Ventile x Northern Playground
Ventile has teamed up with Norwegian outdoor brand Northern Playground to introduce a new lightweight anorak designed for both outdoor adventures and everyday use.
Made from 100% Ventile L35 cotton fabric, the anorak offers excellent wind and water resistance, further enhanced by a PFC-free durable water-repellent (DWR) finish. This makes it an ideal choice for cross-country skiing, hiking, or city outings. The breathable and lightweight Ventile fabric allows the anorak to be conveniently packed into its own chest pocket for easy storage.
Key features include a concealed repair kit for quick fixes, a double-pull zipper on the chest pocket, and two additional compartments for secure storage while on the move. It also features a spacious, adjustable hood, a front zipper for better ventilation, reinforced double fabric on the shoulders for added durability, and adjustable sleeve openings for a customizable fit.
Inspired by the traditional ‘anore’ garments worn by the Inuit, the anorak is designed with fewer components, making it both more durable and easier to repair. This aligns with Northern Playground’s commitment to sustainable and long-lasting fashion. With its relaxed fit and functional design, it seamlessly transitions from outdoor adventures to everyday urban wear.
