Cold, wet weather is part of the job in winter, so a reliable outer layer is essential
From lightweight, packable anoraks to heavyweight jackets built for tough conditions, Carhartt’s range of coats and jackets covers every base.
If you’re looking for insulation without bulk, the Montana Loose Fit Insulated Jacket (107082) offers solid warmth with dependable weather protection. Available in black or Carhartt Brown, it uses Syncloud Loft insulation alongside a soft sherpa lining to keep you snug. The waterproof finish repels light rain and Wind Fighter technology blocks biting gusts. It’s got plenty of practical pocket storage too and comes in a loose fit, making it ideal for easy layering.
The Storm Defender Heavyweight Jacket (104670) is built for severe weather. It has a breathable membrane which keeps rain out while allowing moisture to escape so you won’t end up cold and clammy even if you build up a sweat. For a more traditional workwear feel, the Washed Duck Bartlett Jacket (103826) is designed to take on cold, wind and tough conditions. Made from durable cotton duck, it’s rugged without feeling rigid. Sherpa fleece lining through the body and hood keeps you warm while quilted nylon sleeves make layering and movement easier.
Carhartt’s women’s range offers the same level of performance and practicality. The Storm Defender Heavyweight Jacket (102382) is one of the most popular waterproof options, combining protection from heavy rain with breathable comfort. Lightweight but robust, it has multiple zipped, flap and internal pockets along with a detachable three-piece hood for added versatility.
For insulated warmth, the Washed Duck Active Jac (104053) has been designed using feedback from Carhartt Crew volunteer testers. It comes in a loose, comfortable fit with lightweight Thinsulate insulation, triple-stitched seams and a full-length front zip to keep cold air out. With two interior and two front pockets, it’s a practical choice for everyday winter work.
When rain is the main concern, Carhartt has some lightweight, versatile designs. The Monterey Jacket, available in both men’s (105751) and women’s (106904) versions, uses Storm Defender technology with fully seam-sealed construction to block wind and heavy rain. Despite its weather protection, the jacket is lightweight and can be packed into its own pocket when not in use, making it easy to keep on hand when conditions change.
For something lighter still, the Rockland Anorak (105749), with women’s version (105861), is designed to keep you moving through cool temperatures and light rain. Its loose cut makes it easy to throw on over hoodies or sweatshirts and when the weather improves it packs neatly into its own zipped pocket. Wind Fighter protection, an adjustable three-piece hood and secure zipped pockets make it a practical layer to keep close at hand.
From packable anoraks to heavyweight duck jackets, Carhartt’s outerwear range is built to handle winter from every angle. Each piece focuses on protection, durability and comfort, giving trades a choice of layers that stand up to the conditions day after day.
