In Europe (Germany) those big pockets on the back are traditionally on hunting jackets. Today they are mostly used for maps, even thermoses and stuff like that, but we still call it "Niederwildtasche" which translated means "small game pocket". Way back when only the nobility was allowed to hunt, people did it secretly, mainly on small game and used thosed pockets on the back to hide the shot game and bring it back home.
I got the Yukon Extremes Full Swing a few weeks ago in January. It is stiff, but very free feeling and very warm. A 30 minute walk at 30f, I'm sweating by the time I get to work. I have to open my coat and let the 20 degree wind cool me down. I'm not heavy and usually I have good temp control, but the insulation is awesome. If you value movement, get a full swing.
@@CarlMurawski Here in Germany these things are called "Hasentasche" which translates as "rabbit pouch". So I guess we use them for storing rabbits (when hunting).
I bought the yukon extremes bib late this November. It's the best purchase I've ever made. Beneath it I only wear a 32 degree thermal bottom unless it's negative degrees and I haven't got cold yet. I wear them every single day. I was also skeptical of the plastic zipper but after a few months of use I feel more confident of it than some of those thin metal zippers carhartt has been using lately
Bro. Your damn good at what you do. Thanks for this man. For real. Your better than any sales dude/woman. I’m sold on that insulated active jacket. Thanks again man!!!!!
In the days before small "fanny" packs, I used the Filson map pocket in back as you might use one of those -- to carry a few small items or food and water for a day hike. Worked okay whether the coat was being worn normally or tied around the waist.
I worked over night private sanitation in NYC for 4 years. I have both yukon old models Coveralls (Bibs) & Overalls. Trust me they saved my life. You forgot to add that the old models are 100% waterproof. Old school gets the job done. Great review 😃
Very thorough review! I've always loved Carhartt products very durable! I'll probably get one of the jackets you've shown here to replace my 8 year old Carhartt hoodie.
For the new extremes line, Carhartt needs to bring the optional hood out in the burnt olive color. I picked up that color in the full swing coat before realizing they’re only selling the corresponding hood in black. Ultimately I rather have function over aesthetics, but I’m hoping I can have both.
I don’t know who made them, but the absolute best winter work coat I have ever had was the 2013 snap on winter coat. Flannel lined, has like 15 pockets, the hood is lined and cinches down around your face. No clue who made them, and the manufacturer seems to change every year and I haven’t seen another one that has been as heavy duty since then
Snow cat mechanic. Old model extreme Bibs are my go to. Baffin Derrick is my field boot. I work over 10,000 elevation and temps are usually anywhere from -10 to 20
In 1992 I bought Carhartt insulated overalls and an Carhartt insulated jacket with the faux fur on the removable hood. Used every winter since then on survey crew and soil testing for land development and road projects. Still going strong and keeping me warm. Washed 2 times. One of the Surveyors told me the stitching falls apart when you use washing machine. Instead, air dry the overalls and jacket, then get after the dirt with a stiff brush. After soil testing, I would hose off the gear with the hose in the yard then air dry.
Pile acrylic was originally for marine use. You'd stay warm even when wet and North European companies like Helly Hansen built a reputation on practical gear for deep sea fishermen, lifeboat crews etc. The pile is breathable because it's air permeable, and you'd wear a waterproof layer over it. The reality is you'd still get wet but the pile fleece would keep you warm & dry out quickly. Obviously Patagonia launched their own pile fleece product for outdoors adventurers in the 70s but it was based on the humble (and cheap) marine pile. European hikers & mountaineers sometimes call "pertex & pile" a "wetsuit" because the idea is to shield you from the wind and keep you warm when wet, rather than stop you getting wet in the first place. Dampness is inevitable under some conditions because waterproof membranes aren't breathable enough so your own sweat makes them damp or because at sea you're guaranteed to get a bit wet, but still need to keep body heat to avoid hypothermia. The humble pile fleece has saved many lives over the years. It's one of the great clothing inventions of the 20th century.
