Oversized Foldover Pockets, Carhartt Shoreline Angler Jacket

The two outer chest pockets are oversized and designed to fold over when you close them so you don’t worry about spilling out the contents when you bend over. Similar to the modern waterproof dry bag for wet gear or even a camping air mattress. A Velcro-close interior pocket gives you room for a smartphone or wallet.

The Details

It’s the little things

Pits zips allow you to ventilate when you need to, could be easier to reach but work very well. The hoodie is slightly large but is easily adjustable. There are also two waistline adjustments for some fine tuning for more blustery wet conditions appear and you need to batten down the hatches.

Another nice touch are the little hoodies or shrouds for the zipper heads when they are closed. The shroud will cover the end of the zipper when in the closed position to deter leakage and snagging. Sturdy plastic gripped zipper pulls are easy to use and operate the waterproof YKK zipper nicely.

Very pleased the Shoreline Angler’s main zipper is not the webbed YKK zipper as we have had design issues where the metal starter tooth would continually break off from the fabric again and again. The webbed YKK waterproof zippers work great for the pockets since it always stays attached to both sides.

Shoreline Angler Jacket FastDry Print Lining

The Shoreline Angler is a shell (non-insulated) so you’ll want to keep on some sort of long sleeve baselayer to avoid that rubbery feeling against your skin. That said, this jacket is amazing. The fit runs true to size and you can get a midlayer on without feeling constricted. You can also upsize if you plan on layering up more but bear in mind this is categorized as a midweight jacket. The interior FastDry print lined interior is very functional but the pattern looks great too.
