While there are tons of clothing brands out there that will keep you warm and last you season after season, Carhartt has regularly made it into our coverage on the premise of providing these two things. It also doesn’t hurt that the brand’s rugged and good-quality garments are also reasonably priced.
Whether it’s a HuffPost editor-favorite hoodie, a viral knit beanie or a sherpa-lined jacket that’s been recommended to us by outdoor muralists who work outdoors in the frigid New York winter, it’s truly no surprise that this iconic workwear brand has been a dependable favorite for so long. See these and other bestselling cold-weather staples in the list ahead, or you can shop the entire sale for yourself using the link above.

Shopping writer Griffin Wynne previously wrote about their love for this plain sweatshirt that’s made from Carhartt’s heavyweight material and part of the brand’s Rain Defender line — meaning it won’t just keep you warm and toasty, it will also keep you dry. Available in tons of colors and men’s sizes S-5XL, this relaxed-fit and roomy hoodie is jersey-lined, machine-washable and features a hidden security pocket inside the front kangaroo pocket.
If you don’t yet have one of these iconic cuffed beanies from Carhartt, you’re seriously missing out on this cold-weather staple. It’s made from a thick acrylic stretch rib knit and comes in a plethora of colors from basic neutrals to pastels to fun neon hues.
Last winter, HuffPost spoke to the outdoor muralists of Colossal Media, who spend their days painting outdoors in some of the coldest conditions. Several artists said that they swear by items from Carhartt to protect them from the elements, like this sherpa-lined utility jacket.
The heavyweight piece of outerwear has a shell made with the brand’s recognizable washed water-resistant duck canvas that’s durable and reinforced with Cordura — an advanced technical fabric — at key points of the jacket like the cuffs. It’s designed with plenty of generously sized pockets and engineered to offer mid-range warmth in moderately cold conditions. Shop this in up to five colors and men’s sizes S-5XL and tall sizes M-4XL.
This pocketed and heavyweight T-shirt has over 92,240 5-star ratings on Amazon and tons of promising reviews attesting to its quality construction. This everyday basic is made with 60% cotton and features a restriction-free loose fit. It’s available in a large array of colors, from neutrals to vibrant shades, and inclusive sizes for both men (XS-5X) and women (XS-3X), including tall.
Another one of Colossal’s muralists swears by this particular rain jacket from Carhartt’s Rain Defender line, which is moderately insulated for partly cold conditions and features a water-repellent coating to keep the wearer dry and not movement-restricted whatsoever. This non-bulky and relaxed-fitting outer layer has a few pockets and a Cordura nylon shell for even greater durability. Find it in up to six colors and men’s sizes S-3XL and tall L-2XL.
Another recognizable icon in the Carhartt Hall of Fame is the brand’s duck-washed bib overalls. These are an insulated version of the well-known classic for offering a high level of warmth in some of the coldest conditions. The heavyweight exterior is paired with a layer of featherless insulation and a quilted nylon lining, along with tons of reinforced pockets to hold all your valuables and essentials. You can shop them in up to four colors and inclusive sizes for both men (28W x 32L – 54W x 34L) and women (XS-2X) and in a variety of lengths.
For extremely cold conditions, this full-swing insulated coat is one of Carhartt’s warmest offerings that features a featherless and surprisingly lightweight insulation and a design that promises a full range of motion. It’s treated with both rain- and wind-fighting technology and Cordura nylon shell, plus, rib-knit cuffs to help block out the cold. And if you’re a nighttime runner, this jacket has a reflective taping to increase visibility. Grab this in men’s sizes S-4XL and tall L-3XL.
Available in up to seven colors and men’s sizes S-3XL and tall L-2XL, this puffer jacket uses synthetic insulation and partial Sherpa lining to help fend off extreme cold, according to the brand. It’s treated with a rain-repelling exterior and “Wind Fighter” technology, plus a roomy relaxed fit for a wear that’s comfy and pillow-like.
Similar to the lined utility jacket listed earlier, this equally rugged vest promises the same durable and heavyweight duck-washed canvas construction and soft Sherpa lining for an extra layer of warmth. It has four pockets, a mock neck collar and comes in up to five colors. Find it in sizes for both men (S-5XL/M-4XL Tall) and women (XS-3X).
Available in women’s sizes XS-3X and four colors, this full-zip and midweight sweatshirt is the perfect cozy layer to wear on its own or under other outerwear garments. It has a roomy fit and a Sherpa lining and is finished off with ribbed cuffs and a ribbed waistline.
The perfect cross between a shirt and a jacket, this hooded layer is also part of Carhartt’s Rain Defender series so it promises water- and wind-repelling performance. It’s made from a heavyweight twill that also stretches for a restriction-free wear and is lined with fleece for warmth. Shop it in up to eight colors and men’s sizes S-4XL.
One of Carhartt’s bestselling boots according to the retailer’s website, the Moc Toe Wedge is a soft-toed work boot that’s also good for everyday wear in many inclement conditions. These boots, which come in up to five colors and sizes for both men (7-15) and women (6-11) with wide options available, have a waterproof full-grain construction. They have a cushioned midsole and a dual-density slip-resistant rubber outsole for a slip-resistant performance.
According to Carhartt, the Storm Defender jacket is the most popular waterproof jacket the brand makes. The relaxed-fit design is loaded with pockets and is made with a breathable material that keeps the elements out, be it heavy wind or rain. It features a detachable three-piece hood and comes in up to seven colors. It’s available in sizes for both men (S-4XL and L-3XL Tall ) and women (XS-3X) and in a lightweight packable version at Carhartt.
Another Carhartt pick from the artists at Colossal are these insulated quilted gloves that are poly-filled for insulation, lined with moisture-wicking microfiber material and have a removable waterproof insert. Shop them in four colors.
Although these gloves are sized for women, a very similar option for men is available at Amazon.
These hard-working pants are lined with soft 100% cotton flannel and made with Carhartt’s iconic duck canvas that’s reinforced in key areas like the back pockets. The pants hit right at the natural waist and have tons of pockets and utility loops to hold tools, keys, phones and more. They are available in men’s 28W x 32L – 44W x 34L with big and tall sizes included.
