Carhartt Men's Rain Defender Loose Fit Heavyweight Full-Zip Hoodie

Absolute best hoodie. Got it to replace the one I've had for years. Perfect for all seasons and great in rain. Unfortunately I ordered the wrong size and gave it to my brother. So now I still need a new Carhartt hoodie.

Flimsy. Small hood. Not lined at all, I guess even this fancy "rain defender" doesn't hold up to just the basic hoodie fifteen years ago. Too thin to wear all day at work. Hood has that new three-panel thing to fit over a hardhat if it has to, but somehow this hood can't even cover the back of my bald head. Carhartt quality's been slipping since they started focusing up on streetwear over workwear. The fact that you can't even get a decent zip-up hoodie now is case in point. I have two from when they were good. Both made in Mexico. I thought maybe that was the issue, but it looks like things are still made in Mexico... so it's really just a question of design. Carhartt needs to do better here. You want to sell to teenagers who want to be rappers, change the name. You want to still be reliable workwear, you need to live up to that.

Great for this time of the year (early Spring) when temperatures go down with light rain. Will also be good for early Fall as temperatures drop. Also warm enough. Easy to put on, zipper appears very strong.

I purchased this to replace my decade old full zip. Easy decision to make. Very comfortable, and fits great.
