Description
Product Overview
Carhartt’s Storm Defender waterproof work jacket combines industrial‑grade protection with everyday comfort. Constructed from a 100% cotton duck shell that has been treated with Carhartt’s proprietary Storm Defender waterproof, breathable technology, the jacket repels water while allowing moisture to escape. The 10K/5K rating means the fabric can withstand 10,000 mm of water pressure while still delivering a breathability rating of 5,000 g/m²/24 h, ensuring sweat is vented during high‑intensity tasks. Fully‑taped seams seal every stitch, eliminating potential leak points, and the Wind Fighter laminate on the exterior reduces wind chill without sacrificing flexibility. Available in a wide range of sizes—from Small to 4X‑Large Tall—and colors such as Carhartt Brown/Black, Tarmac, Desert/Gravel, and Forestry Green, the jacket meets the fit and style preferences of a diverse workforce. Model number 105751, released September 10 2024, carries a Carhartt warranty that can be requested through customer service.
Usage
This jacket is designed for professionals who spend long hours outdoors in variable weather conditions. Whether you are a carpenter on a construction site, a landscaper clearing a field, or a utility worker maintaining infrastructure, the Storm Defender provides the barrier needed against rain, wind, and drafts. Its breathable membrane prevents overheating during strenuous activity, making it suitable for spring thunderstorms, winter rain, and even hot, humid days when sweat management is critical. The durable cotton duck exterior resists abrasions and snagging, while the interior brushed lining adds warmth without bulk, allowing you to layer underneath for colder climates.

FAQ
Is the jacket truly waterproof or just water‑resistant?
The Storm Defender jacket is fully waterproof, tested to a 10,000 mm water column, and features fully‑taped seams that prevent water ingress even in heavy rain.
Can I wear this jacket in sub‑zero temperatures?
While the jacket provides excellent wind protection and a brushed interior for warmth, it is best paired with insulated layers for sub‑zero conditions. The outer shell itself is not insulated.
How do I care for the waterproof coating?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water, use a mild detergent, and avoid fabric softeners. After washing, tumble dry low or air dry, then apply a Carhartt‑approved DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to maintain performance.
What is the warranty coverage?
Carhartt offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Warranty requests can be submitted through customer service using the provided ASIN B0DGLBZ9X1.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The exterior pockets feature water‑resistant zippers and are positioned to minimize water entry, but they are not fully sealed. For critical items, consider using internal zippered pockets.
