Review Summary
Customer Images
Here's what customers have to say
The product is a heavy, water-resistant sweatshirt that provides good warmth and protection from the elements. Reviewers generally praised its comfort, durability, and ability to repel light rain and snow. However, some noted it may not be as water-resistant as claimed, especially in heavy rain. The sizing also seems to run large, with recommendations to order a size down. Overall, the sweatshirt is a well-made and popular product that offers good value.

Appears to be a sturdy, well-made hooded sweatshirt
Appears to be a sturdy, well-made hooded sweatshirt. The fabric is heavier and stiffer than a typical sweatshirt material, and the garment has some heft to it. The hood is slightly small, but I actually prefer that because it doesn't obstruct my peripheral vision when drawn up around my face. That may have been a design intention. I'm 5'10 165 lbs, the poster boy for medium sizing, and sizing down to a small was absolutely the right move to allow it to be worn as an under layer while still being roomy enough to be worn over a sweater. I would have been swimming in a size medium.

Fabulous
Perfect fit as usual. Was fishing in off and on drizzle. Water beaded off and under shirt stayed bone dry.

Full Zip Sweatshirt
It is a Birthday Gift for my husband in the middle of July! He does love it! Plenty of room to wear a heavy sweatshirt underneath. Well made jacket!

Wrong sweatshirt
I wasn't the sweatshirt i thought I ordered? I thought tilt was the rain defender that has the fuzzy type insulation.. This one definitely doesn't look warm at all.. I haven't taken the tags off or worn it ? I have a couple of the rain defenders with the heavier insulation that I really like?I would like to return ?

HAPPY Fathers Day
Both Dad and Son were really pleased with their new sweatshirts. The fit was great and the inside pocket - much appreciated. The bonus was the added benefit of the rain protection. Mom got it RIGHT! Thank you Carhartt.
