    I have been wearing Carhartt for a very long time. I have no problem with with the durability and the quality. I am bored and tired of the same old colors. Would love to see some different colors in the big and tall. Have been a 3xlt forever NEW COLORS PLEASE!!

    It's a nice quality sweatshirt. The thickness of it is good. My favorite part of this sweatshirt is it's plenty big.

    Hooded Zip-front jacket

    My husband loves his hooded sweatshirt jacket, he said it's very warm and keeps him dry.

    Not rain proof on the hood, not even rain resistant

    Sep 12, 2019
    I love this Hoodie, except for in the rain. First storm and the hood is completely soaked, the rest seems fine so far. I wish it was more rain resistant. Otherwise it seems very durable.

    Jan 11, 2019
    I like it haven’t gotten a chance to actually test it in the rain yet but it’s nice and comfortable.

    Great winter weight hooded sweatshirt!!!

    Jan 6, 2020
    Very well made & warm hooded sweatshirt ; as you would exoect from Carharrt!!

    Best Carhartt hoodie for me

    Dec 11, 2020
    This is my go to hoodie when I want to blend warmth with a casual style. It is a heavy material and unlined so you can wear a t-shirt under it on a cool day or layer it with a coat on chillier days. The rain/wind resistant fabric and hoodie are great and particularly appreciated on windy days.

    Warm

    Mar 6, 2021
    Great heavyweight sweatshirt. Keeps me warm and is very comfortable. I originally purchased Large tall as I am 6'4" but it was too big. The large fits great.

    What Happen?

    Jan 4, 2017
    Ive wore a similar Carhartt sweatshirt for as long as I can remember. and what happen??? Ive had this new one for about 2 weeks now, and I'm growing to really, really,really hate it. First off , right off the bat, who the heck decided , gee lets not make it in Carhartt brown? Really, what does Guatemala not dye Carhartt brown?? The zipper sticks every time, guess Ill try to wax it,but shouldn't have to. The hood just doesn't fit right, and draw strings are to short. The little so called security pocket, is beyond useless, its actually annoying , and needs to be cut out. It sits at such an angle, that EVERY single time to put your hands in the pocket, it will get hung up on the stupid thing, beyond annoying, like I said, I plan to cut mine out. And the sleeves are just beyond annoying as well, they are so darn tight, that they actually cut the circulation off to my hands. Ive stretched them out, and they just shrink right back, to skinny, limp wrested size, but I'm sure in a couple of months if I just don't throw this jacket away, that the sleeves will be too loose. Like I said Ive worn nothing but Carhartt this, and Carhartt that for ever, but I'm really, really super dissapointed with this jacket....

    GO TO SWEATSHIRT!!

    Dec 30, 2020
    Great sweatshirts. I wear them to hunt in, work in, and just everyday wear. Just like all original fit items they run just a touch on the big size. I normally wear an XL but in carhartt products that are original fit I wear a Large.

    Rain Defender Sweatshirt

    Mar 2, 2017
    Good and thick, nice and warm, comfy and cozy. Haven't tested it in the rain. The hood should be made a little larger.

    Could be better.

    Apr 6, 2021
    Second one. Should have an inside jacket pocket just like my first one. First 5 inches of main zipper stiff and awkward to close. Emblem on left sleeve unnecessary and too showie. Additional pocket inside right pocket good idea. Somewhat disappointed. At best neutral on product.

    LOVE IT

    Jan 5, 2021
    Bought one for my husband and I love it so much Im getting one for myself.

    Do yourself a favor and research the fit!

    Jun 6, 2020
    I just returned it through the mail. I should have listened to my gut when I felt like I shouldn't order the XL... I needed the Large. Looks great but I don't know about any functionality. I only tried it on.

    Fits great, it’s long enough, well made. Everything I need in a full-zip hoodie.

    A trusted company

    Nov 19, 2020
    Excellent service and communication from Shelpers. I ordered from Australia and was very impressed with the delivery time. I highly recommend this business and will shop with Shelpers in the future.Also you can't go wrong with Carhartt hoodies,well worth the money.

    A good quality zip up hoodie for work activities

    Dec 9, 2020
    Good and thick heavyweight material Still fits underneath Carhart vest comfortably I would highly recommend

    Dec 30, 2016
    Overall it's a nice glorified hoodie. It was not what I was expecting as I thought it was one I previously ordered but it was not

    Feb 16, 2019
    This is a replacement for the one a bought many years back. Excellent jacket. Great for all weather occasions. I like the fact it is water repellent and can be for all temperatures. Ohio has extreme weather changes and this is my go to jacket. Rain or snow it does a great job. I wear this jacket spring, winter, and fall. Just glad to be able to replace it with a new one exactly like the old. Even the old one still is good but just a little faded from so may washings. Complete satisfied!

    Warm & Comfy

    Feb 3, 2021
    Warm and comfy fitting sweatshirt. Time will determine if holds up like last Carhart sweatshirt that was over 10 years old when finally was retired.

    Thick warm hoodie

    Dec 30, 2018
    This is my every day work hoodie, thick to fight off he cold weather and has a nice Hood to protect you from the cold and rain. It has some weight to it...but nothing to crazy.. this hoodie well keep you warm.

