Carhartt Men's ArcticQuilt Lined Duck Vest

As expected, good quality Carhartt product. 5x fit was excellent!

Great vest!! Durable and great quality.

Warm comfortable

I recently purchased this vest to replace my other one just like it that was over 30 years old. It is still good, just showing the age. It was too big. I asked for a return and exchange and immediately got one shipped even before I returned the first one, which I have now done. Great price and seller, better get one, these are the best.

Carhartt usually fits me weird. I have a thin athletic build. I'm 5'10 and 150lbs. A small fits every where but shoulders chest and back; way too tight. A medium usually fits in the shoulders, chest, and back and is way too big every where else. This vest fit me the best. I tried the medium and it was too big; especially around the lower torso. The small fit well but if it was any shorter or much smaller, like if it shrank in the wash much, it probably wouldn't fit. As it is now I can fit a t-shirt and hoodie underneath and it fits a little snug but still comfortable.The quality of this vest is outstanding and it seems very durable. The zipper is heavy duty. The front pockets are good sized and warm. The vest itself is really warm. I live in Kentucky and it's been kind of a mild winter. I'm warm natured but I've worn just the vest and a short sleeve shirt most of the winter. At work I've had to drive a forklift for a little over an hour at around 35-45° and with a thin shirt, the vest and gloves and a sock hat, I was plenty warm. Also, with the front pockets you get 2 layers of duck and 2 layers of insulation which adds a lot of warmth.This vest is really awesome and if it shrank much, I would buy a bigger size and have it tailored to fit, that's how much I like it.The only negative things I can say is the way that carhartt cuts their clothes the sizing can be difficult if you have an athletic build. That is still an issue with this vest but not nearly as bad as other carhartt I've tried. The other issue I've noticed is with rigidity of the duck fabric. While seated, if you're wearing the vest and it's zipped up, the vest gets pushed up to wear the collar is above your jaw and the bottom of the arm holes starts digging into your arm pits. Even if you pull the zipper down a quarter of the way, it's still a problem. It may get better with washing but I don't know because I haven't washed mine yet. Even with those negatives, I still think the best is awesome. If you wanted to wear it all the time while driving, like as truck driver, and need to have it zipped, it might not be for you.

These vests are the last of what I recall of “old Carhartt” from when I was younger. Their stuff has always run roomy, but in recent years the company has aggressively attempted to separate their workwear and high price high margin fashion business. They’ve done this by oversizing their workwear, and being more careless about the quality of materials and trim. The Detroit jacket and the barn coat you could wear on a job site and still look good for your lady after. Not anymore, they fit like parachutes and the lining detaches from the shell after a handful of washes. The Detroit’s plastic pocket zipper and dropline hems look cheap and slovenly. It’s comfortable to move outside in and cheap to replace but that’s about it.Not so here. This is the same V01 I bought in decades past, with warm lining and a tightly woven canvas shell. The zipper pull is a bit different, but still high quality. I have two, one from Nicaragua and the other from Mexico. They are indistinguishable.Get this one before they replace it with something worse and mark it up as “Carhartt WIP” at triple the price.

This vest can hold to any hard work or work environment. Fits great

Carhart makes excellent work gear and casual gear
