Anorak<\/strong> is a term of Eskimo origin referring to a warm garment<\/strong> that shows Hood<\/strong> (a piece that covers the head<\/strong>). The anorak is characterized by being waterproof<\/strong>: water cannot pass through your fabric.<\/p>\n

It is possible to define the anorak as a type of jacket<\/strong> or jacket<\/strong>. It is currently manufactured with nylon, satin and other fibers depending on the model.<\/p>\n

\"Eskimo\"<\/p>\n

The anorak is a type of coat created by the Eskimos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Origin of the anorak<\/h2>\n

The anorak was created by the eskimos<\/strong> or inuits<\/strong>, Aboriginal peoples that inhabit the Arctic region. Specifically, the anorak is believed to have arisen in the Aleutian islands<\/strong>, an archipelago whose islands lie between the kamchatka peninsula<\/strong> (belonging to Russia<\/strong>) Y Alaska<\/strong> (USA<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

At first the anorak was made with skin<\/strong> seal<\/strong>. Then it started to be used too reindeer skin<\/strong>. To contribute to waterproofing, the Eskimos could impregnate the anorak with fish oil<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

With this garment, the Eskimos sought to protect themselves from rainfall and low temperatures while moving in kayak<\/strong> or they were hunting. With the passage of time, the anorak and other similar coats began to be used by other peoples and cultures, being produced at an industrial level.<\/p>\n

The garment today<\/h2>\n

Today the anorak is a jacket or jacket that is used in many countries<\/strong>. There are anoraks of different materials, designs and styles.<\/p>\n

According to their features<\/strong>, the anorak is used as a informal garment<\/strong> or as a Formal Jacket<\/strong>. Thus there are anoraks more appropriate for everyday use on the street and others that are used at dinners, galas and evening events.<\/p>\n

\"Jacket\"<\/p>\n

The anorak has characteristics similar to those of the parka.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Generally, the anorak extends to the knee. Many times it has a skin covering, either artificial or natural, to make it warmer and more suitable against temperatures<\/strong> Very low.<\/p>\n

Differences between anorak and parka<\/h2>\n

The anorak is similar to another garment<\/strong> waterproof: the parka<\/strong>. The term parka comes from the Russian language, although its more distant etymological origin is found in a Samoyed word that can be translated as \"fur coat\"<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Royal Spanish Academy<\/strong> (RAE<\/strong>), in its definition of a parka, emphasizes that this coat is padded on the inside. On the anorak, the RAE highlights the presence of a hood. Therefore, at least as far as the dictionary goes, the distinctive feature of the anorak is the hood, while the parka is always padded.<\/p>\n

In the colloquial language<\/strong>In any case, the differences are often left aside. That is why it is common for certain garments to be called anorak or parka interchangeably.<\/p>\n

A type of diver<\/h2>\n

It is important to underline, on the other hand, that an anorak is also mentioned as a type of jumpsuit or diver that has a hood<\/strong>. Unlike the traditional anorak (i.e. jacket), it does not have zipper<\/strong> or closing<\/strong> that allows it to be opened and the garment worn underneath exposed.<\/p>\n

In this case, the anorak belongs to the informal dress. It is unusual for someone to wear a Diver<\/strong> or anorak jumpsuit on an occasion that requires elegance.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n
