Why we love this deal

If you're shopping for new clothes and accessories as summer gives way to fall, you'll find all kinds of great deals online as retailers gear up for October and beyond. Right now, Amazon has a Carhartt Rain Defender Jacket available for just $70, which is a $50 discount compared to the $120 price on the Carhartt website.

It's available in sizes small through 4X-large, though some reviewers say buying a size up is often a good idea with Carhartt outerwear. The manufacturer offers a handy sizing guide based on waist and chest size if you're unsure what to go with.

Why do shoppers love it?

This stylish all-purpose jacket is part of the Rain Defender Collection, so water beads up and rolls right off when you're out braving the elements. It's woven from 90% polyester and 10% spandex, so it offers Rugged Flex mobility and stretch when you need it, and its Wind Fighter technology and a chin protector will keep you from freezing when a cold rain blows in without warning.

Carhartt considers this a lightweight jacket with a lower warmth rating than some of the winter options out there, so it's really ideal for November and spring, when you're working in the cool air and liable to get wet now and again. It features one large inner pocket, three outer pockets, adjustable cuffs, and a drawstring-adjustable hem.

Details to know

• Sizes available: Small to 4X-large.
• Does it have pockets?: Yes. It has two outer pockets and two internal pockets.
• Is it machine-washable?: Yes. The manufacturer recommends a gentle cold cycle with mild detergent followed by a tumble-dry on low. You shouldn't bleach it, iron it, or dry-clean it.

"This fits perfectly. I still have plenty of room to move around, even with a hoodie underneath it," said one shopper from the Carhartt website. "It's made of nice waterproof material, it's lightweight, and it's warm — but not too warm. It's perfect for spring and fall when the weather changes constantly."
