Alaska Cruise- Here I come with the Carhartt Storm Defender Jacket.
Eureka! I have found it! I have searched in person and online for weeks to find me a PERFECT fashionable windbreaker waterproof breathable raincoat for my Alaskan cruise in May. This is the one! FINALLY. I have returned at least four others already: they didn't fit- too small, too big, they don't move (with me), too cheap, too expensive, blocky, not waterproof, doesn't breathe, too heavy, too light, and JUST NOT RIGHT. I knew what I wanted: waterproof, windproof, ability to move/paddle a canoe, ability to add layers underneath, a detachable hood, zip pockets galore, hand pockets, thumbhole sleeves, adjustable butt coverage and this one has it ALL, and I'm not even sure what more I'll find. I found it when I started looking for sailing jackets. SIZING: Size XL (16/18) is true to my size 16, although maybe a bit roomy for me in the relaxed fit-- today I'm 5'5" at 191 lbs so it'd be good for a size 18. My only problem is that I didn't want ANOTHER black coat but the only other color doesn't suit me. Even so, this jacket does not look like "just another black contractor trash bag" jacket as is usually designed for those of my build. It makes me feel younger, athletic and looks good enough for me to post a picture. It does look big in the photo, so we'll see how it goes. Try it, you'll like it, and a great price, I say, compared to all those I searched. Have a great trip. You'll stay warm and dry in this one!.

Great buy
Such a nice jacked it isn't super stiff I can fit a sweatshirt or nano puff under if it super cold. Went with a small, I'm abt 5'3 130~lbs (Carhartt runs large so I went with a smaller size than I normally would). Keeps me dry, also love that it has the extended sleeve that loops through the thumb feels like it keeps warmth in. Love this jacket sm :)

StormDefender for Alaska
We both wore out storm defender in Alaska. Perfect outer layer and the hood is a must. The deep front pockets kept our valuable safe and dry.

Perfect for my Alaskan adventure!
I needed a new jacket for my Alaskan adventure and this was perfect! It’s water/wind proof, comfortable and stylish.
The inner sleeves that can hook over your thumb to keep the cold and wet out are a great feature. I Love all the pockets.
I highly recommend.

Best jacket ever
I have 2 of these jackets and bought this one for my daughter. Now she has both colors. We love this jacket. Great for rain or cooler weather. You can also add a hoodie underneath if u need more warmth. They last forever.

Love this coat!
Love the material, color (blackberry), weight and fit. Bought it as my new barn coat but decided I liked it for everyday instead. Will buy a second one now - a different color for the barn!

I like the coat and the color. It is a little big on me, but the size down would be too tight to wear with a sweatshirt.
It is very warm and kept me dry even in the pouring rain. Once inside, it dried quickly.

The coat that has everything!
This was a Christmas gift for my daughter in Texas. She really loves this jacket! Perfect for going to work or going for a long hike. Features 8 pockets to carry lots of stuff! Very comfortable, with excellent construction and design. I'm going to get this coat for myself when I need another one!

Best shell jacket
My favorite 4 season jacket! This jacket does not have a lot of warmth but is an extremely durable shell so I can wear it over light clothes in the spring/ summer to protect from rain and wind but can also layer it more heavily for the cold and it keeps me pretty well insulated! I am between a s and xs, I own both sizes in this and us the xs for summer/ light layering but the s for winter for more bulky layering

Nice jacket.
This is a nice, comfortable jacket. It doesn't weigh much, and you hardly notice that you are wearing it. It blocks the wind. I'm very pleased with this purchase and highly recommend it.

Incredible Performance and So Many Pockets!!!
I've worn this thing on my Harley with no windshield, in the rain, on the highway and didn't get wet. And pockets! The front flap pockets have side zippers on them so it's two individual pockets stacked on top of each other, not just access to the same one. Obsessed with this jacket!

Kept me completely dry !!
Bought this for a trip to Iceland and so happy I did! It poured !! I looked wet on the outside but I was completely dry on the inside. Jacket was also very breathable so I did not overheat. I loved all the pockets, kept my phone and other essentials completely dry.

Worth every cent
My wife loves this jacket and wears it all the time from fall to spring and even on the chiller summer bonfire nights. She's owned it for a few years now and it's been thrown in the washer a few time and it's held it's held up. Great quality and color. Highly recommend for long term use.

Nice jacket. Good fabric weight, not too heavy. Easy to maneuver in without feeling restricted. Side pockets are a bit weird in placement or size as they don't easily hold my gloves that keep falling out. Definitely keeps the rain and wind out.

No Satisfied
First day wearing the jacket, not what I expected. Fit is good. Some water enters the front pockets and the bottom of the coat slowly soaks in water. Not meant for working outside during heavy rain.
