Just got my Anorak and I'm loving it! Worth every cent and my mates that were laughing at me for spending the money quickly changed their tune once they were all shivering in their sub par garments. Keep up the great work!!!

[@chrisgibson2328]

Wow, looks beautiful.

[@MoosesGearGooReview]

Great review. It has a ton of great looking features. I really like the side zips for ventilation. Thanks for sharing it with us. Great job!

[@brianhelgeson1208]

Thanks much. 1 of the best looks at this garment I've seen so far. I don't remember seeing the top left pocket before. The knife gives great perspective on depth of pocket, not to mention all the other stuff. Good views of the entire garment. Very informative! 👁❤🏕❇🔥🥓

[@deepbludude4697]

I bought a wool anarak in a thrift store in anchorage 10 bucks still use it most functional outdoor garment I own.

[@Robert-yp9zs]

Outstanding review and modeling! I really appreciate the great detail you describe and show on all the features. Several features are just not mentioned by other reviews. Much more detailed that reviews by the "guys." Thank you so much.

[@chrsheim1105]

An actual country. I live in Michigan as well and most are wearing pink camouflage under armour hoodies looking like they are getting geared up for a big flamingo hunt so this girl is pretty legit .other Michigan girls deal with the cold by not going out until June

[@peter1bennett478]

I appreciate your review … Showing all the close ups and details that are important and knowing it will also accommodate a flask and little Bennie is super helpful...Seriouously, that little pup is always cold...……….Should I buy one I will tell them Melissa sent me.

[@WeatherWool]

Great review! --- THANK YOU MELISSA!! Really glad you like the Anorak and appreciate the long sleeves ... I don't like gloves either! --- Ralph

[@johncarlson6579]

Melissa mentioned she would provide a discount code in the description, yet there isn't one. Can you shed some light on this Ralph?

[@Hangs4Fun]

I agree, Melissa did a great job, and I've got a ton of respect for her, her skills, and her passion for the outdoors. Great product Ralph!!

[@paulwalsh2344]

Really detailed, excellent review ! Thank you !

[@warrenohuyran5401]

beautiful piece of garmet and looks to be like a real keeper, good video, you go girl.

[@neanderthaloutdoors9202]

Good review Melissa and a great product from Ralph and Weatherwool, not got one myself yet but Ralph and I are chatting 👌🇬🇧

[@pamanderson1417]

Thanks for the review! Looks like a great anorak. I will have it on my wish list and hope to get one someday.

[@briancandreva521]

Great review, I also own an Anorak, quality craftsmanship from Weatherwool!

[@Hungrybird474]

I like it 👍. My first year of 4 in Michigan in 2000 or 2001 there was a huge snowstorm and they cut us loose from Chrysler Financial early to beat the weather but they were too late . All us people in 4x4 trucks were loving it but we had to help our fellow workers with their dodge neons .

[@2manysigns]

Really nice ! Those kind of hair braids are so cool lookin .

[@coojoza]

Good review... I'm considering getting 1, just dont know which 1

[@robertmcewin8581]

you go girl,so nice to watch your vids

[@FerndaleMichiganUSA]

I miss Michigan. Great video. Thank you.

[@CJTucker-BW500]

hello there! i also have that same anorak , had it for about 5 years now. love it

[@gingebrien2408]

Mellisa you are a total babe. Would probably buy anything you were selling. I already put an order in for a Weather Wool Anorak. And just checking the reviews. Yours was excellent. Keep up the great reviews.

[@davidhopson2004]

Looks warm my friend. God bless love y'all

[@woolengrappler]

What temperatures have you worn this comfortably in? What layers do you typically wear underneath?

[@msgottaneedtoknow]

Just a few months back, I ordered two of what I “thought “ was a nice wool anorak (one for my husband and one for myself) ... to my total disappointment, it was some cheap Chinese made junk. ☹️ And yet I spent more than I could afford. Figures. I love this one. It looks extremely well made. 👍🏼

[@pranavsingh4000]

China is china. No credibility but surely cheap and good copy.

[@mychaelpierce8049]

Just ordered one. Thanks for sharing!

