Opinions on carhartt hooded jacket please.

Products change, and I haven't owned a Carhartt jacket since high school (17 years ago...). But, I can say this about the one I did own back then:

I was working on the weekends as a farm hand on a dairy farm for extra cash, and my clothes kept getting tore up by various stuff on the farm (nails sticking out of fences, etc.), so I bought the Carhartt jacket. As a work jacket, it was incredible. Nothing could hurt it. Whereas those nails sticking out of fences would rip my old shirts and jackets to shreds, they wouldn't rip the Carhartt. But as an insulating jacket, it sucked. Despite being relatively heavy, it did not keep you warm, at all.
 
I love mine. They wear like Iron. They are warm and while not waterproof, they shed water pretty well. My only complaint is the hood. While I dont use it that much, They need to be bigger. Its tight on my head when I have it up and is too close to the back of my head and neck when down, which is kind of irritating sometimes. I dont regret buying the coat though. Will wear it till it falls apart, and I think that will be a long long time considering the way they are made.
 
I lost mine a while back......still mada bout it, I liked it a lot, it was freaking tough as hell.
I always worked in a barn with mine, in the middle of the north east TN winter, I wore a base layer under it and was very comfortable. My only complaint was that the hood wouldn't turn with my head, but that was the price for getting tough fabric, it wasn't as flexible

My ex actually had one save her from a dog bit when she was younger, dog was only able to get the carhart jacket...the jacket was fine lol
 
Carhartt's quality is outstanding. I work on an oil rig here in Canada and thats pretty much all we wear to and from the rig. I've had my Carhartt work jacket for going on three years now and you wouldn't think I have ever done anything in it. Its the best hard use clothing you can get IMO.
