Is this jacket actually flame resistant?

Yes. It is UL Classified to NFPA 2112 and meets NFPA 70E requirements, so it is built for arc-flash and flash-fire work environments.

How does it compare with Carhartt's traditional FR duck jacket?

The Quick Duck shell is lighter and the Full Swing panels add stretch through the shoulders and elbows. You give up some warmth and stiffness for easier movement.

Can it be worn in rain?

The Rain Defender finish repels light rain and splashes. It is not a waterproof shell, so sustained rain will soak through.

What is the fit like in big and tall sizes?

The cut is roomy through the body to layer over work clothes. If you want a closer fit, consider sizing down.

How should it be washed?

Follow the FR garment care label. Industrial laundering or home washing per the label keeps the flame resistance intact; do not use fabric softener or bleach.

The jacket only. No base layers or other FR garments are included.

Our take on the Carhartt Men's Big-Tall Big & Tall Flame Resistant Full Swing Quick Duck Jacket

The Carhartt FR Full Swing Quick Duck Shirt Jac is a flame-resistant work layer built on an 8.5 oz. Quick Duck canvas shell with Rain Defender water repellency. Full Swing construction adds stretch panels through the shoulders and elbows so you can reach and climb without the jacket pulling. It is UL Classified to NFPA 2112 and meets NFPA 70E, which puts it in the same category as heavier FR outerwear but in a lighter shirt-jacket cut. Owners of Carhartt FR gear tend to praise the mobility and the lighter weight for layering; the trade-offs are the stiff canvas at first and the limited warmth on its own in cold weather.
