STORMR

[Hitemnasty]

Just came in from two hours of clearing 15 inches of snow with sustained 20+ mph wind wearing a t shirt with 400 weight Minus 33 wool hoodie and Filson mackinaw wool pants. Never felt wet or cold even though I was completely covered in snow that was constantly melting on me. I was actually sweating.

I have Carhart jackets and sweat shirts .Last forever but I do agree better stuff out there . You'll pay for it though .

He wearing it right now outside with the dog. There is a big difference between quality now and way back though.

I agree there - I have one that I bought 26 years ago - the cuffs on the sleeves are worn through in places and the outside is stained but the coat itself still has great insulation and is windproof.  

The ones made nowadays are just not the same.

I have some insulated bib overalls that are supremely warm too.

But I will not buy any more Carhartt garments due to their fascist stance on the Vax Mandate.

I also have a 20 year old Maine Guide LL Bean parka that is basically a sleeping bag with a hard Gortex shell and sleaves - it is indestructible but is also way too hot to wear when exerting yourself.

Carhardt was good stuff back in the day. I honestly don’t know anyone that wears it deer hunting anymore. It’s outdated 

[hemlock]

I can't believe the difference in the quality of my older carhart standard uninsulated work pants versus know. And the difference is night and day with everything. But i still work in my carhart work pants from over 20 plus years ago. There is a few minor tears but normal for construction. I don't think the carhart pants i got last year would last one year not good. Much thinner material in comparison the older stuff is solid. I still have my insulated coveralls from like 1984 somewhere. The bibs from over 20 years ago are still holding up too.

Yes to literally all of those things.  Then again, I don't take medicine, eat fast food, ride trains or drive fords anyway.  The rest was easy

I've heard that Stormr is some heavy duty stuff. I'm glad it's working out for you.

 

As far as Carhartt goes, I hope the 2019 (right) jacket holds up as well as the 1999 (left) jacket.

Yup I own one of those 30 year old jackets myself. You’ll never hear me complain about carharts service. What I did notice this year is that they are making lower end outerwear but still make some good heavier duty stuff as well but the better stuff they are making you pay up for

[electricstart]

I did start out with Carhart Jacket this morning  but for round 2 this afternoon busted out MT050 old Cabela's Parka and hood . Duluth insulated jeans , wool socks and bog boots .  12 degrees minus 2 wind factor and I was sweating .

Correct but I do not consider STORMR to be work wear. I consider it outdoor wear. I mean for snow blowing it’s a good choice and maybe sport fishing but not work wear they wouldn’t last a week I my business

i live in carharrt during the winter months. no complaints here. i dont bother with what company is pro this or con that. it works. it keeps me warm. no argument there for me. ill continue to buy carharrts because i like their product.
