Rain Defender and Wind Fighter
Rain Defender is Carhartt's durable water-repellent (DWR) finish. It keeps you dry and moving in light rain. Wind Fighter technology tames wind. Most of the jackets, vests and soft shells we carry use both, and the Rugged Flex soft shells and Super Dux pieces add stretch for ease of movement.
