Got this jacket in the mail today and we love it. We like the blue vapor color. Not boy looking but a change from pink and purple. My little girl loves the color and is now glad they were out of the purple in her size. I ordered the size 7/8 she's currently in a 6 but will be able to wear it in the fall. I can tell she will be able to wear it for 2 years, a definite plus. I was so glad the arms weren't made for a monkey like some jackets. My daughter has short arms and these sleeves are great, plenty of room to grow but I won't have to roll them up 2 or 3 times like some jackets she's previously owned. I really like the waterproof/windproof aspect of this jacket. It really sold me. That's why I get cold, the wind goes straight through my jacket or my jacket will get wet in the rain and then I get chilled. I think I can throw a fleece jacket under this one and she'll be really warm on a very cold day and she'll stay dry in a chilly rain. The hood fits better than most jackets. Most hoods are just useless and aren't made to fit a child's head. The person that designed this jacket was brilliant, or was a parent at one time in their life. The hood stays on her head and will keep the wind out of her ears. Thumbs up Columbia. Oh and the stretchy wristband keeps the wind from going up her sleeves and from falling down over her hands. I am very impressed with this little jacket, glad I spent the money. It will be handed down to my younger daughter later, so I'm definitely getting my money's worth out of it. It should go 2 seasons for each, with the quality I think it will last and still look good but only time will tell. I highly recommend.

Wow, fast shipping and a great price. My little girl is so cold natured we thought a ski jacket would be best. She picked out the heliotrope "grape" color as she calls it. It looks great on her, it will definitely go two seasons. I ordered the size 4/5. I love the way this coat is made, and it's a plus that she has a wind/waterproof jacket, a fleece jacket, and a very warm coat all in one. I don't have to buy her anything extra for fall, spring or winter for 2 years. I don't even have to buy a raincoat. Definitely worth the price. She loves it and can't wait until it gets cold. Her favorite part is the soft fleece that zips in. She likes it all by itself, it is pretty soft. I'm a very picky Mom about my kids coats/jackets and I did lots of research about brands, quality, and price. This one came out on top in every area. The 3 in 1 aspect was what finally won me over, thank you Columbia, my little girl will stay warm this winter.
