Carhartt Yukon Extremes Insulated Active Jac vs Carhartt Firm Duck Traditional Coat

Both are Carhartt work coats, but they solve different problems. The Yukon Extremes Active Jac is the lighter, more weatherproof shell: Cordura nylon, Rain Defender DWR, reflective taping and a Thinsulate hood, rated Level 4. The Firm Duck Traditional Coat is the heavier, tougher cotton duck coat with arctic-weight insulation, a two-way zip and a bi-swing back, rated Level 3. Owners of the duck coat praise its durability and movement; the Yukon wins on wind and rain protection and packability.

• Choose the Yukon Extremes Active Jac if you work in wind, rain or sleet, want a hood built in, or need reflective visibility on a job site.
• Choose the Firm Duck Traditional Coat if you want maximum warmth in dry cold, a coat that shrugs off abrasion, and easier movement and driving.
