When the rain starts to fall, most jobs can’t simply stop. When on site, you need gear that won’t let wet weather slow you down, which is where Carhartt’s Rain Defender™ comes in. Designed for tradespeople and outdoor workers, this innovative range of sweatshirts, jackets, vests and accessories shields wearers from light rain, keeping you dry, comfortable and focused on the task at hand.

At the core of the range is Durable Water Repellent (DWR) technology, which forces rain and moisture to bead up and roll off the surface. Unlike heavy waterproofs, Rain Defender™ products are lightweight and breathable, which allows you to keep moving without overheating. This results in reliable protection without compromising performance.
Notable items include the Rain Defender™ Loose Fit Heavyweight Quarter-Zip Sweatshirt (100617), which combines the cosy feel of a favourite fleece with practical wet-weather protection. Featuring DWR-treated fleece, a mock neck for extra warmth and a concealed security pocket inside the front handwarmer pocket, it’s made from a durable cotton/polyester blend – perfect for everyday graft.
For colder, more exposed conditions, the Super Dux™ Relaxed Fit Insulated Traditional Coat (105002) blends Carhartt heritage with technical performance. Its lightweight yet tough nylon shell features Rain Defender™ Rugged Flex™ for ease of movement and Wind Fighter™ to keep out gusts. With quilt lining, a chin guard and plenty of pockets, this coat is built for long days outdoors.
The women’s Montana Relaxed Fit Insulated Jacket (105457) is crafted from Carstrong™ quilted nylon to block wind and repel light rain, while synthetic insulation and sherpa lining lock in warmth. Thoughtful details such as a drop-tail adjustable hem, storm flap and multiple secure pockets make it an ideal choice for unpredictable weather.
From sweatshirts and jackets to vests, backpacks and tool belts, Carhartt Rain Defender™ offers a complete line-up for working in wet weather. Whatever the job throws at you, this range keeps wearers dry, comfortable and ready to get on with the day – come rain or shine.
