Customer Reviews Carhartt Rain Defender Insulated Vest

I grabbed this one cold day, as an emergency, expecting that it wouldn't really be any good on its own over a button-down shirt, but it's actually fantastic because this light & thin works on its own, or under a jacket, it also folds up into nothing.

Perfect fit and function

Light weight. Warm rugged

It was a present for my son. He ABSOLUTLY loved it!!

Love the best I use it for work very warm and functional

Fit is true to size. I'm 5'7", 170 pounds and the Medium fits like it was bespoke made. The quality of materials and sewing is top notch; zippers match fabric color exactly, seams are triple stitched, etc. I bought the Carhartt Brown and I have to say the color is even better IRL. And value? Dude there's no other jacket that comes close to this. Snag yourself in Carhartt brown before they're all gone for the year.

This vest is a perfect blend of versatility and comfort. I keep this vest in my work bag so it's always there when I need it. It's extremely packable and durable and provides ample warmth. Found myself in a tangle of thorns at a clients house recently and didn't suffer a single tear in the fabric. I love the inner security pocket and love even more that it has a zipper to close it. Wouldn't change a thing.

This vest was too short and boxy for my husband and son who are 6’1” and 6’2”. Might work for shorter guys though.
