This is my new favorite winter jacket. It’s very good at keeping me warm and it’s great for layering purposes because there is no fleece in the sleeves to make it easier getting in and out of the jacket which I find to be difficult when the sleeves are fleece lined. Although, it is fleece lined everywhere else to keep you warm. The cuffing along the waistline is an additional touch that I love because I feel like it keeps heat in better. It’s also very easy to move around in, I don’t feel super constricted like I do with most heavy jackets (like randy from Christmas story). I would highly recommend this jacket.

Almost perfect, just don't sit or bend over.

I love everything about this jacket except the elastic at the waist. It blocks the wind beautifully and keeps me dry in the rain. The flex fit or whatever it's called is great and nice and loose in the elbows and shoulders. The only problem is that you cannot bend over without the elastic at the waist pulling right up and taking your shirt with it. This is how plumbers get that reputation, well the same is true for carpenters and farmers. So, as long as you are standing it's great, just don;t sit or bend. I wear a medium which fits perfectly in the arms and shoulders, perhaps it should be coat length?

Disappointing

I don’t like it.I am a tradesman and need access to my belt and pockets constantly.The jacket I have purchased and worn for over 20 years was discontinued for some reason and I will need to start looking elsewhere nowThe pockets in my usual jacked never had anything fall out.The First day, I lost something out of one of the side pockets. The inside pockets are different and the felt lining makes it difficult to put on and causes static. I do not like the attached hood. I have a detachable hood for my old jackets that worked just fine.

Excellent jacket, fit is a little long in the body

This jacket is amazing! I love the storm cuffs, we'll designed pockets and gusseted shoulders. It is also very warm! I am 5'8" 175lbs, my only issue is that it is long in the body and the elastic is quite tight- I reckon the elastic will loosen up and maybe a wash will allow the excess fabric to fold over. Sleeve length, however, is great.

Great Jacket, Great Investment

The best thing about it is how durable and warm it feels. I have zero regrets about buying the jacket. The pockets are great, especially the phone pocket on the chest. I put my wallet, phone, keys, and more into that pocket and it fits it all comfortably. The range of motion they have archived is also fantastic. It barely rides up if you are reaching up high to work on something. Overall a great investment into a great jacket which i hope will last a very long time.

It's A Carharrt...You Already Know!

I had my last Carharrt 14 years...as a casual multipurpose jacket more than anything but, it saw the world of a redneck! It went to restaurants, endless off-roading sessions, it hunted, changed the oil, chopped wood, brawled, was attacked by a Pitbull (with me in it) it even went to a funeral (remember, I'm a redneck)...I did everything BUT work in it...my job is in a 100 degree factory, year round, so no need for a jacket in there! Anyway, it had it's share of slag-holes from welding, but it is still back there in need of a zipper, that just gave-up last month.So the other day I decided it was time to finally buy another Carharrt jacket, and I worried, "Do they still make them as well as they used too?"...as so much has changed in the world, and seldom for the ... MoreI had my last Carharrt 14 years...as a casual multipurpose jacket more than anything but, it saw the world of a redneck!

Luckily for me my store was out of the regular jacket in my size, and so I had to opt for the "FullSwing" Active. It's frigid here in Indy and I didn't make it out of the parking-lot before putting it on in the truck. My answer to "do they still make them as well" was instantly answered when I reached for the steering-wheel of my truck...SO MUCH BETTER! This thing is heavier than my old one, obviously just as tough and well made, but it was like I didn't have a jacket on when I reached for that steering wheel! No restriction of motion whatsoever! That's some cool stuff!When I got home I reached over my head, out to my sides, for my shoe-laces...all as effortless as reaching for the wheel. Who would have ever thought so much awesome engineering could go into something like a jacket, and make that huge a difference? I'm very impressed, and I'm never impressed.My only complaint is that I wish more stores stocked the large-guy sizes, in full array, such-as this jacket in the tall. I'm 6'2, 280 pounds. The 2XL fits me well enough, save for the length, but that's more a sore thing (Meijer) than a manufacturer thing. I'm not the kinf=d of person that returns things for any reason, so Im'ma keep it but, I hate having to settle all the time. I have a size 15 foot, so I get it there all the time too. Life.BUY THIS JACKET! And any other Carharrt product...you can't go wrong spending a little more for something that will last five x's longer!

It's Heaver Than I Had Hoped

This Full Swing Loose Fit Washed Duck Fleece-Lined Active Jacket is a good deal much more that I had hoped for. It's a great jacket for working in the cold/wet, but I wanted something much lighter weight. I already had a heaver jacket which is longer than this one. I would rate this jacket 5 stars, but I just wanted a lighter weight jacket. It's great, but a bit too much for me. It's very nice looking (Smoke color).

Sizing couldn't be any more off but great jacket

Great jacket, love the full swing but sizing is way off. Please update your sizing charts. I ordered this jacket 3x. My girlfriend originally got me the J140 for Christmas in large and it was huge, I could fit another full size coat underneath. She returned it and I ordered this in a large again looking at the charts and fit reviews on the website. Nope too wide again but length was good, so I got the medium long. Nope, the medium long was longer then the large, again, I had referred to the charts and the reviews, they were wrong. Finally got the medium it's great but I live in the desert so getting it right in March means it will used a few times maybe then hang til October or November, thanks!5'11" chest 44" waist 36" shoulders 21" just to reference

Wide Shoulder Woman--Full Range of Motion--Vertical Pockets--A Bit Stabby

I love how this feels. Very durable and plenty of room in the hood. I didn't consider that the pockets have a vertical opening, so when I go to walk my dog I can't clip the treat pouch anywhere. I couldn't reach the waistband because I got the tall version as that's what I normally order in women's clothes (I am a 5'9'' woman) and I forgot I was ordering a men's cut coat because of my wider shoulders. The range of motion is incredible, and being autistic, if I'm in constrictive clothing I would rather rip them off, burn them, and use the flames for a couple more seconds of warmth before freezing to death. I don't feel that way in this coat as all. I love it! What I will say, is if you get the tall version and you aren't taller than 5'9'', the front of the collar ... MoreI love how this feels.

What I will say, is if you get the tall version and you aren't taller than 5'9'', the front of the collar stabs you in the neck and under the chin. The thick material stays stiffly in that position too, so I folded it over with binder clips and it worked like a charm.

XLarge Full Swing

I work maintenance on a golf course so I’m outside all the time. This coat keeps me warm under most conditions. If there is a light rain, no problem. During heavy showers I will break out the rain suit. The “Full Swing” cut is very comfortable, I never feel binding in the elbows, shoulders, or armpits. Now the fit … I am 6’1” and 190 lbs. I like my clothes loose fitting, and I do layer on colder days. I got an XLarge and the fit is perfect for me. If you need a coat for outside work, you can’t go wrong with this one. Highly recommended!
