Question

Isthere such a type of jacket called a snorkel?

Answer 1

yes there is i wore one as a child,it is a waist length four front pocket jacket bright orange lining and a big hood that when it is zipped right up you look like kenny from south park.Funny thing about them is that a lot of kids nearly got run down by cars  because they could not see out them properly.

Answer 2

Indeed there is. They were popular in the 80s. Made from nylon with a fur hood.

Answer 3

yeah, back in late 70's -early 80's they were called snorkels, these days they are called parkers, they look a bit like an eskimo coat.

Answer 4

Yes. It was popular in the 70's.

It was made of nylon, padded and zipped right up the front. The hood usually had fur round it and when it was done up, it looked like a tube. Hence the name snorkel.

P.S. If you saw Ashes to Ashes on Thursday, Gill, the feller who had been raising money by sitting in a bath was wearing one.
