CarharttMen's Rain Defender Relaxed Fit Lightweight Insulated Vest

I love this vest. The size is a true fit - no need to size up or down. Its lightweight so good for moderate weather. Its not too hot when the weather is warmer - I tend to wear it with a short sleeve shirt. Its warm enough to do the job during slightly cold weather. The quality of the material is good - buttons and zippers are sturdy and don't catch. I ended up buying another one in green.

Stylish lightweight vest, perfect for layering under a shell or heavier coat as it isn't bulky. With most things from this brand I'm a medium but their small jackets and vests fit me better. The long tail keeps the wind from going up your back, the high collar keeps it from blowing down your neck. Oh - and it has FIVE pockets, two secured with zippers so your cellphone and wallet are kept on your person, the other pockets have a snap to keep them loosely closed. Great vest, and Carhartt steps up their wear into something stylish and for the hiker or trekker.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas. I wasn't sure he would like it but he loves it! Yayyy! It was a great gift for the value. Carhart is always good quality and this is no exception. I ordered an XXl for my husband who has a tummy or a tumor as he calls it and it fits perfect. He feels like the color black hides his size and he can zip it easily. I would buy this again.

Got this for my husband who works outside. The fit is good and it’s comfortable. Said it kept on warm all day.

This is a great vest. Very soft and good quality. I bought it for my college-aged son and it fits very well. The XXLT works from someone 6'3". Highly recommend.

This is a great jacket, and a 8/10 design but it's lacking in the most necessary feature. I ended up buying the 5.11 version instead because it was extremely lightweight, rolls up into a ball and yet probably 4x warmer. However, this jacket had the better pockets, and arguably I like the horizontal stitching look better. Make the arms have a nice sinch mechanism, and use the special insulation in the 5.11 jacket and I think you'll be on top. The neck fabric is a little rough. I'd prefer a Sherpa or maybe micro rabbit hair feel, but it's not a deal breaker. Also, keep the XLT sizing please, extra cost isn't an issue, for whatever reason all men's clothing is either for a 1950s man, or women these days and never fits right. The XLT is about the same length as the default 5.11 XL.

My husband loves it , great quality, great fit , sizing is accurate .

Warm and comfortable. A little tight around my middle - I'm not carrying a baby, that's just fat. I think that this vest might be a little warmer than my hoodie, but I'm not sure. It's nice to have the arms free. This vest completes my cold weather gear. I am glad that I bought this vest instead of something battery-powered.
