Sprayway Anakin Pro Jacket
Because of the looser, more relaxed cut, we treated the Anakin mostly as a walking jacket and it did a good all-round, pack and forget until needed job for us

What's It For? The Anakin Pro is part of Sprayway's lightweight Versa Lite range of packable lightweight clothing designed to be used for 'climbing, walking, paddling and travelling, whatever the time of year or weather conditions' it says here.

The Anakin Jacket? In Goretex?

So Paramo really is the dark side?   Will we be looking to buy the Paramo Vader Jacket soon - with special heavy breathing effect if that one's hood doesn't fit so well?

I'm still holding out for the furtech "Chewbacca" hooded smock-trousers-gloves combo

About time that less fabric, less seams, less features, less weight, less bulk also meant less money!

i've just seen the Anakin jacket on sale at Gooutdoors for £85. Great price if you can find on that fits you. The neck is a bit odd, mind you

I've got an old 'bathmat' fleece that's fairly Chewbacca-esque (Karrimor Sentinal).

Some other sizes are available here for £120, still seems a good deal if you haven't got a big head - or do these discounts mean a Mark II is already on the way?

The matching pants are also not a bad price - £90 here. Come in different leg lengths too.

They could be samples.

Another dubious naming thing is the "pro" business.  I don't think a Jedi's renumeration package has ever been discussed, maybe they're all talented amateurs...

I think they are going to come out with an insualted one designed for high altitude use. Its called the 'Skywalker'.

HA! Did you see what I did there?

Posted: 27/01/2009 at 14:26

It's like a joke... but not as funny!

Posted: 27/01/2009 at 14:36

I'll have a luke when it comes out then

Pete,

given Yoda was 900 years old when he dies in ROTJ and he was living in a quagmire... he was either a divorcee or the salary was a bit feeble.

Posted: 27/01/2009 at 14:47

900 years in a quagmire? he must have had some good kit.

Note the baggy cut and grungy colour - it's clearly Paramo

Posted: 27/01/2009 at 16:49

lol. a lot.

Posted: 27/01/2009 at 18:06

as i'm about the same height as Yoda, can someone tell me where he shops? his inside leg's got to be the same as mine.

Posted: 27/01/2009 at 18:49

... the capillary depression force runs strong with this one...
