Rain Defender®

Rain Defender Jacket
 

Rain Defender®, Durable water repellent—water beads up and rolls off.

Rain Defender® durable water repellent garments are just as functional and comfortable while fishing, hunting, working, or standing on the sidelines at a football game in a sudden November rain. Water will bead up and roll off your sweatshirt, jacket, overalls, pants, and more, so a little rain won’t stop you from finishing the job without changing your gear.

How to Measure

Note: For best results measure over your undergarments. Use a cloth measuring tape.

measure men's coat

Chest:

Measure just under arms and across shoulder blades holding the tape firm and level. If your chest falls between sizes, order the next size up.

Natural Waist:

Bend side to side and find the natural bend in your body; this is your natural waist. Note: It may not be the smallest point.

Might Be The Only Winter Vest You Need
Carhartt has made an overall great insulated vest. It has plenty of pockets. It is thin and can be worn under anything. My only gripe is that it's a little short. I am 6'3" and it barely covers my belt. Not a problem, as I wear it under blazers, and it looks fine. But one more inch of torso coverage would have been perfect. It has more pockets than most other vests in its class (think Patagonia or Eddie Bauer). That's a big plus.

Great all around vest.
I bought this vest for my husband, he loves it. It fit perfectly, always wears large, large fit as he'd hoped. Color just great, looks exactly like the picture, moss. Think he'll want another one soon.

Great vest
Gift for my son and it is by far his favorite. He had one in the past and unfortunately misplaced on a trip so wanted it replaced! So glad you still are making it. He thinks the pockets are slightly different, but not enough to make a difference. His go to article of clothing!! He would definitely recommend!
