Fit & Technology
    Rugged Flex Icon

    Rugged Flex®

    Carhartt Rugged Flex® technology moves and stretches with you throughout the day so that whatever you're doing, it's easier to do.

    Rugged Flex® garments must meet the Carhartt's defined standards for stretch, recovery, and durability, so when you put on a Rugged Flex® garment, you know it won't let you down. You'll find Rugged Flex® in shorts, shirts, pants, jackets, and boots because you need gear that helps you move, not gear that holds you back.

    Force Icon

    Carhartt Force®

    Keep your cool with sweat-wicking FastDry® technology.

    All Carhartt Force® gear wicks sweat thanks to FastDry® technology. Force also either fights odors, releases stains with Stain Breaker® technology, or both.
    Fast Dry technology has superior wicking action which makes perspiration a memory. The bottom line is that Force works harder, day in and day out, for hard-working men and women, at a price that doesn’t bring out complaints at the kitchen table.

Best of the rest.
These shirts are my favorite Carhartts ever. The fit, design and fabric are great. IAM using them for hiking, shooting, camping, and just around town. Delighted with them.

My New Favorite Shorts!
I have trouble finding shorts that fit right and these are perfect for my shape. I'm on the athletic side with thick legs so anything "skinny" doesn't work for me. I love the lightweight material for warm summer days and the cargo pockets are perfectly placed and large enough to hold my big phone. I just wish they came in more colors!

These shorts fit just right to size. Very comfortable and stain resistant. They don't show wrinkles either.

Runs small.
I used the True Fit Size and ordered the size that I would normally wear from Old Navy but they're too small. I'm not even sure if I can exchange them.

Fit well, just wish they were a bit longer because I wear them at work. Also wish there was a larger side pocket on the legs.

These are great for kicking around in the garden. Phone fits in the side pocket so you don't end up sitting on it. Wish they came in more colors, I would buy one of each.

Are these just an updated version of the ones that have elastic along the back of the waistband? Is fit the same?
A shopper on Aug 7, 2019
BEST ANSWER: This is a new style for Spring 2019 and it replaces style #102439. The fit is not the same. This style is going to be cut slightly closer to the body than the previous style.
Why don’t the women’s shorts have hammer hooks?
A shopper on Jul 14, 2019
BEST ANSWER: We do offer short styles 103040 and 102094 with the utility band for women.
Do these dri quickly if u get them wet? Going camping in August. Need something fast drying and durable.
A shopper on Apr 27, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Yes. I’m in the swimming pool service industry and they are lightweight, comfortable and dry quickly. The material seems very durable.
