COMMENTS: I'm a coach in New Hampshire, so I'm out in the elements a lot. Wind, rain, and very cold weather are normal days here. As a coach I have to be out in the weather with no shelter for a while. That being said, this jacket rocks! As with all carhartt stuff, it runs a little big. I usually wear an XXL Tall, so I ordered an XL Tall and it fits perfect! I don't have to really layer anymore, this jacket is so warm. I actually have to make sure it's cold enough to grab this jacket otherwise I'll just be too hot. It's very durable, wind-proof, water-resistant (haven't tried it in an all-out down pour yet, but it looks like it would eventually soak through a little). Over all an awesome jacket that performs well and looks great... if you're a burly, carhartt kind of guy. This jacket is not recommended for the metro-sexual.
BOTTOM LINE: recommended
