Anyone can vouch for Carhartt extreme weather jacket?

Was in -11 working nights in Colorado. My beard was frozen solid but that jacket plus the bibs, cold never touched me.

The Extreme line is great. I had the American Made hooded coat in level 3 and the Extreme bibs that zip to the waist. Worked in -36 in Nebraska a couple years ago and spent most of the night outside. Had layers on underneath and stayed warm.

I bought a thick jacket with a hoodie from them a few years ago, not sure what model. Unless it is the coldest weather we see in Louisiana, I start sweating in it with the least activity.

A good question is what is a good alternative to Carhartt? They do make some quality winter work gear.

If you're looking at FR, Ariat makes nice stuff. I think it's all FR though.

frick Carhartt, hyper woke piece of shite owner.

When Carhartt went woke, I started buying some Duluth outerwear. Very happy thus far. Seems to be in same ballpark for price and ruggedness. This heavy shirt-jacket has been one of my favorite clothing purchases in the last few years. I throw it on for hunting, running to the pile for firewood, it's a little chilly at work, etc. I wear it often, so well worth the price tag. I don't think I could cut the damn thing with my pocket knife.

I'm usually a "catch it on sale, find it on field supply, or wait til the new one comes out" type guy, but this one was a solid buy.