    The sweater protects from the weather

    Oct 4, 2019
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for my son. He doesn't like wearing a coat, even when he walks to school every day through the winter. This is a great sweater for the fall and spring but surprisingly thin. Also, it looks black in the picture but is a lighter shade. I like the thought he will stay dry and it looks good, too and it seems to be comfortable. He is six feet tall and wanted an extra large tall. He's thin so I didn't think x large would work for him but it does. I will have to buy him a thicker one for the winter.

    EXCELLENT!!!!

    Jan 20, 2025
    BEST I have ever purchased. Very comfortable and great quality.

    Great Sweatshirt!

    My husband loves this jacket. It is extremely warm and stays dry. I highly recommend it to anyone.

    Runs REALLY big - returned it

    Dec 15, 2021
    i ordered mens medium for both my boys who are 18- one is 5’9” and 150lbs the other is 6’ and 150. lbs. the hoodies were HUGE. looked like an extra large on them. sent them back and didn’t exchange because they don’t look waterproof to me, they just look like a thick cotton hoodie.

    I ordered this gift early for my son for his birthday in August. I do not have an actual review, but know the product will fit. He loves your Brand. He does construction, lives in Sac Ca, HOT right now, but COLD nights.

    Happy customer.

    I like it . Very comfortable. Fits well . I have only had it a couple of week . So far I would recommend this sweatshirt.

    Not heat I thought it would be

    Zipper Defective

    I really liked it but the zipper broke within the first few days. I had to return it. Considering the pullover but I might put it off until next year.

    Not what I wanted. Can't believe I ordered this. Decent product for cooler days.

    How about marketing as unisex and include size x-small?

    Dec 4, 2024
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great heavyweight full zip sweatshirt. Only improvement would be if it was available in extra small, or in women's sizes. I bought a small and everything's great except the length. I'm 5'3.

    Great buy

    Jan 6, 2025
    Definitely recommend this sweat shirt,very comfortable, and very warm

    The little pocket sucks

    Nov 23, 2020
    You guys added to many pockets. The little pocket in the large right pocket sucks. I can’t get a hand or my keys or anything in it with out it getting caught in the little pocket. Im going to rip it out. You should stop making it with that one.

    I ordered an XL in size which is what I would normally order in such an item. This particular hoodie comes in a loose fit and it is of a LONG cut. Together that made the XL size a bit to large for me. I passed it on to my son who is a bit taller than I. I'm forced to order another one in size Large.

    Great Hoodie

    Mar 19, 2017
    I purchased this hoodie in size Large Tall which fits me perfectly, it runs a little loose the way hoodie should run. It is built very well and includes a water repellent finish that works when it rains. The only negative is that Carhartt does cut them the way some sports makers do. They include tapered collar area which allows extra material. This makes for a larger hood to fully cover your head. If you expect to keep all of your head completely dry with this hood, you will not be satisfied

    Mar 22, 2019

    Great fit. Keeps me warm during these cold months.

    Bad quality

    Oct 8, 2019
    Initially my husband loved this sweatshirt, but here it is less than a year later and the zipper broke right off of it in the wash, it’s unfixable. Poor quality for a brand that’s supposed to be known for its rugged durability!

    Good Quality Sweatshirt

    Carhart sweatshirt is very comfortable and warm. I love it.

    My only complaint is that some of the teeth on the zipper are crooked and it's difficult to zip the first 6 inches on the bottom.

    Great Purchase Great Price

    My husband loved the gift. Will be an item I will definitely buy again in the future.

    Quality and consistency is gone

    Nov 6, 2021
    Quality and consistency is gone. I purchased two in the same order and they are different from on another in quality and design. One has significantly smaller pockets. The weight of the fabric is different and thinner than my old one. Disappointed.

    Rain defender

    May 21, 2018
    Like the fabric but the zipper is bulky. I have one from two years ago and it is smaller. I would like it more fitted.

    Great Sweatshirt!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband says it is great to wear ! Love how snow or rain does not make it wet!

    Oct 2, 2017
    Rain rain go away come again some other day

    My husband says this is Perfect for layering for MN winters!

    Mar 11, 2022
    My husband loves the fit, comfort and that this sweatshirt really keeps the cold out when layered with his coat- when it is 20 below or colder! When it is above 25 degrees out my husband often finds that he can just wear this without a coat, when he is working.

    Dec 26, 2018
    Nice heavy sweatshirt

    Great hoodie!

    Jan 29, 2021
    This hoodie is a replacement for the one I got about 6 years ago. I loved my old one but it was just worn out. I’ve had this hoodie for about a month and I like it a lot. It’s very warm and I really like that it’s water repellent.

    Stands up to wayyyyy more than light rain.

    Mar 15, 2024
    I have a couple of these full zip hoodies in different colors. I love them. I do need to say that I think they are selling themselves short on the water repellent aspect of the material. It will stand up to more than just a light rain. Last week I was pressure washing some equipment at work all day. The bottom half of my body was soaked 1 hour in. 8 hours later when I finished the top half of me was still dry due to my hoodie. The hoodie had been pelted with water all day. The outside was dripping wet, yet the inside was dry. I've worn my green hoodie hunting and have been rained on all day and it kept me dry. Now if you know you are going to be rained on or in a wet environment I'd suggest wearing a proper waterproof top, but this hoodie will still keep you dry if you happen to get caught out in the rain.

    I have 3 Carhartt products (the pull over hoodie, the full zip hoodie and a crew neck sweatshirt) and I love all 3 of them!

    great hooded sweatshirt

    Mar 10, 2021
    I work at a Contruction site. this sweatshirt is great for this type of environment. The second sweatshirt went to the homeless person that hangs out on the corner. Wish Carhartt would let me purchase more of these for a discounted price.

