Ventile Fabric meets timeless design with Northern Playground’s new Lightweight Anorak
With a classic and timeless design, Northern Playground’s Lightweight Anorak draws inspiration from the traditional “anore” garment with origins dating back to the Inuit people

All-natural, high-performance textile manufacturer, Ventile, has partnered with innovative Norwegian brand, Northern Playground, to launch the new Lightweight Anorak – a versatile, unisex outwear piece designed for every adventure.
Crafted from 100% Ventile L35 cotton fabric, the anorak delivers exceptional wind and water resistance, enhanced by a PFC-free DWR finish that makes it suitable for cross-country skiing, as a windbreaker during hikes, or as a jacket in the city. The lightweight and breathable Ventile fabric means that the anorak can easily be stowed away into its own chest pocket.
Key features include a hidden repair kit for quick field repairs, a double pull zipper on the chest pocket and two additional compartments to keep essentials secure when on the move. The anorak also features a spacious adjustable hood, a front zipper for easy on-and-off ventilation when needed, a double fabric layer on the shoulders for improved resistance, and adjustable sleeve openings.
With a classic and timeless design, Northern Playground’s Lightweight Anorak draws inspiration from the traditional “anore” garment with origins dating back to the Inuit people. The reduced number of components not only enhances durability but also simplifies repairs, supporting the brand’s commitment to sustainable, long-lasting fashion. With its relaxed fit and practical features, this anorak transitions seamlessly from outdoor excursions to daily urban wear.
This latest addition embodies Ventile and Northern Playground’s sustainable mission by prioritising durability and multifunctionality and encouraging users to keep the products for a long time.
