Carhartt Quick Duck Sawtooth Parka
Get itA lot of parkas seem like theyโre just for show. But the Quick Duck Sawtooth Parka from Carhartt really works. Perfectly structured and ruggedly handsome, it was pretty stiff out of the box. But now that itโs broken in, itโs still rugged but no longer rigid.
The Sawtooth is made with quick duck canvas, which is lighter but tougher than traditional sandstone duck. Pockets are bountiful inside and out, and thereโs plenty of adjustability that lets you dial in the ideal fit. The strong, two-way zipper closure has a snap-button weather flap, and combined with triple-stitched, fully sealed seams thereโs just no way inclement weather is getting in. Thinsulate insulation provides warmth without the weight, and to top off all that weather-resistance, itโs got Carharttโs Storm Defender waterproof coating, which stops water but is somehow super-breathable.ย
The details and durability are typical Carhartt. But whatโs got me truly appreciating the Quick Duck Sawtooth Parka is its $200 price tag. You could pay two or three (or four?) times that much for a parka from some trendy tech company or fancy fashion label, and it wouldnโt work as hard, last as long, or look any better than this. Itโs available in black or classic Carhartt brown.โJon Langston, Commerce Editor
