Spend enough time working outside this spring, and you’re inevitably going to get stuck in the rain at least once or twice. Rather than having to run for cover every time you feel a few raindrops land on your head, wouldn’t it be nice if you could continue to work in the rain without the precipitation taking a toll on your plans?
Carrying around a rain jacket all the time is a simple way to stay one step ahead of Mother Nature, but it isn’t always the most convenient option. So, why not invest in a water-repelling sweatshirt to wear on days when rain is in the forecast instead? The Carhartt Rain Defender 1889 Graphic Sweatshirt is a great option, and if you act fast, you can get 40% off when you purchase it right now. This malt-colored Carhartt hoodie typically retails for $67 at Amazon, but it’s currently on sale for just $40 in sizes M to XXL. You can also pick it up in XXXL and XXXXL sizes for $43, down from its regular retail price of $72.
Featuring “CARHARTT EST. 1889” written across the chest and the brand’s logo on the front pocket, this sweatshirt is relatively light on branding. However, it has all the next-level features you would expect to find in a high-quality Carhartt sweatshirt. They include a large three-piece hood with a drawcord closure, reinforced rib-knit cuffs, and a front pocket that works wonders, whether you’re using it to warm your hands or carry tools.
Still, the best part about this sweatshirt is that it uses Carhartt’s proprietary Rain Defender durable water-repellent (DWR) technology. As a result, any water that lands on it will instantly bead up and roll right off the hoodie any time you’re exposed to the elements.
“It will actually keep you dry,” one reviewer wrote. “It’s sturdy, comfortable, and built for the real world. Whether you’re out running errands or working outdoors, it’s rugged enough for the job, but casual enough for everyday wear.”
“I love this hoodie!” another shopper added. “The materials used to make it are tough, and I expect it to be a durable, long-lasting sweatshirt.”
