Carhartt Montana Relaxed Fit Insulated Jacket

very warm, a little bulky for my small frame

Warmth level is great, great fit, lots of pockets

The Women's Montana Puffer Jacket is absolutely the warmest coat I've ever had. I work outside all day in Western NC and in the winter time I was always so cold no matter how much I bundled up. But not any more. This coat keeps me so warm but it's surprisingly light so I don't feel like I'm wearing a straight-jacket. I wish I would have gotten this coat years ago.

I live where winters have regular snows, own a horse farm and have circulation problems. This coat is so warm, I actually almost sent it back. It's on a whole other level from the usual Carhartt canvas coats, and as an experiment, I once did morning feeding and chores in just this coat and a t-shirt just to see if I could - and I was sweating. It's that warm. I've never felt anything like it. I kept it, and I'm glad I did. If you're sitting on the tractor or teaching lessons or otherwise not moving around much in temps below 30F, it's an incredible coat. The outer layer is tough and durable, and the tan color hides dust well. The pockets are well-placed and the zippers are easy to use when wearing bulky gloves. Cons: It's not attractive and makes you look like you're shaped like a box (but seriously, it'll keep you so warm, that shouldn't matter). And the hood bothered me at first - it felt like it was constantly hitting me in the back of the head and I wished it was removable. That said, over time, my feelings on the hood changed as the fabric relaxed and as I realized that I only ever want to wear this coat when it's cold enough to want the hood (below 30F). So, the hood doesn't bother me as much anymore. Flat out, this might be the greatest barn coat of all time. But don't buy it if you live where it doesn't get below 30F much, you will be sweating, I promise.

Fits my wife well and she is happy with it. It keeps her warm!!
