Soak ran off with jackets (7)

I believe the answer is:

anoraks

'jackets' is the definition.
(anorak is a kind of jacket)

'soak ran off' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates an anagram.
'soak'+'ran'='soakran'
'soakran' anagrammed gives 'ANORAKS'.

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for anoraks that I've seen before include "Hooded waterproof jackets" , "protection" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
