Carhartt mens full swing cryder jacket review

EDIT: One year later, still love this jacket. Couple design features can be improved, but overall it's a massive improvement over the regular cookie cutter Carhartts

After getting this jacket, it is actually pretty interesting how many simple but innovative design features there are in it. Scroll to the bottom for the quick summary review

The sleeves instantly stuck out to me. The inside of the sleeve has the compression cuff like you would see on a regular jacket. But on the outside, the sleeve extends a bit farther. And, the outside cuff isn't perfectly rounded. The top of it seems to be a bit longer then twords the bottom of the wrist, I assume to keep a bit of breeze off the back of the hand while keeping wrist mobility.
I love this feature. I always wear a watch too, so if it's not a blisteringly cold day, I will put the compression part before my watch, but the outer layer will still get to my wrist. The compression cuffs were definitely tight at first, but after a day or 2 of pulling them up my forearm, they stretched a bit to be comfortable.

The hood is easily detachable with the snap buttons. It is roomy inside with a beanie, and has a draw string to snug it up.

The outside is coated in a water resistant coating, but that is never permanent. I know you can use Greenland was to add more water resistance.

POCKETS......I like my pockets. I don't know how women do it, I need pockets. Typical work jackets haveing one little inside pocket doesn't do it for me. There are 2 nice big zipper pockets on the outside, big enough I can fit my big chunky phone with a case in. One inner chest pocket with zipper on the left, and a smaller inner chest pocket on the right with Velcro. And of course, 2 outside waist height pockets for your hands

Ive been wearing this in about 32°f in a light t-shirt with a beanie and I've been fine, im sure it can go a bit lower. It's roomy enough for sweater underneath (or 2)..

The "full swing" includes an arm pit and shoulder gusit to help you move without getting bound up. And because of this, the sleeves aren't super baggy, which is nice. But the chest and stomach is far too baggy for my taste. With all these features to allow better movement, it's annoying to see such a baggy front section. BUT, im on the more slender side of a blue collar worker at 5'9", about 170lbs

Oh, and I cut the Carhartt logos right off... I think they're ugly, and the jacket looks very nice without them.

These jackets take a licking and Keep on ticking. Sorry I don't know how else to explain how durable these jackets are. I put my jackets threw hell year round at my job. Other jackets would last me 3-5 months. Where these jackets last me 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 years at my job and then I still use them for personal use or donate them.

Amazing jacket, awesome fit, super super warm, by far one of the most stylish, affordable, comfortable and warm jackets I have ever seen. I orginally bought it for spring as I thought it was quite stylish, but it has really done wonders for this crazy cold winnipeg weather. Weather here can get as low as -40 degrees celisus, and this jacket doesn't show any signs of letting the cold in. This jacket is so fricking warm, I wish I bought one sooner, it matches style with warmth and the price is unbeatable.

Well made. Looks like a jacket but feels heavy like a coat. Fits great with lots of shoulder movement.

Comfortable relaxed fit. Warm enough for most winter days or add a sweatshirt underneath for coldest days. Lots of convenient pockets.

Two Times a Full Swing-er

I had never owned a winter jacket before, but after last winter I decided to invest in a proper winter jacket. I used money I received as a graduation gift to buy the Carhartt full swing jacket. I liked it so much, I started wearing it this fall when temperatures first dropped into the 50s (considered cold where I am originally from). In November, my car was broken into (while working on research at the archives of a historical state park) and the jacket (with my debit card in the pocket) was stolen. The new jacket owner went on a spending spree with my card and was not caught, but thankfully he will not freeze this winter. When I realized I would not be getting the jacket back, I purchased another, identical jacket. I am wearing it now and its great. Better wind and cold resistance than any hunting jacket I've ever used, and similar water resistance. Also, more professional looking than the Columbia fleeces I normally wear. Great jacket. Will replace again next time it is stolen .

Perfect jacket for me! Love the fit and love the pockets. I do a lot of work outside and it is the first coat that I have not felt restricted while working.

Bought this for my very active husband and he loves it. Unfortunately the lining on the inside slipped and causes a pinch when he lifts his arm but he’s too attached to his coat to exchange it.

Love this jacket, the review is for one I bought as a gift for my son. I have the exact same jacket I purchased from a local store. My son saw mine, tried it on and wanted one.

I’m in Year 3 with this style and it’s simply one great jacket! Functionally superb (especially the detachable hood), it’s also warm & dry. As soon as it’s available, my son will get one for Christmas. STYLE #102207
