Carhartt Men's Rain Defender® Quarter Zip Hoodie

Its not the same length as regular sweatshirts, wouldnt have bought it if id known that!!!!

I really like this sweatshirt overall-it's a solid, heavyweight piece that performs well in tough conditions. The first day I wore it, it was 38 degrees with freezing drizzle, and I used it as an outer layer. It held up well. The rib-knit cuffs and waistband kept the wind out, while the mock-neck collar and hood kept my neck and head warm. It also shed light rain better than expected. I'm knocking off one star for two reasons. First, the color-I ordered Dark Tranquil Blue Heather, but what I received is noticeably lighter than shown online. Not a bad color, just not as pictured. Second, a durability concern. The material on the sides is already showing wear from reflective armbands I use regularly, which I didn't expect from a Carhartt product. Overall, still a warm, well-built sweatshirt, and the mock-neck collar is a great feature.

Quality of material, 1/4 zip opening greatly enhances garment versatility in changing situations and conditions.