I believe the large packets on the back of work jackets and vest is for a tablet or Ipad. At least thats what i have seen them used for by foremen and field engineers on job sites. Love the Union stickers on your hard hat brother! And i love it when u bring up the running 4 inch ridgid conduit in a parking garage during the winter. lol. i know the feeling, inside the concrete shells that hold the cold and let the wind rip through working in Chicago. love the videos and the info
Carl, hyper congratulations!! You pass to other level with the video production!!! Amazing light, cut videos, transitions, background, movement, etc ..... Daaaaaaammmmmmmmm Sir, hope you get more subscribers, really professional stuff. Love the floor squares ;). . .
The map pocket or the back pocket on that parka, I’d use it for gloves. For me some thing need bare hands to accomplish the task and I’ll take on my gloves and throw them in there, that or like a balaclava or toque so when I start sweating i can rip it off and have a dedicated spot for it, then it’s not on top of my phone or box cutter and then isn’t in the way. I wear a Surveyor’s vest in the colder months and it has that map pocket too and that’s honestly what I use it for. I imagine the parka can be used the same way
Great review, man! However, I am skeptical about Carhartts decision to start using plastic zippers on their new coats. I guess time will tell if they hold up or not. I do commercial & industrial HVAC in the Midwest & when a person is working out doors with temps that hit -20 the last thing I wanna be worried about is a plastic zipper breaking.
Ivowned the older jacket for 20 plus years, work in ìt all the time. First year owning nite I ran around the front of my jeep and snaged the jacket on my winch cable and there I was hanging. JACKET DIDNT TEAR OR ANYTHING! GLAD TO SEE COMPARISON SINCE I BOUGHT THE BRAND MEW ONE AND THOUGHT THEY CHEAPED OUT.
I got the C55 coat for excavating in sw Ontario, Canada in 2003. I didn't use it for construction the entire time, but it lasted 14 or 15 years. The zipper eventually gave out. When I found out they were "redesigned" I bought the C55 again and a J133. I plan on returning one, I wanted to compare them for fit. I can't decide. I ordered the R33's as well. I'll sacrifice a little mobility for unbeatable durability! I can say my original C55 never looked dirty, or worn out. And it did eventually feel broken in around year 7 or 8.
Carl, you should check out the Corcoran 1500 or 1510 jump boots. Absolutely solid, built like tanks, and fly under the radar constantly despite their low price point.
Best thing I ever purchased jacket wise was the carhartt Sherpa lined vest I needed a carhartt jacket I could wear all day with the free movement off my arms and not have to take it off to drive
Hey I found your channel from looking up DIY videos on waxing canvas jackets. Ironically enough I live in New England and I’m in my first year as an electrical apprentice. I have the Yukon jacket and STIFF is an understatement. I bought the medium because the large was very baggy but now I’m experiencing some uncomfortable tension in the upper back and shoulder area. So I decided to take it to a tailor and make a vest out of it. It will be unique because it will be hooded as well. One good thing is this jacket is very warm.
the map pocket is typically used for electronic blue prints, i.e ipad....so when you dont need to hold you can put in pocket, because when you walk all over a jobsite and set your ipad down, you may have forgotten where that was...in my experience, great video!!!! thanks!!
The Carhartt extreme coveralls are the real deal!! Keeps me warm on my motorcycle on 40 degree Farenheit days along with full face helmet and gloves of course… but i just where one layer of clothing under the coveralls!! That’s impressive no long johns….also i wear them outside to do mechanic work in below 32 degree weather. Only place i was cold was my hands nothing to do with the coveralls….
since you need the dexterity and mobility, wear a pair of rubber gloves under a pair of mechanix gloves or something. that’s about the best i’ve found.
I work at a farm and I bought the extreme coat for $170 yeah little pricy but it's what you would expect out of Carhartt.Tough restricts movement a little but super warm with a Carhartt Rain Defender hoodie underneath.
For short durations, I might store a clipboard, or plans in that big seat pocket; in the rain or snow perhaps. Another thought - the parka can work as a snowboarding jacket if you are double tasking your outerwear.
I've been considering buying this stuff. I'm coming from Northern New York and need some snow gear that will last sometime and adequately address the conditions I undergo. Mostly ice fishing and framing in the cold. Would you recommend?
Cheers for that, a lot of work put in that vid. Here in the UK we get wet and windy winters, rather than cold. I would relish cold and dry. Really like the look of the Parka though.
