FAQs
What is the Rain Defender™ finish?
Rain Defender™ is a durable water-repellent finish that causes water to bead up and roll off the fabric, keeping you dry in light rain.
What kind of insulation does the vest have?
The vest is insulated with 100gram polyester insulation.
Is the vest windproof?
The vest features Wind Fighter™ technology, which helps to tame the wind and provides wind resistance.
What is the fit of the vest?
The vest has a relaxed fit. Carhartt is a workwear brand with a wider fit on the chest and shoulders. If you prefer a body-hugging fit, take the next smaller size.
How do I clean the vest?
Machine wash cold, tumble dry low, do not iron, do not dry clean, and use only non-chlorine bleach when needed.
What materials is the vest made of?
The shell is made of Cordura™ nylon, and the lining is nylon quilted to polyester insulation.
Does the vest have pockets?
Yes, the vest has a left chest pocket with a zipper, two lower-front pockets with hidden snap closure, and two interior pockets (one with a zipper and one with hook-and-loop closure).
Troubleshooting
Zipper sticks or is difficult to use.
Lubricate the zipper with zipper wax or a similar product. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Water is penetrating the vest.
Check if the DWR finish needs to be reapplied. Follow the care instructions and consider using a DWR re-treatment product.
