CarharttMen's Rain Defender Loose Fit Heavyweight Quarter-Zip Sweatshirt

Q: Does this sweatshirt feel like a regular sweatshirt, or is it a little smooth almost shiny to repel the water

It feels just like a regular sweatshirt. It's not shiny at all. The only difference from a regular sweatshirt I would say, is that the material is a lot thicker and more durable. Even though it is a rain defender it is nothing like a rain jacket.

Q: How much will this shrink when washed

Nothing at all. Had mine for over a year now and wash 1x a week. Still fits like the first day

Q: I am 6'2 and a lean 190lbs. the xl was a perfect fit as for the lengths, but it was too loose/baggy. should i go for the large or large-tall?

Do they make it in large tall? That would solve the problem.

Q: Does it Shrink after tumble dry?

Typically I tumble dry it slightly, then lay it out to dry, flat. Using this technique, I have found no shrinkage. I do not know if it would shrink if I dried it in a dryer throughly.
