Carhartt Force Equator Jacket- Gear Review

It's summer and that means a heavy dose of rain on what is quickly becoming a regular basis. Every person needs a rain coat, I'm not talking about your poncho that you received when in the scouts, but a rugged, durable and extremely comfortable coat. This is where the Carhartt Force Equator Jacket comes in.

I have thrown on this coat with even the smallest threat of rain. It's extremely light and surprisingly good at regulating temperature. Put a sweatshirt on underneath and you are perfectly content to stand out in the coldest of rains that the season can throw at you. The waterproofing is exceptional, walking through campus with absolutely no fear of my electronics getting wet underneath. Once inside, a simple flick of the shoulders and the water has practically disappeared from sight. 

Carhartt has always had the reputation of making excellent and rugged products and this jacket lives up to that. One thing that drives me crazy is having the zipper get stuck, absolutely no threat of this and zero signs of failure. This jacket can be worn anywhere, with the ability to blend from the work site to the bar. With the monsoon season they call summer, this rugged but fashionable men's rain gear has become a staple in my daily fashion.
