COMMENTS: What a versatile coat! I purchased my Carhartt jacket as a raincoat that I planned to wear in the fall, spring, and cold summer days. To my surprise, this jacket is also a good windbreaker. When the temperatures are in the 20's and 30's (and there's little wind chill), I been warm enough while wearing this jacket with a sweatshirt.
The retractable hood is the only feature that can be improved on this jacket. It has a velcro strap in the middle of hood. I wish the hood also had retractable straps on the two ends also.
BOTTOM LINE: recommended
