About Carhartt Men's Rain Defender Relaxed Fit Heavyweight Softshell Jacket
Overall Feedback:
96% positive
88% appreciated its exceptional durability
After a few washings, the jacket has become more playable and comfortable. I can appreciate it for what it is: a tough as nails durable coat that gets more comfortable the more its worn.
88% praised the perfect fit and adjustability, but 12% found it too loose
The shoulders and armpits of the jacket are too tight to move comfortably or to layer under.
I find the jacket too long with excess material in the midsection, which bunches up and looks strange when sitting. Additionally, the material is loud when it runs together and has a starch/stiff feel to it.
When I zip up the jacket, it feels uncomfortable to wear.
97% liked its impressive insulation and warmth, but 3% felt it was not warm enough
The jacket feels rigid like a thick wetsuit and is heavy but not very warm.
95% liked its impressive wind protection, though 5% felt it was not sufficient
I noticed that the wind cut through my jacket, but it was due to the high wind speed of 45 mph at Battery park.
