Montana Rugged Flex™ Relaxed Fit Duck Insulated Jacket

This jacket is great. I am 6' ft tall and about 185 lbs with an athletic build and opted for a Large. I purchased both a Medium and a Large to compare sizes and ultimately found the large to be the correct fit. The Medium fit well with just a t-shirt underneath, with a more tailored look on the body. However, l couldn't layer with the medium. Even adding a flannel layer made the coat too restrictive in the shoulders and arms. The sleeves would also ride up with the medium. The large, although a bit more bulbous around the body, allowed for a comfortable fit even with layering. The range of motion in the shoulder and arms was much better with large. The pleated back is a must have and works great here. I do not recommend sizing down for this coat assuming that most people would be using this jacket to work in. The lining utilizes Carhartt's Quilted Taffeta which is 100% polyester quilted insulation. This same lining can be found in the Super Dux Full Swing Insulated jacket. I believe the Montana Jacket only receives a 2 in warmth rating due to the lack of hood. There aren't buttons to attach a hood. However, with the ribbed cuffs, this jacket should be plenty warm through the fall and winter months. The interior pockets are classic Carhartt and work well. Same with the two front button pockets. The zipper in this jacket is just ok, a bit finicky to slot correctly. The rugged flex duck is nice but soft. Compared to a sandstone duck, it feels softer. In my head, it makes me think less durable than the sandstone, but only time will tell. I wonder if the rugged flex doesn't hold up as well against wind. I did not notice the 1% spandex, but the jacket is very comfortable. The collar has a cardboard/cheap feeling to it. Overall would recommend for anybody looking for a warmer relaxed fit Carhartt jacket that doesn't want an attached hood. This should be much warmer than the Detroit jacket.

amazing amazing amazing

I love it! It fits perfectly and is just the right warmth rating for the climate I live in.

Capo bellissimo

Great in every way. I'm 6'3'' and the "regular" large works. The "tall" large had comically long arms if I remember correctly.