I have the coveralls. They are very warm and takes a beating, but that nylon melts very easy when running a angle grinder or welding. Mine went to the mending lady to patch the melt holes. Making them melt resistant would be nice, other wise is a good product other than the price.
on the old logger jackets like the Filson Makinaw , it was used to store maps bit I guess you could use it for blueprints etc or other paper work on the josite which you don't want to lose etc.
I have the old model of the whole Extreme serie. Im in eastern canada and winter can be pretty rough Well never cold enough for the Yukon bib and the active jacket, one or the other😂 ! I've worked on my knees in the snow for 10-12h fixing heating equipment in -30celcius with no problem at all, had to take some break to take the whole kit off to breath a little. Very high quality and warm stuff
hey! for a base layer give the Airblaster ninja suit a try , you wont get better for movablity and warmth particualy if you try the Marina one . truely incredible
I have that carhartt jacket. I also have a Duluth whale back parka. The Duluth is superior at movement and warmth. It doesn't seem like it would be as tough as the carhartt. But, its 200 so I don't use it as a work jacket, I just wear it when it's in the teens and windy. If its between 15 and 30 the carhartt comes out. And any jacket will do above 30.
I'm torn. I have an old Dakota brand jacket that's good for the deep cold. It's definitely bulkier that the YE full swing, but as it is now only -15 I'm needing something that I won't overheat in. I originally was looking at the Carhart Bartlet jacket as an intermediate. I have entertained the idea of upgrading to the YE full swing and selling the Dakota, but not sure if the upgrade is necessary or if I would be over dressed with this warmerish -15 Celsius/5 Fahrenheit weather. In your review you stated the full swing fleece could be good for colder weather especially if you layered, I'm wondering if that's a better option. Any opinion would be appreciated. Thanks. Great video, very nicely organized in the details list.
My 15 year old pair of Walls Blizzard Proof coveralls are still my favorite for winter work on the ranch or for camping when it's around freezing. Waterproof ass and knees for the win. I heard they don't make them like they did back then. Hopefully I never have to find out.
Once somebody figures out how to make coveralls fit and look cool everybody will buy them. The "I don't wanna look like a redneck" factor is huge. Lol.
Well let me congratulate you in advance! It can be a wonderful career, just be sure to become as valuable as you can and make sure to be your own best advocate.
Hello 👋. You should check out Aramark SteelGuard™ 30° Below Insulated Coveralls, they are fantastic. A lot like Carhartt very durable and warm . But I have seen them for as low as $99.99 . And they come included with a great insulated hood also .
I love ❤️ the old active jacket 🧥 I have the j133 and I don’t work blue collar jobs. I just simply wear it when leaving the house 🏡 and it broke in significantly in one winter 🥶 I wish they made the new jacket with the new materials but kept the exact same design as the old active jac. It’s a classic style and the new style looks like everything else you can buy.
Maybe Im just oldschool, but I really dont like plastic or velcro on my jackets.. I kind of have a love-hate relationship with my overall straps. They are kind of a pain, but at least they are metal! I know they will argue the plastic ones are better, but Im just not sold yet.. I would LOVE to get an Arctic kit, but I fear they will be TOO warm for most days for me. The coldest Ive seen at my house in the past four years is 9 degrees, and my regular quilted Carrhart overalls have been plenty (and sometimes too much) when Im out working in the field.
I like the full swing jacket it’s very warm a few cons are the zipper for one gets stuck at the bottom I even returned it because of it and the new one is the same. The other thing is that Carhart doesn’t have a hood in the burnt olive color only black I’ve called and was told they won’t have a hood, ridiculous
Wonderful review! Quick question, whats your weight and height and the size in the new yukon extreme active jacket? Im 5'7 200lbs and im stuck between the M and L
I spend alot of time in the desert camping and riding dirt bikes/hiking , and the wind can be hell , and i love the coveralls , and the old coat for inside the camper shell my old coat after many washing soften up but had to retreat for rain , but its still one of the best coats ever , the cover all are great for riding , but would love to have some that have the cargo pockets , always something just don't have the bucks for lol thanks for the video , new sub bro
@@jamesnm21 yep have vest , and a small day pack as well , can't have enough pockets out there even have some coveralls that are sleeved , just can't find any that have cargo pockets, good idea sewing some on , I don't sew worth crap but not out there for looks anyway , thanks great idea,
@@redwing771 youtube has some good how to tutorials for cargo pockets. One trick I use is sticking the two seams together with fabric adhesive to hold everything in place before stitching. Makes it a lot easier and better finished result. You might even find some adhesive pockets you could iron on and reinforce with some stitching but not sure on that.
