Rain Defender™ Relaxed Fit Heavyweight Hooded Shirt Jac

I love it !! I don't mind my mom shopping for me there are no wrong choices she can make for me shopping Carhartt. She can pick I can open my box and be surprise and never disappointed.

Good jacket. Material and lining are excellent. Stops all wind and rain. Hood and neck enclosure design is also excellent. Snaps could be better. Doesn't take much for them to come apart and I'm not convinced they'll last too long. Design could use cut outs in the sides at the bottom of the coat. Similar to other jacs. More mobility and bend at the hips with out bottom snaps opening. Second chest pocket (right side) could use a flap. Currently good for collecting rain run off from you shoulders. Other wise good

I really do like this jacket a lot. It's comfortable roomy enough for me to wear warmer clothes underneath it if I need to I like to feel and it keeps me dry. My one complaint about it is the hood. It hangs down too far and obstruct my vision when I go across the street I have to lift it up to see because it blocks a good portion of my vision. I'm thinking about sewing it up a little bit just so it stays out of my eye line of sight and peripherals. It potentially creates a safety hazard simply due to this this is an alteration that Carhartt should put on this possibly a snap to adjust it.

Great fit. I just wish it came in more colors

I am pleased with my purchase. I am 6', about 180 lbs., and I ordered the Large. I read LOTS of reviews (1 star review - 5 star reviewers) before purchasing, and I am pleasantly surprised with the fit of the jacket. SEVERAL reviewers stated the jacket runs large, one or two stated it runs "true to size", so, what is the "real deal"? I believe it runs pretty true to its stated size. The large is a little large on me, and the sleeves are a bit long. I have long arms (wear shirt size 16 X 34-35") and the large jacket sleeves are a bit too long. So, it is NOT a "tailored fit look", but I personally prefer the jacket to be a bit larger to enable me to wear a sweater of hoodie underneath. The Medium size may have been a better fit; not sure; but I also wanted the grey jacket (which is almost black in color) and it has a somewhat sculptured fit in the way it was designed. I am MOST pleased. PAY HEED: Do NOT attempt to put anything in what "appears to be" inside pockets, as these are NOT inside pockets, they are the inside lining for the two outside access pockets. Several people "assume" them to be pockets only to have had their cell phones drop to the floor.
