- How warm is the Montana jacket?
- It is insulated with a quilted nylon body lining and blocks wind, and owners say it stays comfortable to about 30 degrees when layered. It is a cold-weather jacket, not a lightweight shell.
- Does it keep out rain and wind?
- Yes. Rain Defender sheds rain and slush, and Wind Fighter blocks wind to reduce heat loss. It is water-repellent, not fully waterproof.
- How does the relaxed fit run?
- Carhartt builds it as a relaxed fit with a pleated bi-swing back for shoulder room. It runs roomy, so those between sizes or wanting a trimmer look may size down.
- What is the collar made of?
- The collar is trimmed in corduroy, which softens the neckline compared with plain shell fabric.
- How does it compare with Carhartt's other insulated jackets?
- The Montana adds stretch fabric, a bi-swing back and a corduroy collar, making it more flexible for active work than stiffer duck-canvas jackets. It trades some abrasion resistance for comfort and movement.
