This is not a 'chemical' question, not about compounds or substances.

Material is something different.

Traditional:

An anorak or parka is a type of heavy jacket with a hood, often lined with fur or fake fur. This kind of garment, originally made from caribou or seal was invented by the Caribou Inuit, Inuit (Eskimo) of the Arctic region.

Certain types of Inuit anoraks have to be regularly coated with fish oil to keep their water resistance.

Modern:

Strictly speaking, an anorak is a waterproof jacket with a hood and drawstrings at the waist and cuffs, and a parka is a knee-length cold-weather jacket or coat; typically stuffed with down or very warm synthetic fiber, and with a fur-lined hood.

The anorak and parka have been developed from their traditional forms into a number of different designs using modern materials, notably the Fishtail and Snorkel parkas and the Cagoule, a form of lightweight anorak.
