- Is the Paxton warm enough for winter?
- It is a heavy 13-ounce fleece, warm as a midlayer or on mild winter days. In deep cold or steady rain, wear it under a shell.
- Does Rain Defender keep you dry?
- It sheds light rain and drizzle. It is a water-repellent finish, not a waterproof membrane, so prolonged rain will soak through.
- How does the fit run?
- Carhartt lists it as loose fit, so it runs roomy through the chest and body. Size down if you want a closer cut.
- How does it compare with Carhartt's Rain Defender hoodies?
- Same fleece and finish, but the Paxton has a mock neck and quarter zip instead of a hood, so it layers better under a jacket.
- What is the hidden pocket for?
- A small security pocket sits inside the front handwarmer pocket, sized for keys, a card or a phone.
- How should I care for the water-repellent finish?
- Wash cold and tumble low, and avoid fabric softener. Re-treat with a spray-on DWR when water stops beading.
