Carhartt 100120 - Mankato Jacket

This has quickly become my favorite Carhartt jacket and I've owned quite a few. The lightweight quilted lining provides plenty of warmth and ample sizing allows for ease of movement when layered over other winter clothing. By itself, the coat is enough protection in freezing temps but when layered with a Carhartt hooded sweatshirt, the Mankato is up to the challenge of all but the harshest North American weather. The waterproof breathable membrane shrugs off water like your best rain jacket, making it the ideal snow storm or cold rain storm protection. The quilted, removable hood is a huge plus. Zippered waist pockets are cavernous and chest pockets adequately large. Innovative curved-cut cuff keeps it from wearing on the back of your thumb. A big downside is the small, finicky, dual-head zipper that is hard to engage under normal circumstances, and even harder to use while wearing gloves. The chest pocket flaps are tiny have no means of securing them in the closed position- a shame since the pockets themselves are of a very useful size. Single-stitched seams are a minor concern but they are definitely an area for improvement for a jacket of this quality. The negatives of the undersized zippers and un-securable chest pocket flaps can be overlooked but keep me from giving this otherwise perfect jacket my highest rating.

I purchased this jacket after seeing one in person at dicks sporting goods but they didn't have my size at the time. This jacket is very warm and comfortable. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is due to how much the black jacket shows dirt and lint. I would recommend a different color

When I received the jacket I knew the quality was great as always with Carhartt. Awesome looks and fit. It's now one of my favorites.