    Not what I expected.

    Feb 20, 2025
    The Carhartt Loose fit, Heavyweight sweater that I bought a year ago had a second liner. They are much warmer than the ones I just ordered. The new ones will only be good for Spring and Fall but I wanted them for winter like I wear my other two older ones. I thought about returning them but then I won't have sweaters for Spring and Fall so I guess I'll keep them.

    best jacket ive ever had

    Oct 9, 2021
    Since receiving this jacket as a gift i dont even wear a coat anymore, even when i ride in 40 deg weather. the rain defender feature is also amazing. going to be ordering a second one so that i have one that stays nicer then my everyday wear one.

    Great hoodie

    Mar 21, 2025
    Great mid weight hoodie! I use this for the quick trips between the car and the gym in the morning, and lounging around he house. Fits great, good amount of warmth and very comfortable.

    Excellent service, excellent product.

    Jan 12, 2024
    Bought them for my maintenance team for Christmas. They were a big hit and will help keep my guys warm through the cold winters of Montana. Ordering was easy and arrived at the time promised. Always a pleasure doing business with this A+ company.

    A great quality jacket.

    the women's does not cover my butt

    Dec 20, 2022
    For the price I paid I thought it would be lined for warmth, and new looking after it was washed. The convince of not feeling wet is good, feeling cold this winter is not so good.

    Great hoodie for work

    Dec 7, 2021
    High quality, comfortable, and cozy. My son is very pleased with this hoodie.

    It's Great!

    Apr 5, 2021
    This is a replacement for a sweatshirt I bought 6 years ago that I wore at work almost every day. I work outside everyday rain or shine and this sweatshirt has held up to the abuse. I will continue to buy these everytime.

    great experience

    First Class Quality and Comfort = Carhartt

    Dec 29, 2019
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product purchase was determined based upon my previous Carhartt hoodie sweatshirt that has lasted over 11 years and is still pretty much perfect, even if a little bit warn. The new Navy Blue Color I just purchased is wonderful and looks great. It is super warm, and I love the fact you can wear it in the rain, I just did that in the last few days. Plus it looks very nice, the quality is excellent, or superb. The fit is perfect. The double lined hood makes a big difference in warmth and comfort. This is one of the main reasons I prefer Carhartt Hoodies. You will love this product all the way around. It is the Heavy Duty Hoodie!

    Just right.

    Dec 5, 2021
    I wear this to work everyday. It’s just right for those cool MS mornings.

    Just the best. Tough and comfortable.

    Sep 29, 2023
    We love these! We bought a size larger to accommodate sweaters and layers of long sleeve tee shirts and henleys... we live in south central Alaska and this is the perfect jacket/ hoodie for spending time outdoors. After years... 4 years I think, they still bead water and are tough as nails and very comfortable.

    Perfect!

    Boyfriend loves it! Living in upstate NY it’s often cold and rainy/snowing. This is the perfect in between of a raincoat and winter jacket.

    I really like this sweatshirt. The fabric feels like it will hold up to a lot of abuse. It is comfortable and warm. The only thing is I feel like the sweatshirt could be a little longer. Overall I am very pleased with it

    Best hoodie

    Dec 7, 2021
    Best hoodie I've ever owned. Perfect mid weight cover. Cuts the wind and keeps me warm without overheating me when I'm indoors. Love Carhartt products and recommend them at every opportunity.

    Should be called Lint Creator

    Mar 3, 2022
    I’m highly disappointed with the lining material. The lint is so bad a light color shirt cannot be worn underneath. Give me the old style lining with the new outerwear and it would be a five star rating. Best carry a lint roller or wear only black shirts…

    Good product

    Mar 27, 2024
    Product feels & looks great. It's warm which I love. However it took longer than expected to ship to me, while also getting "lost" at a processing station.

    Very nice warm jacket

    Fits excellent, well made!

    Dec 31, 2018
    As someone who is 6'4", it's hard to find sweaters that dont ride up. Quality made, lightweight, and toasty warm. Able to wear a hat and have the hood up comfortably, fits arms perfectly and never shows my stomach, even with my arms above my head. It's good stuff!

    Great sweatshirt.

    Nov 24, 2020
    6' 2" 185lbs I got the Large. Fits great. Love the thickness of it and soft inside. Navy color looks great. This is my second one. I still wear my old one but cuffs are frayed, that's all. Have had it for over four years. Durable sweatshirt. Warm.

    This would have been my 5th hoodie from Carhartt, but they could not supply product, I am a huge fan of Carhartt, loyal customer

    Jun 5, 2021
    I would love to leave a review of what would have been my 5th Carhartt hoodie, however, Carhartt could not fill my order, the "T" shirts I ordered are great, please let me know when I can get this product..

    I have had 2 of these now and the zipper failed on both. The large brass zipper failed on the hoodie even though the hoodie was still in great condition.

    Well made, especially the zipper. Heavy duty. It's like wearing one of those weighted blankets. Very secure feeling

    I was very disappointed in this Heavyweight hoodie. It was not as heavy as my husbands old one we bought a year ago. I had to send it back.

    Not heavyweight

    Jan 29, 2024
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was not as warm as anticipated. It stated heavy, however it offers minimal warmth.

