Great jacket from carhartt, very warm, soft jacket with lots of room. ( runs large ) And being waterproof is a plus as is the removable hood. Definitely a good looking jacket that's built for durability. Zipper function seems fine. I think it's a great value for the money! Another great carhartt product !!

Our journey with Carhartt products has been long and fruitful, marked by consistent quality and durability across their range. Venturing into the Storm Defender series for the first time, we selected a large size, anticipating a fit suitable for a standard large wearer. However, this jacket introduced us to a surprising spaciousness, hinting at a design favoring generous layering potential. The "loose fit" descriptor is notably accurate, as the jacket comfortably accommodates extra layers underneath, a feature that initially led us to mistake our large for an almost extra-large or larger.This roominess, while advantageous for layering in colder conditions, presents a sizing dilemma for those seeking a snugger, lightweight option. Echoing other reviewers, we suggest considering a size down to strike a balance between layering capability and fit. Despite this sizing conundrum, the jacket's detachable hood is a highlight, offering versatility and convenience in varying weather conditions.Initial tests under a faucet hinted at the jacket's waterproof capabilities, performing admirably against light to moderate water exposure. Yet, its efficacy in heavy downpour remains to be seen, a trial we look forward to.As expected from Carhartt, the jacket's construction is impeccable. From the resilience of the zipper and buttons to the strategic placement and abundance of pockets, every aspect of the jacket exudes quality and thoughtful design. Accessing essentials is effortless, thanks to well-positioned pockets that blend security with convenience.In summary, the Carhartt Men's Storm Defender Loose Fit Heavyweight Jacket stands as a testament to the brand's commitment to quality, though its generous sizing warrants careful consideration. Ideal for those who prioritize flexibility for layering without compromising on protection against the elements, this jacket is a robust addition to any outdoor wardrobe. With Carhartt's reputation backing it, we remain confident in its performance, albeit with a keen eye on how it holds up against the more severe whims of weather.

The media could not be loaded. I had a Columbia rain jacket for the longest time. It was the best. I tried to find things like it but nothing compared. Columbia stopped making it. I searched everywhere. I finally took a chance on this Carhartt. This is the best rain jacket I have ever owned. It is a perfect outer layer for anything; snow, wind, rain, or just debris from work. I love the color. The zippers are great. 5 pockets perfectly oriented. The jacket feels strong and rugged. I have always thought Carhartt was overrated and overpriced. I disagree with that now. They are quality, well worth the price, and frankly not talked about enough. I wish someone would have told me about this jacket sooner to save me time scouring the earth looking for a windbreaker of true grit. This is it. This is really my dream jacket. Please Carhartt make one in woodland camouflage!

Great rain jacket, tough and long lasting. I bought this to replace the same style Storm Defender jacket that I bought about 10 years ago, it was finally starting to wear out. It's still in one piece, but pretty faded. But it's survived many seasons of hard use. The new one looks pretty close to the original. I was worried, since some stuff is thinner these days (Looking at you Carhartt jeans). This one still seems to be pretty well made and solid. Looking forward to years of long lasting service from it. The design is nice and the little "duck tail" in the back helps shed the rain before it gets to your pants.

Great coat for stormy weather. - Seems to repel moisture well. Very well made. They tend to run a little smaller, in my opinion. Especially if you larger in width! If you are, then try the next size up.
