Customer Reviews for Carhartt Men's Tall Large Peat Cotton/Polyester Rain Defender Paxton Hooded Heavyweight Sweatshirt

Sweatshirt fabric started pilling from day one, apparently from an elastic harness I wear for my birding binoculars. The rain defending may still work but the sweatshirt doesn't look nice, so its limited in use practically from day 1. If you have anything that may rub on this, like maybe a seatbelt, suspenders, etc... I'd be careful and get something else. This was only washed and hung to dry, so not an issue with laundering too much like Carhartt wanted me to believe. An issue with the fabric!

Best warmest most waterproof hoody in the world, comes with a secret 5th pocket in the kangaroo pouch

I do deliveries and am constantly in and out of the car, outside and it's January in NY wore it when it was in the 20's kept me warm for 12 hours, no problem! I bought a color I'm not thrilled with because it was on sale and overall am thrilled with the quality! I'm not easily impressed and this company has come through in quality!

Love it! We were getting pouring rain but the sweater stayed dry and warm from light sprinkling. Made camping so comfortable. We are gluing our camping patches on them and we wanted something long lasting as we plan on in having these forever.

Loose fit means loose lol read the description,great hoodie had this one over three years before retiring it!hoodie saved my arm from serious burns and wife's car!ordered same exact hoodie to replace this one,I beat the snot out of my clothes building in all kinds of weather!

Great sweatshirt.

Accidentally left it in a rainstorm overnight at work for 18 hours and found it almost completely dry the next day. It’s a very warm jacket and has definitely held up surprisingly well this time. Highly recommended

I’ve had the zipup version for work and it is absolutely amazing. I got the tidal colour for home and the heavyweight rain defender hoodies are the thickest hoodies you can buy. It’s like buying a hoodie in the 90’s before everyone cheaped out and preferred minimal effort while raising the prices. I’m 5’10 170 lbs and got the medium. Didn’t expect the pocket to be so wide since the midweight version is skinnier which i think looks better but big deal. Also the hood is much smaller on this tidal model for some reason

Got them for the whole crew doing our Christmas light show. Dealt with rain, wind and cold temps like a champ.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this hoodie!! I will be buying at least one or two more in different colors!!

Bought my first carhartt hoodie last year at this same time. Wore it a few times last winter and stored it for six months. Have worn it again this year off and on for the last month of so. The zipper has failed on it shredding apart near the bottom. It is now useless and I've barely worn it. At the price I paid last year for it I expected to be wearing it for years. Totally bummed out to say the least. Poor quality for the money I say.

QUALITY went DOWN. My 6 year old carhartt hoodies are better quality than the ones I bought last month. Already de-threading. I bought 4 one already has a hole in it from threads coming out and I’ve only worn it 2 times.

I’ve skied with this in all kinds of conditions and it keeps me dry and warm no matter. I got an XL bc I like baggy hoodies but L would have been a true fit (5’11” 175lbs)

Bought these hoodies. And washed one once and plastic on the drawstring came off. I bought my wife a hoodie also and it seems to be tearing. It seems that quality over all has taken a dip. And i can send pictures to show the hoodie

Stout — when compared to heavyweight hoodies from a variety of makers and a bit heavy in actual weight. They're not exactly snuggly like couch hoodies, these are made for work. As for the word "duty", I have two of these that were purchased as factory seconds 8 or 9 years ago and they are still my go-to hoodies. The elastic continues to hold and snap-back. I've alternated wearing these at least 3 times a week, 9 or more months out of the year, almost a decade of work trimming and shoeing horses for a living and a DIY home owner. Most durable hoodies i've ever owned, bar-none! Wear on the forearms is from grabbing the material and pulling the sleeves up throughout the workday. Rain Defender: I don't remember how many times they were washed before the treatment had worn off, but when it was still functional it would turn misty rain, though heavier drops will plow right through it.

Excellent hoodie, super comfortable and well made.

Love these sweatshirts very warm and definitely help when it is raining

Loose Fit makes to roomy for another shirt or two underneath! A classic.

I would recommend this to anyone who asked! Fits perfectly, super comfortable and true to size

perfect weight, love it, it is the third one I bought

Bought this for my husband to replace the Carhartt sweatshirt he had for 15 years! He loves this one

It has thick material, so it's great on colder days. Fits great, not too tight. This is my second one.

This hoodie is thick, warm and the rain beads right off. The little pocket in the pouch is cool too.

I love the Rain Defenders. Been wearing them for a couple decades plus. Even when I worked outside as a terminal aircraft mechanic at O'Hare for United Airlines until I retired!

Great hoodie, really thick and warm. Rain defender function is great.

Love it comfortable and warn and it keeps the rain off.so.you stay dry

I wanted a really heavy duty hoodie for my motorcycle. This thing is very warm and comfortable. Its heavy, but not uncomfortable. Its also very durable, I use it for working in the garage as well and it holds up. If you want a very warm, comfy, quality hoodie, look no further.

My go to hoodie, great fit and great quality. The rain resistance is an added benefit and worth the small cost over the Carhartt lose fit midweight hoodie.

Very nice durable quality and fits great on my husband.

Perfect hoodie, it's super heavy and comfortable and also feels really durable. Water beads on the outside so it really is water-resistant, I'll probably keep it going with some waterproofing spray. Worth the price.
