Carhartt arctic jacket , Since 1889

Some work environments need jackets. Most often, these are work environments outdoors, such as for construction and road working jobs. As outdoor workers need to be protected in all conditions in order to work efficiently, owning a work jacket is necessary. But, unlike standard pieces of safety equipment like gloves, work jackets generally have no regulation, and it's up to you to find out what works best for you and your working environment.

A lighter work jacket is appropriate for cooler months. Rain jackets are necessary for some work environments and, without any insulation, these, too, fall under the category of lighter work jackets. Lighter work jackets can be altered to be water resistant or even insulated. Outdoor workers need more protection in the winter. 


Some work jackets are made with thicker materials, and this includes duck jackets by Carhartt. Ordinary work jackets, as mentioned previously, also are made insulated, and this can include adding a lighter lining to quilting. Jacketed designed for working outdoors in extremely cold temperatures are usually given the name "arctic" because of the combination of insulation and thicker materials.

What about when you work around extreme heat? A flame resistant coat doesn't look significantly different from an ordinary work jacket, however, as the material has been treated with fire retardant chemicals.

Just as Hamilton Carhartt artic jacket began four generations ago, Carhartt artic jacket will continue to manufacture the most rugged and durable clothing for generations to come.

Since 1889, Carhartt artic jacket has been the leader in durable, premium quality work wear.
