I have recently purchased this jacket for my son and it was definatly a smart move. The jacket was not bulky as I had feared, but at the same time it feels that it would be a great jacket to keep in warmth when needed, and still be able to run and play as little boys should. The only thing that I would change is by adding a powder skirt. Overall a great jacket for the price. We did have to return it however because it was a tad short in the sleeve (about another inch in the sleeve would have been nice). Before we ordered one to replace it we went to a local store and tried on similar jackets (same name brand though cause they all seem to go by different measurements). My son was very happy with the jacket and I would say that if you are looking for a great jacket that you should consider this one. The return was rather simple. I am very pleased with backcountry and thier products and I am going to order another jacket for my son and myself as well from backcountry.

I think this is a great coat for the $! My son is on the smaller size of 5, so I wasn't sure if the size 4/5 would be too small, but it's definitely fine. Fits great, he loves it, cute, basic colors, looks good! We haven't yet gotten to the heart of our freezing MN winters, but I feel like he'll be warm enough in this coat.
