This is the best sweatshirt I’ve ever owned. I just ordered another color because of how much I like it. This thing is so soft and comfortable and so heavy duty that you won’t have to worry about anything. I love it when I walk my dogs in the evening, no wind gets through the pocket is great with the key holder and the hood is amazing. Just buy this thing and don’t think back. Read more

This thing is probably three times the thickness of a regular hoodie while still being soft and not restricting movement. It is warm without being overly hot or sweaty and works great for layering. The hood is also the perfect size to give you head-room without flopping around everywhere. The neck is a little snug if I'm putting it on while wearing glasses, but that's no big deal. I bought mine one size bigger than I needed so it would be extra roomy and I could layer up a shirt or two underneath it if I wanted. I have a long torso and going that one size bigger made it the perfect length for me, so if you have a long torso you should buy the long size instead of the regular. I like ordering a size up as it still fits well and looks good but, because of the superb density of the material and how it sits with some volume, you get a good bit of loft away from the body. This alliows the hoodie to be a lot warmer than I believe it otherwise would be from that little but of extra air inside, as opposed to if this thing hugged the skin. In light drizzle, water beads on the fabric and runs off pretty well. It would take standing out in steady rain for several minutes to really get this thing wet, so it works better than any other hoodie I've ever worn in that regard. I liked it so much I bought a second one, albeit directly from Carhartt, as Amazon didn't have any in peat green at the time. This brand and type of hoodie will be the last kind I ever buy.

This is a very warm heavyweight hoodie. I’ve worn in temperatures around 40 degrees (with a long sleeved tee underneath). The anti-wind and rain-resistant claims made come with caveats, as they should. Yes the wind doesn't penetrate this hoodie as it would most hoodies. Out for a while in a drizzle, this hoodie will keep you drier than ordinary hoodies, but in heavy rain you’ll get wet and you’d you’ll need serious raincoat. This garment is as warm as some jackets made for cold weather and just as heavy. It is longer than a most hoodies, which helps. Still, it is a hoodie, so taking it on and off is a bit of a chore given its heft. The fabric has a pleasant feel. There is lots of room even if you don’t size up, as some customers do. I’ve washed mine a few times. Has it shrunk? Maybe only a tad if at all. It holds up. It appears to be sturdy and well made, but we’ll see. Carhartts tend to be reliable. After a few months, this appears to be a good value even given the somewhat higher price. Read more