Thanks awesome info and video . I was just looking at Carhartt for Black Friday sales this was very useful information cuz I'm really wanting that parka 👍😁👍
Thanks. I’m in Philadelphia and it’s been unusually cold here. In the mornings like 5-7 degrees wind chills then mid 20’s. Have you tested the parka when it’s been really cold? Thanks!
Oh yes. There was a time last winter when I was surveying a 14 mile stretch of railroad in February. The wind whips down those tracks like you wouldn’t believe! Anyhow, with a good base layer, high pile fleece mid layer, and this parka as a top layer I was pretty warm. I won’t say that I was comfortable because the wind was biting at my face all day but it was as good as it could be.
Carhartt said they have discontinued all Yukon extremes products. What's a shame the Yukon line was my absolute favorite. I think I'll never find another jacket like it again. 😔
The back pocket in the parka jacket is to put the drawings in there.... I am an iron worker dealing with fire sparks, the parka is definitely not good for that, is it???
My employer got me the old model extreme jacket and it’s like wearing a carpet and cumbersome and it deters me from putting it on. It is warm. Cuffs and neck are itchy as hell. It’s bulky as a barrel and stiff. It feels kind of like body armor minus the ceramic plates.
How’s the sizing on the Yukon full swing jacket? I’m normally a size medium in most things pretty true but I had one of the originals and I had to size down to a small, so I’m wondering if it’s the same here? I’m like 6’1 155 pounds for reference so the old medium was absolutely huuuuuuuge... anyway great video :)
Best coat for the money there is, most are cheaply built junk for more money, carhartt is really stepping up, better hope it's real cold or you'll be roasting, the shell of it is the best part.
At 14:07 you say that a hood can actually be snapped on (to the New Full Swing Jacket). But snapped on, where? There doesn't seem to be aby snaps that would align with HOOD # 104519 - which carhart.com identifies, on their product page for this coat (in the questions section), as the hood for such - which, incidentally, only appears to be available in black, with no matching color for the the alternative, Burnt Olive color, coat option. Frustrating.
I bought the new full swing it's big and bulky what's going on with the zipper all the one's I tried on were hard to start it has a click before it zip's up I had to get a xl because the L shoulders were tight but other than that I love it price $ 205 with tax have to buy the hood $ 25 👍
I like coats, I'm in to warm. I'm in to tough. I had heard of the "Extremes for a while. Met a guide who swore there was nothing better on the market for the price. So, I bought one. she was right. For under $200 on Amazon nothing can touch them . I bought my 29 year old son one. He wouldn't take anything for his. Says it is the warmest toughest coat he has ever had . We had a bitter cold week recently I'm talking bone chilling cold. I took my Berne thermal lined hoody and combined it with the Yukon Extreme. Unbelievable how warm. In my opinion there is no other coat that can even come close to the Yukon Extreme for rain ,snow, cold or wind. It's like unbeatable in the $200 range. I got my son his off Amazon for $169 I also got him the Berne thermal lined zip up hoody for $49 , 100% real wool gloves and a merino wool toboggan and I'm so great in his eyes now. Whatever works right? Peace.

Thanks for sharing!
On many parkas, that pouch on the back is for storing birds when hunting.
No kidding? I learn something new everyday!
@@CarlMurawski it’s also called “the game” or “map pocket” was a Filson workware original from back in the cruiser days.
Yes absolutely true game bird pouch
@@CarlMurawski
Here in Germany these things are called "Hasentasche" which translates as "rabbit pouch". So I guess we use them for storing rabbits (when hunting).
Older hunting jackets had this not parkas. It's a game pouch
The is easily the best and most informative video on Carhartt that I've seen. Thanks so much for providing all this info, New subscriber!
