The Arktis A220 Mammoth Anorak is a modern update of the classic A210 Mammoth Shirt. The garment includes a concealed nylon hood, providing protection during unexpected wind, snow, and rain showers. When not in use, the lightweight hood can be conveniently packed away into the collar.
The fit of the A220 has been improved over the original A210 to allow for better movement in the shoulders and sleeves, while also offering a wider body to accommodate layering. The Mammoth Shirt features a rugged Ripstop water-resistant outer fabric and reinforced stress points for durability. The addition of Velcro adjustable cuffs ensures a secure fit. The shirt also boasts a front pocket with top zip entry, side hand warmer pockets, and a flapped document compartment for easy storage of maps, notepads, and survival gear.
The Mammoth Shirt with its fiber-pile lining is suitable for use in the harshest conditions, and it has proven its effectiveness in various settings such as the British navy, police dog handling units, and outdoor work environments. Its versatility allows it to be worn as a mid-layer under a smock or as a standalone outer garment. The garment is designed slightly loose to facilitate movement and is fully compatible with body armor options.
Sizing
This Garment follows the Arktis Mammoth anorak size guide
Features:
My go to camping in cold weather wear. It has so much room, is so warm, waterproof (with a roll up hoody), and it was one of my favorite purchases of 2023. The center pocket of the smock can fit an entire size 13 shoe in it, in case you need to know.
Comparable to super expensive civilian jackets but at a military surplus price.
Perfect for a cool night or training session. Haven’t worn it out in the rain yet but feels like it’ll be great as a layer to keep warm in the wet weather.
It is indeed water resistant, comes with a hood too that neatly folds into the collar just in case you forget your rain gear.
Side zippers are the perfect size so you can reach the pockets on a vest you might be wearing underneath it.
My application for this item is for innawoods, but it's for ops directed at 4-legged, instead of 2-legged prey. I'm using this for bowhunting in the winter here in [a mid-Atlantic state], hunting from a tree saddle. For its warming insulation, it probably would need more supplementation for places like MN, but for here, with layering underneath, this kept me comfortable in freezing (but not subzero) temperatures. It did great for the two hunts I've had in it so far, which both featured steady 20 mph winds.
FEATURES: This Anorak closes by two side zippers that extend from the armpit to the waist. I really like this closure method for two reasons:
1. It solves the kangaroo pocket problem. A central kangaroo pocket is really useful for keeping both hands warm when waiting for a deer without the need to wear gloves. A vertical, frontal zipper divides a kangaoo pocket into 2 slash pockets, which lose that heat bubble efficiency. Some other garments use a diagonal zipper that is awkward, just to save the pocket, but this system is better.
2. If you are wearing some kind of gear belt, the anorak can be zipped down just far enough to not interfere with that gear. I hunt out of a tree saddle with pouches attached, and a longer coat could potentially interfere with access to pouches and attachment points on the saddle belt. Not so with this anorak, because it can be zipped down just far enough to be closed over my torso, without encumbering access to those utilities.
The…
Super warm and comfortable. Definitely runs big! I typically wear a large in everything. I got a small and it fits just right. If you have a tshirt/hoody on. I got a large one as well. To throw on over my plate carrier if need be. The zippers on the sides make it super easy to reach your belt mounted holsters, and mag pouches. Great overall, would highly highly recommend.
