How does the "Sawyer" hoodie compare to the heavier Carhartt sweatshirts?
It features a 7.4-ounce cotton-poly blend, which is lighter and more versatile than the classic heavyweight Carhartt sweatshirts. It is intended to be a comfortable, breathable mid-layer that works just as well under a coat as it does as a standalone outer layer.
Is the hood actually useful, or is it just for style?
It features an attached three-piece hood with a drawcord, which provides genuine, adjustable coverage against the elements—whether you are blocking out wind or light rain on the jobsite.