[@Hungrybird474]

I think wool is some of the best material for high winds . Them navy pea coats still come in handy and I like the look of those as well with some Levi’s. I also like the hooded carhaarts

[@base12productions]

I am considering purchasing. Did you get the mid weight or full?

[@sandorjozsa5880]

Hey Mel, is that a full or mid weight? Have you tried both? if yes can you tell me your opinion. I am going back and forth on which one i wanna get

[@mudm4uler]

Looks amazing!

[@garywhelansr5602]

great review.. nice anarok

[@HowToDoAnything777]

I really like it. Looks really super spiffy.

[@pederhalverson2591]

Love my anorak. Is that mid or full weight? I’m in Wisconsin so we have identical climates. Bought a mid weight, but also have a full weight on order as well as mid pants. Awesome gear! 🇺🇸👍 (awesome lady too btw 😉)

[@richrappa7906]

Very through! 👍 Were you showing the mid or full weight?

[@garybryant7274]

A nice garment for concealed carry, too!

[@msgottaneedtoknow]

I just looked and the price is now $625 or $655 for size 3X. So that price took a large leap. I’d love one. They’re beautiful but who can spend that much on something like this? I’m sure some people can do it, I’m just not one of them. What a bummer. You did a great job showing them to us. Being in northern Minnesota- I definitely would, if I could. Time to go look at a secondhand store, lol 😁

[@tjellis1479]

anorak or PS5?

[@tacticalcenter8658]

Its called saving your money. Maybe in a year you can afford it.

[@waynehead7271]

If I had that kind of money, there are definitely features that I would see as "worth it." This is only the second video of yours that I happened upon. I did also dig the fatwood necklace. The extra pice of of wood was nice. Rock on, lady ...

[@kellybelanger3685]

love it does it come in pink camo lol

[@johncarlson6579]

Where is the discount code you mentioned you would provide in the description??

[@mtphill71]

The discount code for that $600 coat is SUCKER.

[@joewoodruff7128]

Do they come in hunting orange?

[@wolf_of_odin1602]

Got one. Love it.

[@frankjames3251]

PRETTY SMILE !

[@mitchjohnson615]

Is that the medium weight or full weight wool? Thanks

[@alibaba-oq3bt]

How tall are you? I’m gonna get one for my missus (already have one for me on the way), and wanted to know what the size small looks like on a set height.

[@MelissaBackwoods]

I am 5 foot six. Please tell Weatherwool Melissa Miller sent you 😄 it is so comfortable and such high-quality! It’s amazing how soft the wool is!

[@alibaba-oq3bt]

Will do. Can’t wait till mine arrives. Thanks for the response. Keep up the good work.

[@apleparulo3958]

Is that a full or mid weight?

[@scottb.0185]

Is that the full weight?

[@TheLarousse89]

I found your channel looking at reviews of the filson anorak. I then heard your very subtle Michigan accent and I can’t place what part of the state its from but that caught me off guard lol.

Southeast. Grew up in Fenton when I was younger :)

I don't like wearing gloves or fingerless gloves but I wear wristlets and they stay of the way well enough

[@kan-zee]

raw wool comes from ‘American Sheep eating American Grass’, as they say in the US Army. The wool is cleaned, spun and woven in the USA. All Fabric is woven on a Jacquard loom, creating a 3-dimensional Fabric that enhances performance. The Jacquard is the only type of loom that can create complex patterns such as our LYNX Pattern. Use American Rambouillet Merino wool. Average fiber thickness is 21-micron, which is very fine for outerwear. Fabrics are cut and sewn into garments here in the USA. Made the best-performing Fabric we’ve been able to figure out how to make. Dyeing takes place in the USA. All of the thread, zippers, buttons, snaps, cuffs, clips, cords, accents and facings are made in the USA. There isn't anything that isn't American. We are fully compliant with the Berry Amendment. All of our owners are Citizens, American-born.

Nice! 👍🏼❤️

[@MelissaBackwoods]

Dooo ittt!

[@PeterNordBushcraft]

I would get one but not anytime soon. I subbed to your channel so all I have to do is come back and check out your video again if I cant remember the name WeatherWool.

[@Thelavendel]

pretty stylish winter outfit. If I was a girl I would get that.

