I really like this sweatshirt overall-it's a solid, heavyweight piece that performs well in tough conditions. The first day I wore it, it was 38 degrees with freezing drizzle, and I used it as an outer layer. It held up well. The rib-knit cuffs and waistband kept the wind out, while the mock-neck collar and hood kept my neck and head warm. It also shed light rain better than expected. I'm knocking off one star for two reasons. First, the color-I ordered Dark Tranquil Blue Heather, but what I received is noticeably lighter than shown online. Not a bad color, just not as pictured. Second, a durability concern. The material on the sides is already showing wear from reflective armbands I use regularly, which I didn't expect from a Carhartt product. Overall, still a warm, well-built sweatshirt, and the mock-neck collar is a great feature.

Quality of material, 1/4 zip opening greatly enhances garment versatility in changing situations and conditions.

My hoodie is very warm and I love the look and functionality of the government would definitely recommend would love to see one in the color red by the way

Excellent jacket, keeps you dry and cuts the wind