Great video for comparing different products. I knew about the extremes lineup but NEVER to this extent! Thank you!
Best overview and comparison by far. Thank you for your time and work Carl!

Food review, Informative. I have the old style full swing jacket and bibs. The heavy cordura holds up to heavy equipment service
Well done and very informative review, highly appreciated by those of us who deal with extremely cold weather.
Best working clothes review EVER. Great work, keep em coming.
I worked over night private sanitation in NYC for 4 years. I have both yukon old models Coveralls (Bibs) & Overalls. Trust me they saved my life. You forgot to add that the old models are 100% waterproof. Old school gets the job done. Great review 😃
A cold rating would help, but the rest of the description was great. Thanks.
Very thorough review! I've always loved Carhartt products very durable! I'll probably get one of the jackets you've shown here to replace my 8 year old Carhartt hoodie.
Your new studio space is looking fantastic Carl!

You’re absolutely right, and they’re legendary
I do love the old styles as well. I do. They should keep making them along with the new ones.
Wow. Thank you for the very in depth review, I want to try some of their womens gear. They have a Yukon parka for women
Thanks for this video Carl! We got a pretty good size job coming up dead in the winter months. Definitely gonna pick one of these up!

Hey Carl, could you do a video on base layers for winter time
4” rigid is the real deal! Loved the video! Can you make a video on winter work gloves? My hands are the first to get cold as an electrician
since you need the dexterity and mobility, wear a pair of rubber gloves under a pair of mechanix gloves or something. that’s about the best i’ve found.
I work at a farm and I bought the extreme coat for $170 yeah little pricy but it's what you would expect out of Carhartt.Tough restricts movement a little but super warm with a Carhartt Rain Defender hoodie underneath.
Great video man, thanks for making this! Do the new coveralls have any inside pockets? Feel that's critical for phone to stay near body heat!
For short durations, I might store a clipboard, or plans in that big seat pocket; in the rain or snow perhaps. Another thought - the parka can work as a snowboarding jacket if you are double tasking your outerwear.
I've been considering buying this stuff. I'm coming from Northern New York and need some snow gear that will last sometime and adequately address the conditions I undergo. Mostly ice fishing and framing in the cold. Would you recommend?
Definitely, you could use the bibs and the parka together for a pretty insane combo.
Taking into consideration, being from ... ....* IDR, I know they don’t make anything in skinny jean cut!
Terrific review Carl - thanks!
Thanks for watching!
I need to get something like this for winter motorcycle riding for a top layer these seem great
The full swing coats also have the internal drawstring instead of the elastic waistband
Cheers for that, a lot of work put in that vid. Here in the UK we get wet and windy winters, rather than cold. I would relish cold and dry. Really like the look of the Parka though.
I have the coveralls. They are very warm and takes a beating, but that nylon melts very easy when running a angle grinder or welding. Mine went to the mending lady to patch the melt holes. Making them melt resistant would be nice, other wise is a good product other than the price.
Bamboo might be an option for this. It's similar to cotton but wicks moisture better.
on the old logger jackets like the Filson Makinaw , it was used to store maps bit I guess you could use it for blueprints etc or other paper work on the josite which you don't want to lose etc.
Good review I have the new Yukon coveralls . Very good stiff . Merry Christmas

The insulated parka maybe can be worn inside out and still looks badass!
Very kool gear,carhartt almost never disappoints me lol…what shirt are you wearing? I like it looks warm and comfortable
My 15 year old pair of Walls Blizzard Proof coveralls are still my favorite for winter work on the ranch or for camping when it's around freezing. Waterproof ass and knees for the win. I heard they don't make them like they did back then. Hopefully I never have to find out.
Once somebody figures out how to make coveralls fit and look cool everybody will buy them. The "I don't wanna look like a redneck" factor is huge. Lol.
Thanks for the review. Hopefully I will be an Electrician by this time next year. This gear will come in handy if so.
Well let me congratulate you in advance! It can be a wonderful career, just be sure to become as valuable as you can and make sure to be your own best advocate.
@@CarlMurawski Yes sir! Look, listen, learn. Ask questions, go the extra mile.
Cold weather is for insulated bibs and carhartt does it best
Agreed!
