Island Water Sports Skate Anorak Windbreaker
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built for the Skate Crew, Ready for Anything
The Island Water Sports Skate Anorak Windbreaker is the go-to layer for skaters who need lightweight wind and water protection without the bulk. Built from an 82gm 100% polyester shell with a water-resistant finish and 600mm waterproof pressure resistance, it blocks wind and light rain while staying packable enough to stuff in a bag between sessions. The IWS box logo sits on the left chest -- the same logo the IWS skate team has worn since the shop opened in 1978.
Construction and Features
The pullover anorak silhouette keeps the profile clean and the layering game simple. A half-front zipper with a scuba neck opens just enough for easy on/off and ventilation. The three-panel hood is mesh-lined for breathability and cinches down with a tightening toggle so it stays put when the wind picks up. Matte-finish hardware throughout -- eyelets, zippers, and reversed zipper tape -- keeps the look understated and skate-appropriate.

Layering and Versatility
Soft to the touch and packable by design, the Skate Anorak Windbreaker layers naturally over a hoodie or long-sleeve on cooler mornings and stands on its own when the sun comes out. It is equally at home at the skate park, on a boat deck, or walking the beach -- the kind of piece that earns its place in a daily carry without overthinking it.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an anorak jacket?
- An anorak is a pullover-style jacket with no full-length front zip -- it pulls on over the head and typically features a partial front zipper, a hood, and a relaxed fit. The IWS Skate Anorak Windbreaker follows this construction with a half-front zipper and a scuba neck, giving it a cleaner silhouette than a traditional zip-front windbreaker.
- What is the difference between an anorak and a parka?
- An anorak is lightweight and pullover-style, designed for wind and light rain protection. A parka is typically a heavier, longer jacket with insulation for cold-weather use. The IWS Skate Anorak is a true anorak -- packable, uninsulated, and built for layering rather than standalone warmth.
- Is this windbreaker waterproof or just water resistant?
- The shell is water resistant with a rated 600mm waterproof pressure resistance, which handles light rain and wind-driven spray effectively. It is not a fully sealed waterproof jacket, but it is well suited for the conditions a skate or outdoor session typically brings.
- Can this anorak be packed down for travel?
- Yes. The lightweight 82gm polyester shell packs down compactly, making it easy to stow in a bag between sessions or on travel days.
- What logo is on the jacket?
- The left chest features the IWS box logo -- the signature mark of the Island Water Sports skate team. It is the shop's core identity logo, not a promotional print.
- Where can I buy the IWS Skate Anorak Windbreaker?
- It is available in store at Island Water Sports in South Florida and online at islandwatersports.com.
- Is this a skate anorak or a general windbreaker?
- Both. The IWS Skate Anorak Windbreaker is built with skate culture in mind -- pullover silhouette, IWS skate team logo, and a clean matte hardware finish -- but the water-resistant shell, packable construction, and layering-friendly fit make it just as useful at the beach, on a boat, or anywhere the wind picks up.