    Oct 29, 2019
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off let say I love Carhartt been wearing there stuff for a long time my dad been wearing since the early 90s , I love this hoodie very comfortable , thick material and holds up good in any work environment I would categorize this as a warmer but certainly not the warmest Runs a bit larger so if you’re a medium order a small

    Throw and go staple

    This jacket is great. It is soft, warm and durable. The size fits well. The zipper is darker that matches the black jacket which looks good versus bright gold color. Overall happy with this purchase.

    A fix for unraveling cuffs please!!!!

    Feb 20, 2019
    Although I really like this sweatshirt , I have found that the cuffs wear out within a year. It’s very frustrating when you have a sweatshirt that wears like iron and still has very little fading but because of the unraveling cuffs makes it look very shabby!!!

    Lighter than Heavyweight

    Jan 5, 2024
    Claims to be heavyweight but it is lighter than expected and previous Carhartt Sweatshirts that I have purchased. Still like it just not what I expected.

    Best quality sweatshirts!

    Dec 2, 2021
    Nice quality sweatshirt that makes a very nice gift for most men. Personally, I'm not particularly fond of the new style of pockets only because they are a bit harder getting into. On the flip side that makes it harder for things to fall out. So it is a personal choice. But it certainly does not keep me from buying more and more of them. Excellent gifts.

    Nov 11, 2018
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As much as I like the coat it is difficult to know the warmth level from simply seeing it online. I would prefer to go to a Carhartt store prior to purchasing a coat online if I am not familiar with it. Luckily there is 1 in my area.

    Great Heavyweight Sweatshirt.

    Oct 15, 2020
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy this heavyweight sweatshirt. It’s true to size, and I wear it as warm as a lightweight jacket. I also appreciate that the fabric is “Quiet” when moving around, compared to other lightweight jacket materials. I do wish there was a version without the hood, but that’s me.

    Nice fit-good quality as always

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love it, perfect for working around my small farm. Even had some light rain and cold weather for Florida. Definitely recommend! I normally wear large but Carhartt seems to run large so medium is fine for me.

    Rain Defender

    Jan 29, 2019
    The garment is warm and sheds water as advertised. I suggest washing before wearing because I had a large amount of fuzz balls all over my shirt when I removed the garment. Washing did correct this unexpected issue

    I wish it stayed cold all year so I could wear this hoody.

    Mar 20, 2021
    Very durable hoody. I thought about moving to Canada just so I could wear it more often. It just doesn't get very cold in Alabama. This hoody is so nice, it may be worth sweating just to be able to wear it.

    My husband bought one at Fleet Farm. I wanted one just like it so I searched your site for the item # on the tag in his. The product that arrived didn't have the same lining material. His is fluffy, I would call it "sherpa". the one I bought from you had a flat lining material. I was so disappointed. I was looking forward to wearing the sweatshirt and had my heart set on that warm fluffy snuggly lining. So back it went. How can you make something so different and assign it the same item number?

    The best!

    Amazing product!

    I think I'm in love

    Sep 29, 2016
    I just got this and so haven't been able to test it in the field but so far...I'm impressed. It's very thick for a Hoodie. Seems to be very well made. Runs pretty true to size maybe just a little on the big side. I normally wear a 3x but got this in 2x tall. As long as it doesn't shrink too much it'll be a perfect fit. If you plan on wearing some layers under it, I'd go with your normal size first. Always been happy with carthartt products and this Hoodie does not disappoint. I've paid the same price in the past for much less quality. Great job carthartt.

    Great hoodie

    Dec 27, 2023
    Purchased as a gift and he loves it. It is a little on the large side compared to other hoodie brands in that size, but I think that is just the style. It still fits and does the job. Also, you can tell how excellent the quality and construction is.

    Highly satisfied!!

    Warm. Durable. Stylish. Good working hoodie. Wish the 4xl came in a 4xlt. I’m 6’2” 310lbs. Would have liked longer sleeves.

    Significant improvement over previous version

    Nov 27, 2020
    I absolutely love this sweatshirt. Very comfortable and water resistant. The interior lining is no longer mesh and no a much more comfortable soft material. They also eliminated an interior pocket and added a phone sleeve in one of the front pockets. Perhaps best of all was the zipper upgrade. I had two zipper failures on the last version.

    Awesome Sweatshirt

    Dec 30, 2020
    This sweatshirt is great warm, holds off light to medium rain and snow. And extra little inside right pocket is great for vehicle key fob.

    Love My Carhartt!

    Dec 6, 2016
    Awesome product! Needed a Carhartt hooded Zip-up for my job. The weather tends to get brutal up here in Chicago, so I needed some heavy duty gear to get me through the day. This Carhartt came fitted just right for my size. Carhartt is by far the best outfitter for outdoor, rugged, and cold harsh weather conditions.

    Great product

    Nov 7, 2019
    I had one before and it was time for a new one so i bought 3 of them!! Best coat i have ever owned. I work out in the elaments (Rain, Snow) It keeps me dry. Thank you for a great product

    Good quality, heavy duty sweat shirt. Bought to replace one I’ve had for 15 years. Feels comfortable. Not a big fan of the pocket in a packet, just seems to be in the way to me. Wish it came in camo

    Love this sweatshirt !

    Jun 10, 2018
    Keeps a modest rain away .. though will lose some of this functionality as you wash it repeatedly .. so take it easy. Still my favorite thing to wear if I am chilly .. very comfortable as well. Hood is the right size as well. Very impressed.

