Carhartt’s new Rain Defender insulated bodywarmers

The weather might be getting brighter, but while it′s still cool enough to need some core warmth, Carhartt′s Rain Defender relaxed-fit, lightweight, insulated vest (102286) has got you covered. Designed to make water bead-up and roll off, this vest, with its triple stitched main seams, keeps you dry in a light rain and is ideal for use in the Spring, when rain showers can still catch you out.

The vest’s durable sleeveless Cordura fabric shell is lined with smooth nylon and is great for layering up – its lightweight design means it sits well beneath heavier coats in very cold weather. Wind Fighter technology tames the wind and keeps you warm right to the core of your body.

There is plenty of storage space too. The left chest pocket has a zip and is ideal for keeping valuables safe, while two lower front pockets feature a hidden snap closure and are ideal for keeping your tools close to hand. Inside the vest, there are two further pockets, one with a zip, and the other with a hook and loop closure.

Expect a perfect fit too: the drop tail and draw cord adjustable hem means you can adjust the jacket so it’s just right for you. Cut slightly loose for a comfortable fit while you work hard, the vest is available in black, Carhartt brown, navy and shadow.
