How warm is the Washed Duck Active Jac?

It has 80-gram 3M Thinsulate quilted into the body, sleeves and hood, so it handles cold, windy days as an outer layer. It is not a sub-zero parka; in deep cold you would layer underneath.

How does it differ from the men's WJ130?

This is the women's version of the WJ130, cut for a female frame with the same duck shell, Thinsulate lining and work details. Sizing runs differently, so check the fit rather than assuming the men's size carries over.

Does the canvas soften over time?

The duck is sanded and brushed for a softer hand than raw canvas, but it still starts firm. Owners report it loosens and softens with wear.

What pockets does it have?

Two large hand pockets, a pen stall in the right one, and two interior pockets, one zippered and one hook and loop. A locker loop sits inside the collar.

Is the hood removable?

No. The three-piece hood is attached, quilted-flannel lined and has a drawcord closure.

Is it good for everyday wear or only for work?

It is built for outdoor work and cold chores, and the softer finish makes it wearable casually. It is heavier and bulkier than a fashion jacket.

Our take on the Carhartt Women's Washed Duck Active Jac

The Women's Washed Duck Active Jac is Carhartt's women's take on the classic WJ130 active jacket. It pairs a 12-ounce ring-spun cotton duck shell with a nylon lining quilted to 80-gram 3M Thinsulate in the body, sleeves and hood, so it is built for cold outdoor work rather than city layering. The duck is sanded and brushed for a softer hand than raw canvas, and details like elbow pleats, triple-stitched seams and rib knit cuffs and waistband are aimed at people who move and work in it. Against lighter hoodies and fashion jackets it trades bulk for warmth and abrasion resistance; against heavier Carhartt parkas it is more flexible and easier to layer. Owners of the WJ130 line generally rate the warmth and toughness highly and note the canvas starts stiff before breaking in.
