Carhartt Men's Rain Defender Rutland Thermal Lined Hooded Zip-Up Sweatshirt Jacket - Water-Resistant Winter Work Hoodie for Outdoor Jobs, Construction & Cold Weather Activities

Pros:-Very Warm:It's not a coat that's going to keep you warm enough when it's below zero with tons of snow outside, but it'll definitely keep you warm during the cold fall/spring weather and it also serves as a wonderful undercoat. I find myself getting too hot whenever wearing it, even working outside in ~15 - 20F weather.-Material:I personally like the material. The inside has a sort of patterned black lining with a sort of ""rubber"" feel to it. (I don't like using the word rubber for it, but it's about the closest approximation I can get). Assumably the material is there for extra insulation and waterproofing and I can assure you that I've never once felt a drop of water make it inside this coat after wearing it for multiple months and in the heavy rain a few times already.-Zipper:This one is important to me, because really, if it falls off the coat becomes a lot less useful. The zipper is made out of a really nice (brass?) metal, which will NOT easily fall apart. I've had coats in the past where zippers falling off was an issue, so this durable zipper is definitely a plus.-Pockets:It has the obvious two outside pockets, as well as an inner left hand side pocket about halfway up the chest. I find it perfect for storing my phone, especially since I know it won't be getting wet in there.-Comfort:It definitely is not a giant pillow strapped to you. There is a textured feel of the material itself that is not soft and cushy, but more textured than anything else. I wouldn't say it felt uncomfortable at all, I personally like the material and find it hard to see why anyone would dislike it.-Weight:It's definitely heavier than some other zip ups I've had and I love it. The weight really makes it feel like it's actually living up to what it's worth, while not being too heavy to make it a burden to wear.-Size:I bought a large and I usually wear large shirts, XL if I want a bit looser and Large seemed to fit me perfectly. Not much else to say about size.-Build Quality:This coat is DEFINITELY built VERY DURABLY. I've tossed it around, got it caught on things, rubbed up against wood/metal etc. and this jacket just holds up very well. It feels very nice and not like a cheap thin or plastic jacket would.Cons:The only real con I could think of is possibly the lack of a "super comfortable" inside material. Like I said before, it doesn't matter to me, but it'd probably be a bit nicer if it did have a softer inside material. That being said, it still is something I can wear all day and have no problems with.Overall: I definitely recommend this to anyone who really needs a warm transitional coat from summer to winter and also a coat that'll work underneath another to keep you even warmer. It's durable, built to last, pretty much everything a good coat is.
