- Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2024Color: Carbon HeatherSize: LargeVerified PurchaseWas looking for a mid-winter replacement for my 10 yr old LL Bean sherpa-lined zip-up hoodie, which was out of stock until June. The Carhartt version is a lot less expensive than the LLB.
Pretty much what I was looking for, although it is a little tight in the arms. Very warm, especially in the hood. I ordered a large, but probably will get my next Carhartt hoodie a size larger, so I can more comfortably wear a fleece zip-up jacket under it (which I can do with my LL Bean size=L). In New England, the winter weather varies day-to-day, so it's nice to be able to have layers. I do like the satin/quilted lining in the arms (like the LL Bean has), as this allows me to wear a flannel long sleeve shirt, and/or a fleece jacket, and be able to get in and out without a lot of friction, which would otherwise cause my shirtsleeves to get bunched up in the jacket sleeves. I also like the non-zippered hand-pockets, which are more comfortable in cold weather on bare hands (pocket zippers are cold and scratchy). Zipper seems sturdy. Outer fabric seems durable, and since it is cotton, it won't get pills like fleece does. There's even an upper inside pocket for your phone.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2025Color: BlackSize: 4X-LargeVerified PurchaseThis hoodie was a replacement to a similar one that I had worn out from years of service. Comfortable, flexible, and definitely warm enough for below 0 temps. I’ve only had it almost 4 months with light usage. Regrettably, we are at the end of usage of the garmet due to the zipper coming unstitched near the bottom. I brought it to a professional tailor and he was unable to repair. Very disappointing ending to a garmet I thought would last years and not what I expected out of a Carhart product. Being Outside of the return window, I am out of options for replacement.
Update:
I reached out to Carhartt directly and they repaired my hoodie and shipped it back promptly. I appreciate their customer service and would do business again.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2025Color: Carbon HeatherSize: X-LargeVerified PurchaseLooks great and nice and warm. Fits really well. Love the color and the price was good. Also nice that it’s rain resistant.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2025Color: PeatSize: MediumVerified PurchaseMy son loves this Carhartt rain defender jacket I got him for Christmas. When my husband saw it he wanted one too so I purchased 2 within weeks. They are true to size and fit perfect. They are very warm, rain resistant, plus the quality and durability are what I would expect from Carhartt. Would definitely recommend.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2025Color: BlackSize: MediumVerified PurchaseI work graveyard shift in a warehouse in Oregon, winter gets cold and this hoodie is the only thing that works for me super comfortable and warm, but light enough to still move around and work, I bought one last winter and this winter thinking of buying one just to have for outside of work 10/10 recommend
- Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2025Color: PeatSize: Large Big TallVerified PurchaseThe peat color is more like an olive green. Maybe I’m color blind but I thought it be more grey. It’s heavy and warm and seems durable, the pocket has an inner pocket which is cool. For the sale price I’d say get one. Also I’m not sure what size I got, I ordered a large big and tall but the tag says large. I’m 5,9 more athletic weightlifting build and it fits nice. I think the large would have been too tight in the midsection like some of their other products. Also this runs true to size unlike the shirts where you need to size down
- Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2025Color: PeatSize: MediumVerified PurchaseGreat heavyweight hoodie. It does feel little more like a jacket than a sweatshirt, but in a good way. Intentional design features like the zip cover at the top are nice. Sherpa lining does not go through the sleeves, which is ok in my opinion because it makes getting in on and off with a long sleeve base layer much easier. 5'8" 186 lbs and the medium fit well. Not too tight, but room for a layer or two underneath.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2025Color: PeatSize: MediumVerified PurchaseVery warm and comfy. A little on the heavy side, but I'm fine with that. Good quality, zipper works well. Watch the size chart though: I'm 5' 7" and weigh 130 lbs and an XL fits perfectly

5.0 out of 5 stars Macht was es soll und ist sehr gemütlich!
Color: BlackSize: LargeVerified PurchaseAbsolute Kaufempfehlung, wenn man eine Jacke für die Kalte Jahreszeit sucht. Es ist keine Winterjacke, aber dennoch sehr warm.
Der Regenschutz ist auch gut, man wird innen nicht nass, aber es ist eben keine Regenjacke, sondern eine sehr warme Sweatjacke.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice and Warm - Good qaulity
Color: New NavySize: Large TallVerified PurchaseI am 6'3" and 180 lbs and struggle to find sweaters that are long enough without being extremely baggy. I got the Large Tall size and it fits great.
This is my second one of these with the first one lasting 4 years with daily usage for 75% of the year before the sherpa lining started to wear out.
Nice and warm. This is the only jacket I wear until it gets really cold out.

Color: PeatSize: SmallVerified PurchaseSweat chaud et deperlant. J'ai testé sous le robinet, il reste parfaitement sec. Doublure intérieure chaude en fourrure synthétique. La qualité Carhartt semble au rendez vous, a voir dans le temps. Par contre comme toujours chez Carhartt les tailles sont larges, le S me va parfaitement alors que sur d'autres marques je met plutôt du M