[@Tiger24kicks]

Was going to get it but $600 is to much went with a North Face Anorak jacket and picked up a theromoball goose down to wear under all for $375. If this jacket was $200 I would of picked it up.

[@milesc.anthony2811]

They have great products that I won't spend that much money on...what's "Naked And Afraid"?

[@TheOtherWinchester]

This is gonna be random as all get out, but I just got the BIGGEST Astrid from HTTYD vibes from you!

[@msgottaneedtoknow]

LMAO! 🤣😂. But true!

[@dteun]

You should check out woolpower a Swedish brand!

[@msgottaneedtoknow]

Are they as expensive? There has to be a cheaper version that is still well made and nice. These are $625 to $655.

[@danielguadian2716]

😅😅😅 I dont usually subscribe to girl channels, but i did to yours. I liked your review. You seem smart & sensible & I like your humor😅,looking forward to your other videos.

do you think it will help keep your brain warm as well?

U should check out arteryx clothing its pretty good. Hope ur doing alright miss.

[@davidhopson2004]

How much are they

[@jaskey]

According to the website on linked in the description, it's $585.

[@msgottaneedtoknow]

As of 08/2021 they are $625 and $655 for the 3X size. They are gorgeous but there is no way some of us can afford that much.

[@biggest23]

Swanndri, the original and still the best of this style.

[@chrisbrassfield2369]

Very nice

[@alexstrouse6333]

Holy expensive ha damn!

[@dougallen7890]

At $600 no thanks!!!

[@msgottaneedtoknow]

Try $625 - $655 now.

[@YouGotMyAttention]

Hey Melissa, could you provide your body size and weight? I am torn between XS and S. My size is 1,78 and 155lbs. thank you.

[@tanglediver]

i hate getting hit by falling frogs.

[@barrychase9969]

How much?

[@martindunwell6099]

Ralph sent me the anorak about 6 months ago hear in the UK I've hunted for 50 years now and tried everything and I mean everything but nothing comes anywhere near this garment it's just the best and if you are to cheap to pay out for it and won't invest in yourself then thats your problem

I want to take Melissa gold mining!

[@dothedewinme]

Really? 500-1000 dollar jackets? You do (yes you anorak, not Melissa) realize your target demographic is not Silicon Valley people? I’m from the valley ins CA when everything is expensive but damn this is next level nope. Other than the price it’s pretty cool

[@msgottaneedtoknow]

No doubt. I’m in northern Minnesota and I would LOVE one of these but there is no way in the world I could afford one. I’m shocked at how so many people are just like - “Oh, cool, I just ordered mine!” Like it’s just a drop in the bucket. 😳 I wish !

[@jonnyboat2]

Hmmm, buy anything from their website or eat for six months. If I see one at Goodwill, maybe I’ll get one.

Michelle A, well I thought that was a little funny anyway, enough for a like. If you know Melissa, tell her to wear gloves. Arthritis loves cold damp Michigan weather more than anything. My hands show the evidence of 40 years of milking cows in Michigan. I don't really mind the pain but she might.

If 50 sale for her she gets hers free. Lol 😅

[@joebuck4496]

Wow you are 5’6” and that’s a small?? Hmm I don’t know if I would want the sleeves that long or not. If I want it to fit like yours I’d go medium. I’m torn, your sleeves look TOO long and if I wanna avoid that I’d get a small, however you do make a good point that you don’t want an exposed draft on your stomach when you lift your arms over your head.

[@MelissaBackwoods]

Well I’m technically 5’5 1/2 haha This is an older model, they have updated their models and the sleeves are a little bit shorter, I’m pretty sure they do free returns :)

[@joebuck4496]

@@MelissaBackwoods well I received my WeatherWool All Around Jacket in medium and I’m a bit blown away by how incredible the quality is, I feel like I own a rich person’s garment. The fit is great too. I know that anoraks are a bit more liberal in how they fit, it seems like it’s ok to have a sloppy fit lol, but after seeing the quality of WeatherWool I don’t even care anymore I want anything from this place. If it fits me like a 4 person tent and the sleeves come down to my knees it’s fine as long as it’s a WeatherWool haha
