Best Work Utility & Safety Outerwear for Women of 2025

"As a big girl with upper body weight, I ordered a 2x, and it fits amazing. It's very comfortable with a great range of motion right away. The front hem is flattering, and the green color is pretty!"

"I moved to Maryland from Florida and needed a warm jacket for my new farm life. I had never heard of Carhartt before, but now I truly love this jacket! The hood and warmth are perfect, and it really feels like a warm hug!"

"I was thrilled to receive this jacket since I work at Trader Joe's and need something warm for the dairy cooler. I usually wear a medium, but I opted for a small based on Amazon's suggestion. It looks great but feels a bit tight in the arms. I plan to exchange it for a medium."

“I bought this jacket for my girlfriend for Christmas, and she loves showing it off to her friends. It looks great on her and pairs well with boots. It keeps cold air out while allowing mobility in the arms. Plus, it’s not super heavy.”

“The sleeves are quilted inside with Sherpa at the cuff, making it very roomy. I love the brown color. It feels a bit stiff, but I know that will work itself out over time. I can wear a summer top on a 35-degree morning and still be warm.”

“This jacket is great, fits well, but I find it a little wide for the size.”

"I absolutely love this cute coat! I found it locally for $150, but ended up buying it on Amazon for $129. I even snagged a used one for $89 that arrived in perfect condition! The heavier quality is exactly what I expected from Carhartt, and it fits me perfectly at 5'6" and 170 lbs. It's just a bit too big, but the length is just right to cover my stomach. I adore the stretchy sleeves with thumb holes that keep the cold air out. I opted for the dark wine color, which is a beautiful earthy tone. This coat is replacing my winter coat, and I live in northern Wisconsin, where it gets extremely cold. It's perfect for keeping warm and blocking out the wind!"

"This jacket is great! The sleeves are long enough, and the extra length in the back keeps my bum dry when I sit. The hood stays up nicely even with my hair in a bun. It's warm enough for temperatures down to 35°F. I layered it over a heavier sweater fleece for winter weather, and it held up well on a lobster boat; I was warm and dry all day. The durability is excellent, and I feel confident using it for rugged outdoor work. It's a fantastic addition to my Carhartt collection!"

"After trying on several sizes, I finally found the right fit! My bra size is 42DDD, so I usually wear 2X for coats. The XXL-plus size fits perfectly with room for a sweatshirt underneath. I love the numerous pockets and the quality of the coat, especially the thumb hole cuffs."

"I’m 5ft 1inch and 120 lbs, and I ordered a size small in women's. It fits on the bigger side of perfect, allowing me to layer a long sleeve and hoodie underneath comfortably. I'm thrilled with this coat! It's lightweight yet warm, and the fit is phenomenal without being bulky. The nice blue color and good wind resistance made it perfect for work, and the fabric feels really durable. I believe it’s a great value for the cost!"

"I stand at 5'2-1/2" and weigh 245 lbs. I usually wear a size 22, but I opted for a 2X based on reviews. To my surprise, it fits perfectly! I can zip it up comfortably even with a sweater underneath. The shoulders fit just right, and I love how warm it is without being overly fluffy. This jacket is a flattering fit, offering generous pockets for my essentials. I can't believe it doesn't cost more!"

"My teenager insisted they were fine in a hoodie until we hit the cold, damp air. They reluctantly tried my brand-new Carhartt coat and admitted it was warm and stylish. Despite a muddy mishap in the Pacific Northwest woods, I was amazed—after two washes, the mud stains vanished, and the jacket looked as rugged as ever. This jacket has proven to be a 5-star champion in durability, washability, warmth, and comfort!"

"I absolutely love this jacket! It's extremely high quality, warm, and the pockets are awesome. I feel the placement is a bit odd, but it prevents losing items. The materials are clearly purposefully chosen, and it shows."

"After much consideration, I finally bought this jacket and I'm so happy I did! It fits perfectly, looks great, and is true to size. At 5'6” and 160 pounds, I find the thickness just right for layering without being bulky. The beige/cream color is stunning!"

"This is the best must-have jacket for fall! It's true to size, comfy, and pairs well with everything! The green color is simply perfect. I love it so much; it’s versatile enough to dress up or down!"

"This is easily top 5 of the best coats I've owned! Living in MN, I felt comfortable in 0-degree weather with just a fleece underneath. I went with a medium, but I think a small might have worked too. The sleeves are shorter than most, but they fit perfectly with my Carhartt mittens. The hood is warm and stays in place, and the pockets are large and useful. Worth every penny!"

"The fit is absolutely spot on, and the quality is exactly what I'd expect from Carhartt. I'm thrilled that it's keeping my college kiddo warm during those long campus walks!"

"I bought this coat for a trip to Montreal and it kept me warm in 10°F temperatures. The high chest pockets are great for warming hands, and it’s also waterproof. I originally ordered an XL but returned it for a L size, which was just right. 10/10 would recommend!"

"I absolutely love this coat! It keeps me warm, is of great quality, and has a great look. The fit is just right, and the pockets are a nice touch!"

"I purchased this jacket as a gift, and the recipient is thrilled. The comfort and quality are excellent!"

"I found the large to be perfect after trying it on at Sportsman's Warehouse. I can wear sweatshirts underneath, and it feels roomy without being tight. I couldn't be happier with my purchase!"

"I got this as a Mother's Day present for my mom to wear out in the barn and garden, but it's almost too nice. I almost kept it for myself. Warm with a soft Sherpa inside, and weather resistant. I paired it up with a pair of green Bogs clogs. Mom is 5'5 and about 115-120lbs, and the small is perfect (with room)."

"I bought this coat for my wife, who is always walking dogs in all sorts of weather. This coat is very warm, blocks the wind and rain very well, and even has pockets on the inside for cell phone, etc."

"I really wanted to love this coat. I have the vest that is similar and love it, but this coat was way large in the tummy area. Not just a little, but truly too large. I found that even when sizing down, the belly area did not change that much. I ended up returning it :( "

"I haven't even turned it on yet, and it's already kept me significantly warmer at work. It's very comfy and light, which makes it nice to wear indoors or in the car. The battery pack has easy instructions and seems effective. I got rained on, and it wicked the water right off!"

"I bought this for my wife for an outdoor New Year's Eve party, and she was warm and happy the entire time, even in 43-degree weather. The battery lasted about 4 hours on high, which was impressive!"

"I love this jacket! It has been a life saver while working outside during cooler weather. The heat settings are easy to control, and the pocket warmers work really well. My only note is that the battery placement could be higher for motorcycle use."

"This jacket is hands down the best I own. The waterproof material keeps me dry without making me sweat and stick to my skin. It’s lightweight enough to wear a hoodie underneath when it’s colder but warm enough to wear alone. I appreciate that it’s a bit longer, covering my bottom, which is great in the rain. The hood is perfect for my head and hair, and it was true to size. I would buy it in every color if I could!"

"I was pleasantly surprised by this jacket. It’s lightweight yet warm and provides excellent protection from the elements. The true-to-size fit is comfortable, and I love that it's longer than usual rain jackets of this style. I couldn’t ask for more!"

"I really like this well-made jacket. It’s very comfortable and lightweight, yet it keeps the elements at bay. My only issue is that it runs small, and they were out of the next size up in the color I wanted. Other than that, I can definitely recommend it!"
