I just got this jacket, have had it out in early New England cold weather and am completely satisfied. It's a perfect piece of active wear - meaning it's probably not the best choice for ice fishing, but it'll keep you nice and toasty if you're moving around outdoors in low temps. I think this will work all winter for me depending on layering. The hood is really nice too.The duck canvas has been water repellent but I'm definitely going to spray it down with waterproofing spray.

The sizing seems consistent with 2 other Carhartt jackets I have - I'm 5-10/175 and L fits perfectly with room for a sweater or sweatshirt underneath. It fits fine with just a shirt too - more room but not too much.

The color is serious high-vis orange which makes it a must-have if you're working/walking near traffic or out in the woods during hunting season.