@@CarlMurawski have you had a chance to check out Stormy Kromer hats and wool vests yet?
I dunno. Just picked up a pair of firehose insulated bibs. Tried on 1x so far.. Pretty comfy😁 have had 2 sets of carhartt 1s. They are nice as well.
Love the video can you also do in in-depth review of the j140 and the j130 please thanks
I want to see the "how I come up with these thumbnails" video
Hahahaha
Basically if it makes me laugh, it’s good!
OOOF!! I'm sold on the insulated parka. Will be wearing the Carhartt parka with their heavy duty crew neck sweater
Hello 👋. You should check out Aramark SteelGuard™ 30° Below Insulated Coveralls, they are fantastic. A lot like Carhartt very durable and warm . But I have seen them for as low as $99.99 . And they come included with a great insulated hood also .
I love ❤️ the old active jacket 🧥 I have the j133 and I don’t work blue collar jobs. I just simply wear it when leaving the house 🏡 and it broke in significantly in one winter 🥶 I wish they made the new jacket with the new materials but kept the exact same design as the old active jac. It’s a classic style and the new style looks like everything else you can buy.
Maybe Im just oldschool, but I really dont like plastic or velcro on my jackets.. I kind of have a love-hate relationship with my overall straps. They are kind of a pain, but at least they are metal! I know they will argue the plastic ones are better, but Im just not sold yet..
I would LOVE to get an Arctic kit, but I fear they will be TOO warm for most days for me. The coldest Ive seen at my house in the past four years is 9 degrees, and my regular quilted Carrhart overalls have been plenty (and sometimes too much) when Im out working in the field.
I like the full swing jacket it’s very warm a few cons are the zipper for one gets stuck at the bottom I even returned it because of it and the new one is the same. The other thing is that Carhart doesn’t have a hood in the burnt olive color only black I’ve called and was told they won’t have a hood, ridiculous
Do you recommend down sizing? I usually wear an L but after seeing this video might get M
Absolutely Beautiful Detailed & Informative Video! Thank you 🙏 Brother. So much. Instantly subscribed. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 stay safe & stay free.
Thanks and welcome!
I don't know if someone mentioned it in the comments before but the back pocket is common for gloves or hat's.
Hey thanks for the review man. Great job
Thanks for watching!
Wonderful review! Quick question, whats your weight and height and the size in the new yukon extreme active jacket? Im 5'7 200lbs and im stuck between the M and L
Just got the Yukon Active jac. Had to toss the last one after over 7 years. That one got put through hell☺️
I think youll be pleasantly surprised by the new one!
Does it fit tts?
I spend alot of time in the desert camping and riding dirt bikes/hiking , and the wind can be hell , and i love the coveralls , and the old coat for inside the camper shell my old coat after many washing soften up but had to retreat for rain , but its still one of the best coats ever , the cover all are great for riding , but would love to have some that have the cargo pockets , always something just don't have the bucks for lol thanks for the video , new sub bro
Sew some pockets on. Vests are also a great option and often come with lots of pockets and total range of motion with no sleeves.
@@jamesnm21 yep have vest , and a small day pack as well , can't have enough pockets out there even have some coveralls that are sleeved , just can't find any that have cargo pockets, good idea sewing some on , I don't sew worth crap but not out there for looks anyway , thanks great idea,
@@redwing771 youtube has some good how to tutorials for cargo pockets. One trick I use is sticking the two seams together with fabric adhesive to hold everything in place before stitching. Makes it a lot easier and better finished result. You might even find some adhesive pockets you could iron on and reinforce with some stitching but not sure on that.
The sweater you are wearing is 🔥🔥🔥👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Thank you!
@@CarlMurawski What brand is it?
@@greerelwell5984 I believe it's Taylor Stitch's Fisherman Sweater in the Heather Ash colorway. They have a 30% off sitewide sale today by the way!
Thanks awesome info and video . I was just looking at Carhartt for Black Friday sales this was very useful information cuz I'm really wanting that parka 👍😁👍
I got the Sawtooth parka it is super warm this has to be even warmer how much warmer do you need it I'll take it even warmer Detroit's too darn cold
Thank you for such an informative review.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks. I’m in Philadelphia and it’s been unusually cold here. In the mornings like 5-7 degrees wind chills then mid 20’s.
