a half-length front zipper with a storm shield, a large kangaroo pocket with front snap cargo pockets, drawcord hem and hood, and double cuffs with rib-knit inners to keep out the elements.
Satisfied customers were stoked to wear this “field-ready” jacket in winter weather. One shopper called it a "super nice anorak" that's "very comfortable and warm—nice for cold days," and mentioned that “the shell fabric is softer than tin cloth and doesn’t have the normal oil finish smell.” Another shopper said: “I was so thrilled with the uninsulated version of this anorak that I jumped on the first opportunity to purchase the insulated version once it became available.”
Other shoppers were happy to see that the design details of the “beautifully made” anorak were well-thought-out. One particularly liked the pockets, saying that the “pouch pockets are deep and roomy and connect towards its top to warm bare hands if needed. The external pockets are a nice add-on for stuff you may not have as readily available.” They also like that the hood has “plenty of room and the zipper from the neck to the top of the pouch allows you to regulate heating/cooling…along with the waist drawstrings.”
If you’ve never worn an anorak in inclement weather, this high-quality Filson version should be on your list, especially at this great price. It’s a unique piece that will last forever, plus is warm, durable, and designed to beat the elements—and is a solid 40% off for a savings of over $150. Don’t pass this discount up as it will undoubtedly sell out soon, like all Filson gear.
