anorak
Windproof hooded coat
An anorak is a hooded waterproof jacket, originally worn by Arctic peoples and now standard outdoor gear.
In British slang, an anorak is a person obsessively devoted to a niche hobby—trainspotters being the stereotype: He's a complete anorak about vintage synthesizers.
The slang sense evokes someone more concerned with technical minutiae than social graces.
