My nephew asked for this coat for Christmas. I couldn't believe the quality when I got it in the mail. We are outdoor people, and we have many labradors. The fabric is so tough that no branch or dog jumping up can damage it. It's got a waterproof coating so rain beads off. This coat was made to last forever, it's very warm, and it looks good to boot. He hasn't taken it off yet. In fact, he asked for the same fabric coveralls to wear over the jacket for brush clearing work in the extreme cold.

The duck fabric is indestructible; the "sandstone" is a softer fabric. The regular duck is still comfortable; just wanted you to know the difference. I don't think that the microsanded one would last as long, but if you're just wearing it for looks and not rugged work I would say it's okay.

This jacket is great for days when it is around 40 degrees. Any lower I would reccomend a heavier model.

My husband is a carpenter and he loves this jacket. Its hard to find a jacket that isnt just a hoodie that he can work in thats comfortable. So its perfect for winter.

The title pretty much says it all. This coat is of top quality workmanship and materials. I have wore Dickies for a long time and have always been happy with them. However I wanted to try Carhartt since they are close competitors in this space. Comparing the two products I would say that the Carhartt products tend to run about 1/2 size smaller than Dickies so keep that in mind when ordering. Not a full size - but if you are close to your size limit with a Dickies then you might need to go a size larger with Carhartt to avoid it being too tight. The outer Duck material is very comparable to the material found in Dickies - no real difference that I can see. The inner lining does seem to be an upgrade from the lining in a Dickies - it just feels - thicker - and more durable. The zipper is a strong brass job and may be slightly more robust feeling when you zip it than Dickies. The woven cuffs, particularly on the sleeves, are tighter and feel more durable than dickies. Other than these things, they are really more alike than different from what I can see. The price difference between the two was only $10.00 with the Carhartt being the slightly more expensive. I think there is enough quality difference to justify a price variance of this amount. I would certainly not pay 50% more or double for the Carhartt name, but if you can find this item on sale like it is at present on Amazon for $59.95 - it is a very good deal on an absolutely outstanding product. In terms of wear, I just got back from a trip to Boston in January. Snow and ice, wet weather, about 20 degrees outside, with constant 15 to 20 mph winds. This jacket kept me nice and warm the entire time without the slightest chill, and no moisture or wind penetration whatsoever. It is not bulky, not heavy, and was just the right size and weight for the weather at hand. You might need some more insulation if you live in an area that goes sub zero, but for normal winter wear, this jacket is as perfect as I have ever seen.

This was a good jacket for the price. I ordered a size up, and it seems to fit nicely with a little room to spare on hubby. The outside is a really heavy duck material, which is awesome for yucky job sites. It washed and dried well without shrinking noticeably. The inside has a thermal (think thermal under shirt) lining that's not particuarly impressive. There's no material between the coat shell and the thermal, so it's not insulated at all. But it'll work great protecting whatever my husband is wearing underneath from work funk, and that was the point! It does have a neat little interior pocket for a cellphone, which I thought was a nice touch.

This coat is very warm and the best part about it is that it's very durable. I put this coat in my little locker at work which has destroyed 3 coats already but this one comes out without a scratch.

I have an older Duck jacket with thick lining that's almost too warm unless it's well below freezing. This one has a thin liner so not as warm on it's own. Don't get me wrong I love this jacket and use it all the time, in fact, it's more versatile than the heavier one. Just need to layer under it more when it's colder out. Does pretty well against the wind too.

The coat is nice, however I thought it would be heavier than it is. The thermal lining is very thin.

I saw this same jacket in a store near my house for $75.99. Fast shipping. Great service. Highly recommended

I have this jacket with me in Afghanistan. This jacket keeps me so awesomely warm as I treck through the unforgiving icy terrain in the mountains of Afghanistan. Sometimes I start to get cold and I dont know if the jacket is gonna cut it, but then I put the hood on and it's like a instant rush of super warm over my entire body. This jacket would probably be helpful in activities such as : climbing Mnt. Everest, sitting in a walk in refridgerator, eating large quantities of popsicles. If you get an extra large the jacket will also double as a parachute. I dont worry about anything when I wear this jacket because I think it may also stop bullets.
