Best Jacket Ever!, January 22, 2010
This review is from: Carhartt Men's Waterproof Breathable Jacket (Apparel)
I am an electrical contractor and I needed a rugged jacket that would stand up to rain, wind, and abuse in general. I have purchased many different clothes from many different manufactures in my 14 years in the trade, and I can say that in general Carhartt products are the best for my use. So when I needed a jacket that was waterproof, I went to REI and looked at Patagonia, Colombia and others. First those jackets seemed expensive and mostly I was unimpressed by how light and cheep they seemed. Then I started looking on-line and found this Carhartt jacket. I was hesitant at first after reading some of the reviews, but I am glad I went through with the purchase. It is by far the best jacket I have ever purchased. It is not bulky, yet it is make out of what looks like Cordura. As it states it is weatherproof. So I tested it in a rain storm yesterday. I was on a service call on a roof fixing an electrical problem at an apartment complex. I had the hood on and the drawstrings tight, also the drawstrings around the bottom of the jacket keep it snug. I was not wet at all. The water just beads up on the outside of the jacket, like a car with a good wax job. Its has three zippered outside pockets that work great, and have tabs on them for ease of use. I had a check in the "map" pocket that did not get wet at all. It is comfortable to wear and flexible enough to work in. I ordered a large and the sizes seem to run big, but I can also wear a nice thick sweatshirt underneath. I am planning on purchasing more of these and putting my company logo on the front and giving them to my best customers.
Bottom line is this is a great jacket, rugged, waterproof, and comfortable and I can tell it will last along time!

great jacket, October 14, 2008
All the other reviews cover it all.
If ordering online to where you cannot try it on, consider goin' down a size,
as it does run a bit bigger- which is nice- still comfortable and able to layer in extra warmth underneath.
And the hood is uncomfortable to where it does not easily rotate with your head, and blocks your vision a bit. I need to play with it more.
However, I did give it 5 stars anyway- 'cause overall it is a killer jacket.

Amazingly light, functional, well fitting jacket, May 14, 2007
I'm on the tall thin side and this jacket works great alone or as a shell over a fleece on colder days. only complaint is that the hood doesn't tighten and so comes off in the wind or on my bike.
