Columbia Caribou Mountain Down Coat - Boys'

February 11, 2009

Well to some extent you get what you pay for, so the more expensive jackets will definitely have advantages, but they may not necessarily be in warmth. They could be lighter, more water/windproof, more durable, or any number of other things. This is a great jacket, even for the price, and it'll do a great job keeping your kid warm, but the more expensive ones may do it better.

"low-puff down" means low warmth

Rating for this product: 3 February 11, 2009

Looking for the warmest coat for my 5-year-old son I tried this one. Nice coat, and nice value at the sale price. But it's essentially a thin down jacket inside a sturdy shell; sounds like a good idea, but warmth is about loft, and this coat doesn't have much loft. I got a North Face McMurdo instead. Great customer service from Backcountry.com.
