Gear Review: Carhartt Crowley Hooded Jacket

The Crowley hooded jacket from Carhartt is just the kind of outer wear diehard anglers need.

What is it?

Carhartt Crowley Hooded Jacket

What does it do?

The water-repellent jacket keeps you drier and on the lake longer.

What sets it apart?

Carhartt has implemented their unique Rain Defender water-repellent finish that forces moisture to bead up and roll off of the garment. The material comes standard with the company’s four-way stretch, Rugged-Flex technology that allows for comfortable movement without restriction, or the jacket needing to be readjusted following each cast. It also comes with a larger interior pocket, adjustable sleeve cuffs and a draw cord along the bottom hem to comfortably fit any situation.

How do I use it?

This is the kind of outer layer that should be kept on-hand all the time. It’s great for those misty, damp days that are just not wet enough for an entire raingear suit. The weather conditions might be uncomfortable, but that’s typically when the fish bite the best, so it’s important to stay on the water for as long as possible. The Crowley will keep you drier longer, which means more fish in the boat.

How much?

$144.99-$154.99

Editor Insight

There are piles of assorted raingear out there, and most of them are well built, very effective and fit nicely. But, for the days that are cool and damp and not requiring the full ensemble, the Crowley is a great option. It’s comfortable, lightweight and the material allows for unrestricted movement, especially when casting. Along with the adequate functionality, you will look good from the deck of your boat.
