The North Face Denali Fleece Jacket - Boys'

October 20, 2011

Denalis tend to have a long sleeves and shorter "body". If your son needs to have a jacket which will kinda "roomy" go choose XL (sleeves could be long), if he prefers more snuggly fit - L will be ok.

The North Face Boundary Triclimate Jacket - Boys'

January 31, 2009

Yea, TNF sizing chart is a big trick not only for boys, but for girls and women also. The best you can do to avoid dissapointment and twice paid shipping cost is to go the the store and try in person the model you wanna by online. My 5 y.o. son is small build for his age, but his TNF Denali is in sz.XXS, his TNF Boundary Triclimate is in sz.XS, his McMurdo in sz.XS is SO HUGE on him, so i guess he will wear it in 2-3 years, Glacier fleece pants in sz.XXS are right for length, but too small for waist, Short Sleeve tee in sz.XS is great, Long Sleeve Tee in sz.XS is HUGE... i can continue endless...

I bought it for my husband in sz L/XL in Black. He is not actually a big-headed, but this hat fits perfect! Keep in mind that this hat is not adjustable, so order it online after trying it on in person. This hat is very well made and looks great. My husband doesn't have any complaints about it.

The North Face Denali Gloves - Boys'

Rating for this product: 4 December 29, 2008

I got this gloves for my 4.9 yrs.old son in sz.S. Gloves itselves are great, very well constracted and appear to be very warm (i own the same gloves in women small). But sizing is really tricky. For 4-5 y.olds with regular palm these gloves most likely will be too big. So sure they will wait to be worn in couple of yrs anyway.

What the internal tag exactly says:"Remove synthetic fur hood trim and hand or mashine wash warm delicate cycle. Air dry only. Use no heat for parka. Mashine was warm separately, do not dry clean. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low".I washed mine about 3-4 times in washing mashine (delicate cycle, cold water) and left dry on air... Nothing bad happend.

TNF Windwall 1 Jacket, Men

The North Face Windwall 1 Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 November 29, 2008

My Husband got this jacket in rare-to-find now Zinc Grey Color. Jacket itself is awesome, fit is comfortable and great.
Fabric is 200 Windwall Fleece - it's NOT like Polartec or regular double-sided fleece, outer surface looks and feels like TKA 100 fleece, inner one has different structure, a lil bit "noisy" and lined with thin dotted nylon fabric. So i would say, it's better to wear this Jacket alone, not as inner layer.
My Husband tested this Jacket (paired with regular short sleeve cotton t-shirt) on windy day with temp. 42-45F. He was cold, but wind didn't go through, so windproof option is as expected.
This Jacket is also zip-in compatible with most TNF zip-in compatible outer shells.

These Flip Flops are great, they are so comfortable and look attractive with practically any summer outfit. Cushionning is awesome, they are not slippery on wet floor, flexibility of sole is medium.
Def a must have for pools, beach trips and summer city use.

Rating for this product: 5 November 29, 2008

Got this lightweight but very warm snowsuit for my 6 mo old babyboy last fall. It fits true to sz. I loved this snowsuit, quality is great! Down doesn't come out, zipper doesn't jam, lining is slippery polyester, not messy fleece. My son used this snowsuit for all cold season, i washed it several times and it still looked like new.
Great Snowsuit, you will not be dissapointed!

Columbia Avalanche Ridge Jacket - Toddler Boys'

Rating for this product: 3 November 29, 2008

Honestly i've had a higher expectations for this Jacket. It looks great and fits comfortable, but my son's hands were always cold. Since he was just around 2 y.o., he didn't tell me if he is cold generally in this jacket or not. So first i added the thick wool sweater as layer, it worked for warmth, but was too bulky... So we ended up buying regular Ralph Lauren Down Jacket.
So as a parent of 2 toddlers i would not recommend this jacket for cold weather's CITY use (around 30-35F), unless your child will wear it for snow sport-related activities.

The size of this beanie is perfect for average head size of 8-10 y.olds. My son is younger so i made it a lil bit smaller using a rubber band on the top (inside).

Rating for this product: 4 November 21, 2008

I bought this shirt in sz Large for my morning jogging sessions. I'm 4'11" and 99 lbs and it fit very snug. The actual measurements are: from armpit to armpit - 18"; length (from the middle of the collar til the bottom's hem)- 21 1/2"; sleeve length from armpit to the hem - 19". The 100 TKA fleece is lightweight, but warm enough for fall/springtime and of good quality.
I gave 4 stars cuz based on TNF size chart this shirt supposes to be a little bee roomie (as i actually wanted), so keep in mind that it runs small.
