Gear That Works as Hard as You Do: The Carhartt® Rain Defender® Paxton Heavyweight Hoodie
In Northern Nevada, the weather doesn’t ask for permission. One minute you’re working under a clear desert sky, and the next, a cold front rolls off the Sierras bringing wind and a freezing drizzle. When a heavy coat is too bulky for the job but a standard sweatshirt won’t cut it, you need the Carhartt® Rain Defender® Paxton Heavyweight Hooded Zip-Front Sweatshirt (CT100614).
At Battle Born Clothing, we don’t just print shirts; we provide gear that stands up to the "Battle Born" lifestyle. Here is why the Paxton is the ultimate mid-layer for your crew and why your logo belongs on it.

Built for the Elements
The "Rain Defender" name isn't just marketing—it’s a promise. This sweatshirt features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish. When the mist hits, the water beads up and rolls right off the fabric instead of soaking in.
But it’s not just about staying dry; it’s about staying warm. Clocking in at a massive 13 ounces, this is one of the heaviest sweatshirts on the market. Whether you're at a job site in Yerington or heading up to Tahoe for the weekend, the cotton/poly blend provides a thick thermal barrier that blocks the wind and traps heat.
Features That Matter on the Job
Carhartt knows work, and the Paxton is loaded with details that make a difference:
-
The Three-Piece Hood: Unlike standard "cone" hoods, the jersey-lined three-piece design is contoured to fit your head comfortably, even over a cap.
-
Hidden Security Pocket: We’ve all been there—dropping a phone out of a hoodie pocket. The Paxton features a hidden security pocket inside the hand-warmer pockets to keep your essentials locked down.
-
Brass Hardware: The antique-finish brass front zipper isn't just for looks; it’s built to survive thousands of zips without snagging or breaking.
-
Spandex-Reinforced Ribbing: The cuffs and waistband are reinforced with spandex to ensure they don't stretch out and "blow out" over time.
Why Customize Your Carhartt with Battle Born?
Your team is your best advertisement. Putting your company logo on a Carhartt garment sends a specific message to your clients: Quality matters.
At Battle Born Clothing, we use industrial-grade embroidery and screen printing to ensure your branding is as durable as the garment itself. The heavyweight 13oz fabric of the Paxton is the perfect "canvas" for embroidery. While thinner sweatshirts might pucker or pull under a high-stitch-count logo, the Paxton holds its shape, giving your brand a clean, professional, and 3D-pop finish.

The Verdict: Is it right for your crew?
If your team spends time outdoors—landscaping, construction, ranching, or logistics—the CT100614 is a non-negotiable part of the uniform. It offers the mobility of a sweatshirt with the protection of a light jacket.
Available Sizes: Small through 4XL. Colors: Black, New Navy, and Carbon Heather.