    Great Hoodie

    Dec 14, 2021
    I love this hoodie! I find it super warm with its thermal lining and thickness. It works as an outer layer in cold weather coupled with a sweater underneath. It repels rain quite well in mild downpours for limited periods of time. It’s held up nicely so far under rugged conditions. I would recommend this to any of my fellow workers.

    Feb 23, 2017
    extremely like the sweatshirt fits very well very waterproof for being a sweatshirt

    Great!!

    Very warm and comfortable. The only gear I wear to work is carhartt. It is superior to all other working clothes.

    Nice!

    Mar 9, 2025
    Great hoodie, thick and warm. Wish more Carhartt stuff came in 4xlt and 5xlt for us husky guys

    Good fabric, but zipper can be weak and fall off.

    Jul 29, 2024
    The jacket is a good medium weight fabric. I like the hood and front pockets. However, the zipper jumped the teeth at the top of the jacket and fell off during a regular wash and dry cycle. To be fair, the instructions caution gentle cycles, though my expectation is to have durable work and casual performance without special treatment. To the good, was able to reinstall the zipper, but it will not close the last 7 inches without replacement. The negative is it is made ioff off shore in vietnam. I prefer and seek out American made products. Overall, it is a good quality jacket with optimally being made in the states in the future.

    It's the RIGHT ONE!

    Dec 16, 2021
    It's the RIGHT ONE! They sell out so quick that I deliberately bought 1.5 X larger then necessary so I can also wear it over top of everything else. I still can't believe how warm this 12 oz. is. My wife's 22 year old Green canvas jacket is closer to 22 oz. and I'm finally glad I couldn't find one. This will always be lighter and more comfortable even if I ever have to wear this Heavyweight over a middleweight and a regular for freezing winds at night. That's right, I just bought 3 Carhartt hoodies and can empty the rest of the closet. But I wish they would rub pure bees wax on the zipper.

    Dec 31, 2018
    Feels nice, looks good, is not as thick as I expected, but I really do like it. Few things to know: the "peat" looks quite grey-ish on the product picture, but little bit more green-ish in reality and the zipper that looks darker and rounded on the product picture, is more of the classic squared one (look at the picture @joericstreeter posted) and the size "small" is just "small on the Carhartt scale" ;)

    Long Body

    May 12, 2020
    AT 6'4" 250lbs, the XL tall is perfect in the sleeves but runs way to long in the body. I own 5 of the heavyweight hoodies and they are all the same way. These sweathsirts would be perfect if the would shorten up the length a bit.

    Must Have..

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Husband loves this zip up. Warm, waterproof and ready for the outdoors. Great product @Carhartt

    Superb product! High quality, warm, water resistant material.

    Bit smaller than midweight hoodie, but that's good

    Mar 12, 2019
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bit shorter than midweight hoodie in overall length, so it's makes better fit than midwight hoodie of looking like wearing daddy's big clothes.Pretty warm in chilly weathers, but it doesn't have protection for neck area, so better wear inner shirts or sweatshirts in extreme conditions.

    Excellent Gift

    Probably my favorite jacket. In the South, heavy weight jackets are needed on occasion, but these are my favorite go-to wear when heading out. Comfortable, easy to grab and go, and still provides some rain protection. And has a hood when needed.

    Excellent product.

    Sep 15, 2019
    I live in central Maine and this product performs excellently. It works very well as a mid-weight rainy weather sweatshirt to wear in the fall.

    The definition of discrimination, Carhardt.

    I like the product and am a 55 year old who has spent my life in the elements. I have a snow removal company and am in the storm sewer business in the summer. I however will not be purchasing Any of more of your products because of your company's discrimination of people who choose not to be vaccinated. Your loss.

    Love it.

    Mar 26, 2021
    It’s the best hoodie I’ve ever had. I highly recommend it to anyone shopping for one. Although I said it runs large I’d order the same size again. It allows plenty of room for anything you might wear underneath and allows for freedom of movement.

    Great stuff!

    Aug 15, 2017
    Great product. I would buy again.

    Nov 12, 2017
    Amazing. Worth the price and amazing quality. Only gripe I have, which is my own fault, is the size was bigger than expected. So if you don't want it supper baggy and you're an xl I'd go with a large.

    Just bought 2 to replace the 2 my husband has had for years - they're great and long lasting. The only problem is that one of the sweatshirts has a "sticky" zipper - it's hard to zip even after more than a week of wear - the other sweatshirt zipper glides smooth as butter!

    Quality zip sweatshirt, beads / repels water pretty well so far, thick material, great color, good cuffs, nice feel all around. Runs a little big, but that's probably because most people wear layers under it.

    GARBAGE

    Jul 10, 2024
    i am returning it.there is nothing heavyweight about the sweatshirt.i am shocked at how bad the quality of carhartt has become.when i picked up the package at my front door i was thinking you sent the wrong thing because it was so light. I have 2 midweight thermal lined that are more than 10 yrs old and heavier than the garbage you just sent me.i couldnt be more disappointed and you all should be ashamed of yourselves.you are nothing but overpriced garbage anymore and i will NEVER buy anything from you again..i hope you go out of buissiness..SHAME ON YOU

    Son loves Carhartt

    Jan 5, 2024
    My son wears Carhartt every day. He was a warehouse supervisor, and he swears by their quality and durability. He has Carhartt items he has worn for over 6 years. Loves them!

