The Carhartt Rain Defender Relaxed Fit Midweight Sherpa-Lined Full-Zip Sweatshirt is built for cold, damp days on the job. It pairs a 10.5 oz cotton-blend fleece shell with a thick sherpa lining, giving you serious warmth in a hoodie that’s easy to layer and move in.
A Rain Defender durable water repellent finish helps the shell shed light rain, so you stay drier when the weather turns. Sherpa lining runs through the body and the extended hood, and quilted nylon lines the sleeves so the sweatshirt slides on easily over a shirt or thermal.
A full-length antique nickel zipper with a storm flap helps block wind, and spandex-reinforced rib-knit cuffs and waistband hold their shape and keep the cold out. Front handwarmer pockets with flaps, a hidden inside media pocket, and a locker loop round out a hoodie made for real work.
