Berne Rigid Canvas Insulated Work Jacket vs DRI DUCK Laramie Canvas Work Jacket

The Laramie is the better jacket for most people. It has a wind-blocking hood, a heavy-duty YKK zipper, articulated elbows and a Flex Action back, so it moves with you and keeps wind out. The Berne Heritage Duck Chore Coat is a simpler button-and-zip duck coat with a water-repellent shell and storm cuffs, and it costs less. Owners of the Laramie rate it highly for warmth and freedom of movement, though some want insulated hand pockets. The Berne is the pick if you want a basic, roomy chore coat for light outdoor work.

• Choose the Berne Heritage Duck Chore Coat if you want a straightforward, roomy duck chore coat with a water-repellent shell and storm cuffs for light outdoor work and layering.
• Choose the Laramie Canvas Work Jacket if you want a hooded, wind-blocking work jacket that moves with you, with a heavy-duty zipper, articulated elbows and a phone pocket.