    Not worth the premium cost

    Nov 3, 2018
    Zipper is not smooth. I tried lubricant but no good. Also not as heavy as my old one.

    Nice Jackey

    Love it.

    Feb 22, 2019
    I have 2 of these hoodies as a pullover and I love them so much I decided to try the zippered one out. Glad i did because it’s just as good if not better then the pullover. Not sure why it’s so much more expensive but, it’s the carhartt quality I’ve come to know and love so it’s fine.

    Warm, wears, and works great. Exceeds expectations.

    Bulletproof combo with the C55

    Mar 3, 2017
    I use this in combination with the C55 for the coldest weather. The advantage of the zipper is that you can leave it in the coat. Bulletproof combo for the cold. Solid durable construction. Runs a size large as is known, just like the C55.

    rain defender hoodie

    Feb 13, 2021
    Received one before, loved it, as it was starting to wear out around the cuffs and such it was time to up grade to a newer one. Does well with light rains, thick enough for cold winds. I will continue to buy new ones as they wear out. The best thing about it is it comes in TALL sizing.

    Best quality.

    Feb 7, 2019
    Great warm sweater. Well worth the money. Quality is a five star. I will definitely be buying more.

    In the short time I have this jacket the teeth on the zipper broke. This is unacceptable and now I'm forced to take the jacket to my local dry cleaner to replace the entire zioper. To boot, this happened another time last year on another jacket! Let's see if the dry cleaning costs more than the jacket I'll just throw it away. Very disappointed in Carhartt.

    Just like my old Jacket .

    It is just like my old carhartt I am super happy Thank You !

    Great sweatshirt, Comfortable warm and looks great while wearing it

    Very Poor Dyeing

    Oct 17, 2019
    purchased one of these and the dye on the neck of the hood turned brown. I thought I just got a poor dye job on it so I purchased another one and it did the same thing. I would not recommend buying one. not very good quality from Carhartt.

    Great Hoodie

    Dec 9, 2021
    Ordered these for our employees as Christmas gifts and they love them. These hoodies are definitely loose fit. They are big enough that our guys can wear something warm underneath still.

    Carhartt quality, no doubt

    Nov 14, 2019
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Another excellent Carhartt purchase. Comfortable and warm. My only recommendation is that you buy one size smaller. I’m a medium and the small fits me perfectly!Bethlehem

    Great heavyweight full zip hoodie

    Dec 22, 2022
    Loose fit, heavyweight hoodie. Rain defender. I am 5’10” 190lbs. I originally ordered a large but it was way too big. I ordered a medium and it is a perfect fit. I like the loose fit. It is a little longer than what I wanted but I like the length now. It is a true heavyweight hoodie. Perfect for outdoors work and play. Strong zipper and deep, deep pockets. I prefer the hood with two seams instead of one down the middle. It is soft and comfortable to wear inside the house. I bought and returned the flint and tinder 10 year hoodie. I prefer carhartt.

    Tall sizes too big

    Apr 26, 2020
    Good quality, what you would expect from Carhartt. Fit is huge. Large tall fits like an XXL. I don't understand Carhartt's tall sizing and why it's so big. It's like this in all their clothing. Pretty much done buying from them. Which sucks because their clothing is quality. Just sized all wrong.

    Disappointed in new version

    Feb 4, 2023
    I purchased the hoodie and was hoping it was as good as the previous one.. Unfortunately I was disappointed..it was just as heavy of the fabric but it doesn't have the meshing inside to keep the cold out.. not sure what the hidden pocket is for, not really big enough for anything.. Loved the previous model just disappointed that it's not as good this time. I've been a diehard Carhartt nut for all my life now kinda question on the quality anymore

    Well only had it for a couple weeks now so very happy wth it so far had it in a little rain the other day water beaded right up like it should but not enuff to see how it runs off yet but very happy wth it so far comfort to wear like nothing even on

    Quality as always..

    Warm, durable and very comfortable. Regular fit. Great for layering.

    The best hoodie I have ever owned. You get more than what you pay for.

    Apr 3, 2021
    Probably the thickest and most substancial hoodie I have ever seen in my life. It weighs a ton and is perfect for winter layering and chilly spring/fall mornings and light showers. Brass YKK zipper will work a long time and not rust, metal eyelets for drawstrings. 3, yes 3 piece hood instead of the standard 2 which keeps your head warm. The DWR coating works way better than I thought. Water beads off easily, it will only soak through if it is heavy rain for over 30 mins. Im very impressed, the 75/25 cotton-poly blend is a good balance of warmth, strength and breathability. 13oz is perfect for me, it can be used as a jacket that’s how thick it is. My favorite hoodie, ever, hands down. Will buy another color in the future. Thank you carhartt.

    Would definitely recommend!

    Sep 15, 2018
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable and warm! The perfect weight for everyday wear. Wicks away the rain really well, and it fitted enough to perfectly pair with a vest or wear under a coat for winter.

    Awesome hoodie. Very warm. This winter I have yet to touch my Carhartt duck jacket even with the temps into the single didgets. It cuts the wind. Good protection from rain. The hood is bigger so you can put it over your hard hat. Nothing but good things about this hoodie.

    Qualty is OK. I would consider this a "midweight" not a heavyweight sweatshirt. I have a flat stomach area, but the sweatshirt ballons out in abdominal area unless bottom unnaturally pulled down past hips. Have exact same garment bought five or six years ago that is much thicker and fits fine.

