Re: That Age Thing

anorak *sorry, can't do diacritical marks*  n. [Eskimo(Greenland)
anoraq.]
a heavy leather or cloth jacket with a hood, worn in the cold north.

I'm fairly certain it's similar to coats warn by Lapps and other
northerners. Has the advantage of allowing one to pull the front out and
allow a chimney effect to dump heat and moisture during work periods,
and
is fairly quick off and on for prolonged work, to avoid dangerous, in
frigid conditions, sweat buildup.

True geeks can go on for hours about them... ;->=