Have you tested the parka when it’s been really cold? Thanks!
Oh yes. There was a time last winter when I was surveying a 14 mile stretch of railroad in February. The wind whips down those tracks like you wouldn’t believe!
Anyhow, with a good base layer, high pile fleece mid layer, and this parka as a top layer I was pretty warm. I won’t say that I was comfortable because the wind was biting at my face all day but it was as good as it could be.
What state do you generally work?
Carhartt said they have discontinued all Yukon extremes products. What's a shame the Yukon line was my absolute favorite. I think I'll never find another jacket like it again. 😔
The back pocket in the parka jacket is to put the drawings in there.... I am an iron worker dealing with fire sparks, the parka is definitely not good for that, is it???
Great breakdown and comparison review! Thanks
My employer got me the old model extreme jacket and it’s like wearing a carpet and cumbersome and it deters me from putting it on. It is warm.
Cuffs and neck are itchy as hell.
It’s bulky as a barrel and stiff. It feels kind of like body armor minus the ceramic plates.
I was thinking the back pocket would be a good way to distribute weight so that it is a bit more even.
i like this Carhartt channel. pretty neat.
Hey Carl where did you get that wicked looking coffee mug!?
Now I know what I getting for my birthday day but do the large run big or small
Is the new full swing jacket
Carhartt 104460 - Yukon Extremes® Full Swing® Insulated Coat?
Excellent, informed video. Great job! 👍
Thanks! 👍
I'm pretty tempted by the fleece active jacket. Does it run big like Carhartt shirts or tiny like their pants waist?
I'm confused I'm reading comments about the insulated coveralls.. I'm 5'9 should I get short?? Or regular. My pants size is always 36x30
You might get a regular or medium. It might end up long, but that will help you when you lean or bend forward.
what is a featherless down? it sounds really good
Essentially it’s just synthetic feathers. Some types even have a corkscrew shape to trap more warm air.
@@CarlMurawski that sounds great, thanks for the info
Excellent vid Carl.
How’s the sizing on the Yukon full swing jacket? I’m normally a size medium in most things pretty true but I had one of the originals and I had to size down to a small, so I’m wondering if it’s the same here? I’m like 6’1 155 pounds for reference so the old medium was absolutely huuuuuuuge... anyway great video :)
Best coat for the money there is, most are cheaply built junk for more money, carhartt is really stepping up, better hope it's real cold or you'll be roasting, the shell of it is the best part.
At 14:07 you say that a hood can actually be snapped on (to the New Full Swing Jacket). But snapped on, where? There doesn't seem to be aby snaps that would align with HOOD # 104519 - which carhart.com identifies, on their product page for this coat (in the questions section), as the hood for such - which, incidentally, only appears to be available in black, with no matching color for the the alternative, Burnt Olive color, coat option. Frustrating.
Does the new active jacket run small in length? I'm 6.2 and I usually wear XL jackets but if it runs small in length then I'll get a XXL.
I bought the new full swing it's big and bulky what's going on with the zipper all the one's I tried on were hard to start it has a click before it zip's up I had to get a xl because the L shoulders were tight but other than that I love it price $ 205 with tax have to buy the hood $ 25 👍
I like coats, I'm in to warm. I'm in to tough. I had heard of the "Extremes for a while. Met a guide who swore there was nothing better on the market for the price. So, I bought one.
she was right. For under $200 on Amazon nothing can touch them . I bought my 29 year old son one. He wouldn't take anything for his. Says it is the warmest toughest coat he has ever had . We had a bitter cold week recently I'm talking bone chilling cold. I took my Berne thermal lined hoody and combined it with the Yukon Extreme. Unbelievable how warm. In my opinion there is no other coat that can even come close to the Yukon Extreme for rain ,snow, cold or wind. It's like unbeatable in the $200 range. I got my son his off Amazon for $169 I also got him the Berne thermal lined zip up hoody for $49 , 100% real wool gloves and a merino wool toboggan and I'm so great in his eyes now. Whatever works right? Peace.
Personally I like the parka the new active Jack and the new overalls 👍
Great pieces all! It really depends on your needs