    Just what I wanted

    Dec 14, 2023
    This is a heavy weight, durable jacket for guys who spend a lot of time outside and are looking for a jacket that can stand up to rough treatment. Everything was great except for the start to the zipper. Doable, but always a bit of a hassle. Wish that part had a better design so it was easy to get the zipper started without fussing around.

    Works well on the ranch.

    Warm roomy runs large very comfortable and great quality .

    Overall a Good Sweatshirt but...

    May 8, 2017
    I was excited to purchase this sweatshirt as I heard many good things about it. I purchased in a Carhartt store in local mall (Syracuse, NY) and am very disappointed I was not told that they had tall sizes. As others have stated these run a size larger, I usually wear an XL, but purchased the Large because the XL was much too big for me. However, the sleeves are very short and I would have definitely preferred the option to have longer sleeves that the Tall sizes apparently give. I am also not very impressed with the Rain Defender part of the sweatshirt. It has been raining on and off for the past two weeks where I live and I thought, perfect opportunity to test the Rain Defender sweatshirt. After 5 minutes in a light rain the material started getting soaked, it did not really every bead up the way it has for other users, so I am not sure if this particular item is defective. On a positive note, this is the heaviest sweatshirt I have ever owned and although it did take a bit to get used to I now love it. Very warm and seems extremely durable. I have worn outside to do landscaping work and no tears, holes or anything else. The 4 stars for comfort is due to the getting used to how heavy the sweatshirt is plus the tightness of the waistband and sleeve bands. They just take a bit of getting used to.

    Good quality jacket

    Feb 22, 2024
    Love the jacket. This is my 4th one over the years. The one thing I didn't like is they eliminated the inside pocket. Which I do not understand. That pocket is so handy for your cel phone. The little pocket inside the right pocket is of little use. Overall I love my jacket

    Unlike all my Carhartt hoodies the sleeves on the zip up hoodie seems to be shorter. A couple more inches longer would have been perfect. I do however like the quality of the material and the workmanship seems to be the excellent quality I’ve come to expect from Carhartt.

    I was impressed with the quality, and heavyduty weight of the sweatshirt. This can last a lifetime. I am a little disappointed though that the sweatshirt runs a little large. I am hoping after a few washes it will shrink a bit.

    I do miss the old carhartt sweatshirts. The fabric was cotton just felt different. Maybe they were just reminiscent of fabric I was used to. I've gotten used to and I like this new product line.

    Overall it’s the best sweater I own and the customer service is great!

    If you want the heaviest duty hoodie you can buy, get this. Be aware, though. This hoodie is HEAVY! I love the color. But, this is just too heavy for me for everyday wear. If I worked outside in rough conditions, this would be ideal. I just wear mine when running around town. I like my midweight hoodie much better. Yes, I know that 'Heavyweight' is in the name. It's not a critique of the quality, just know that the garment has some heft to it!

    New hoodie model is an actual rain defender, previous version was more versatile for wicking purposes.

    Feb 10, 2024
    This one is somewhat different from the previous model I find this one to be more water resistant from the coating that was applied to it and the tighter weave. They really took the idea of the rain defender and got more serious about what it claims to do. I find the new model to not have as much breathability as the previous model. The inner liner really helped create a pocket of air that was exceptionally good at wicking away moisture. If it were actually raining I would prefer the new model for the ability to repel water: the coating really makes a difference. If it were a fall day with the sun shining I would prefer the older model because the moisture wicks away far better. The new model can feel a bit more sticky, like it just doesn't breathe as well. They are both great hoodies and I can understand why they made changes to the hoodie. Two different models to accomplish the same task, I found the old model has more versatility though.

    Hardcore hoot right here!!

    Nov 10, 2019
    This is a seriously hardcore hoody! Warm and cozy alllll day. It’s a little too big but I imagine might shrink some after first wash??. YES I would recommend to anyone looking for a decent quality priced product.

    buy long sized

    Great water RESISTANT hoodie

    Mar 3, 2021
    This thing actually does well in light rain. Great when you get caught in a downpour. The sleeves are nice and long for a tall guy! The pocket section is a little more baggy than the normal hoodies but not bad.

    Great Investment

    This hooded zipper is a great coverage for all seasons. My Husband wears this almost year round including the WI winters and this keeps him pretty warm. He's had the same hooded zipper for almost 3 years and is just now showing signs of wear and a few small holes.

    when its cooler and damp out

    Jun 28, 2018
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] when the temp is in the 60's and is cooler, and or damp with mist in the air and some what breezy this is the go to sweatshirt to keep warm and dry. the lining is perfect for the cooler breezy days and the rain defender technology can keep you working comfortably and dry for the good part of a day

    My husband liked it, fit him over his winter shirt

    I feel like Luke Cage in this Hoodie.

    By far the warmest and best looking hoodie, I've ever worn in yrs. 5-Stars across the board.

    It is lighter weight than my old one

    Jan 17, 2023
    wind goes thru it much easier than my old one which had the white insulation in it

    Good Sweatshirt....

    Nov 8, 2018
    Nice sweatshirt ... runs slightly large but not too bad. Zipper is sticky at the bottom when first zipping .. hope it gets better with use. But it's nice and warm .. happy with purchase. Oh yeah got caught in the rain with it on and it repels water like a duck. Very good feature for this garment!

    The best jacket I’ve ever had!!! This by far the warmest jacket I’ve had and I recommend it to everyone!!!

