Rain Defender™ Loose Fit Lightweight Packable Anorak

Ok, I'm not bashing Carhartt! All of my sweatshirts, pullovers and coats are Carhartt. I hate hoods! You can't see, poke me in the eyes and bulky. I guess with this thing, if I could at least roll it up and store it in a pouch right at the hood. The front pouch goes all the way across the front of the coat. There iate two Velcro tabs to fasten the pouch closed. They are located on each side, outboard, it far from the end. When you put it on the middle of the pouch buckles open. So, what's going to happen when it rains? The rain that falls on my front will run down into the pouch. I'm going to Ireland and I bought it for rain.

I like the fit, 5'10" 195lbs and got an XL. lose fit and comfortable. Water beads off. I bought it mainly to block the wind and light rain and for misty days and it does what it's intended to do. My only disappointment and it's a big one, is the front pocket that has Velcro closures on the left and right side but doesn't have a Velcro closure in the middle leaving the pocket open while walking. This is a big problem even in light rain or even keeping things secure.

Great quality

I like it so far. Wish I got it in a tall as I could use a little more length to it.
