My father used to wear the thermal lined Carhart zip-front sweatshirts when I was growing up.

I was a little disappointed they stopped selling them in light heather grey, and I was a little surprised they stopped using the traditional cotton thermal lining, but over this thing seems like it's great quality and will keep me snuggly warm.

Also plan on using it as insulation with my Dickies Anorak [...]

Love the three-piece hood... no more pointy Klan looking hood.