    Size down but definitely buy

    Sep 5, 2023
    I love the zip up, only thing I'd say is to definitely size down. Im 6'2 300lbs and normally wear a 3XT, wish I had ordered a 2XT with this order though because the 3XT is way baggy on me.

    Great jacket.

    Feb 21, 2021
    Very warm, Very comfortable. Dont even need a coat.

    Greatest Hoodie I have purchased in years

    Dec 30, 2016
    I try to purchase only quality clothing items and when this item was purchased a true home run was was hit! This hoodie fits, it is warm, it is a true fit and the color is for the male of the species!

    Perfect comfort

    Perfect fit, warmth for this Texas weather. Keeps the cold out.

    Perfect weight

    I love the weight of this hoodie. It feels like the light coat I wanted. The fit is perfect. Wish I had bought it years ago.

    I thought it would run kinda tight because I'm a big guy but this jacket is awesome

    Aug 15, 2017
    I would definitely recommend the Rain Defender Paxton Heavyweight Hooded Zip-Front Sweatshirt for any kind of outdoor work during cooler weather and its also pretty good to wear hunting!!!

    Gift.

    Dec 10, 2021
    It was a gift. Partner loved it!! Would definitely recommend.

    great gift

    Son uses it for outdoor work every day. Keeps him from getting soaking wet and keeps him warm too.

    Perfect work hoodie

    Great sweatshirt

    Dec 27, 2024
    I've been wearing your sweatshirts for a number of years & have found them to be very durable. I like the heavy weight & water resistant qualities. They hold up after being washed multiple times

    True to the name

    Oct 29, 2018
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the RD zip front sweatshirt and love it. I was out in the rain, a steady rain not a downpour, and stayed completely dry. It was about 55 and I stayed warm as well. Definitely recommend this jacket!

    good choice

    May 20, 2021
    Very high-quality made product. The products of Carhartt are always pleasing. The size S of the product was close to the European M.

    Great fit

    Mar 17, 2019
    Warm and fits great. Wear it all the time.

    Great Hoodie

    Jul 27, 2020
    Works and fits well. I like the extra flaps over the pockets to protect from stuff getting in. Also the smooth inside is great for layering because it doesn’t stick to your shirts.

    My husband lives it. It’s warmer than his regular sweatshirt. I will probably order another one for Christmas!

    hoody to keep you warm

    Apr 19, 2019
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great hoody only drawback is the so called cell phone pocket. It doesn't fit my phone and just gets in the way.

    Rain Defender Heavyweight

    Mar 12, 2022
    I have purchased the heavyweight zippered sweatshirt before and I loved it. They no longer seem to carry it so I purchased the heavyweight Rain Defender one. Different material and not as heavy. I don’t really care for it.

    Nice jacket

    Mar 28, 2020
    Nice jacket. I believe Carhartt has made the hoods bigger which is a bonus compared to the last two jackets I've owned. This actually covers my whole head with room for play. I just wish it had an inside pocket for my phone. I wear an XL in shirts, but with Carhartt jackets, I do a Large.

    Sweatshirt

    May 16, 2019
    I bought this for my husband and he absolutely loves it. Great fit and it keeps him warm during the cool nights. He likes the idea it’s rain resistant, but has had a chance to try it out. I feel it is worth the money and I will definitely be buying more.

    RAIN DEFENDER DEFEATS INDIANA WEATHER

    Jan 31, 2019
    I have worn this sweatshirt for the past year, it has held up well to the constant wear week after week. I wear a sweatshirt during the majority of the year, with the rain defender it is my go to in wet or snowy weather. I typically wear 2XL Tall, but I ordered a 3XL because of layering, sizing was accurate. I am planning on purchasing another so I can rotate and keep a clean sweatshirt available.

    Excellent sweatshirt

    May 15, 2017
    Very pleased with the purchase, quality and value. Thanks

    Little too large

    Feb 27, 2025
    I am normally a large-tall in carhartt clothes but this is more like an XXL, it's way too big and looks like a dress. When zipped up. It's 2 inches from my knee caps. However the quality is great and materials are holding up well to casual around the house wear and a few wash/dry cycles.

    Excellent product!!!! Very satisfied with my purchase.

    It's hard to find a jacket or sweatshirt in XLT and even if I find one, they usually are not long enough. I have bought sweatshirts from Carhartt for many years and they always fit like they are supposed to. Won't buy any other kind.

    Jan 21, 2019
    The rain defender hooded sweatshirt is comfortable and fits true to size

    I Wish It Was A Heavier Sweatshirt.

    Nov 11, 2021
    I wish it was warmer and more of a cotton heavy weight sweatshirt feel.

    Definitely a rain defense hoodie

    Nov 23, 2021
    Awesome jacket that repels water all day, it's an awesome zip up Hoodie, wish I'd had these at my job, when I was working full time, plus it's as warm as my insulated Carhartt hoodie,if not warmer

    It will keep you warm even when it is below 20 degrees. Perfect thickness to the fabric. The wind has a tough time trying to blow through the thick fabric.

    Perfect for construction work

    Zipper Broke Appart

    Sep 16, 2016
    I liked the sweatshirt but i was annoyed that the zipper broke appart, i bought it 2 month ago and it broke appart. I thought carhartt did durable clothing but i'm a bit dissapointed with this experience. The other things are okay, it's confortable, warm and runs true to size.
