as a heads-up... the outermost layer is treated to be a water shield, and that shields from many stains and slows abrasion marks.

There is no standardized temperature rating for clothing. I can tell you that with proper base and mid layers, this jacket will suffice for activities in well-below freezing temps. I have seen a lot of these at Mile High Stadium on cold football days...

the single removal remark was tongue in cheek. It is not a pretty or easy removal. Rom____ is correct that it will probably involve damaging the seam to remove it.

I don't know about the Bean version, and I can tell you that the amount of down fill in this jacket is superior to almost every other down coat out there.

he is on the edge of both sizes... you can go with the bigger size and sneak another layer under there on the really cold days this year, at that rate.

it offers superior watrer resistance. It is not intended for drenching, driving rain. the treatment occurs at the fiber level, and not the fabric level. This equates to a quiet, effective and resilient jacket.

the steens does not have the correctly guaged zipper to zip into this shell. You have a better chance at finding a 3 point interchange piece (sleeve, sleeve and neck attachment)

JAckets and Pants are not temperature rated with a standardized scale. I can tell you that the treatment on the softshell will do very well in light rain, light snow and driving winds. the length will obviously cover more and help retain more heat.

This is built for function with a fashionable finish

cordovan is brown. there is a very subtle red tint to it, rather than a gray - brown

I think if he is a 32-24 inseam, a L will do well. The fit is generous and will easily cover in a Large. An XL might be too baggy and too much space to heat up.

this is a generous fit, and I still think a medium will do well. The Fast Trek is slimmer in the body and runs much closer in the arm

There are a number of ways to secure it...
- remove it when it is not needed and roll-n-fold it.
- you can also detach the middle roll it, and secure it with that velcro strap to the loop on the liner.

This jacket is waterproof, more breathable, and part of a more vibrant color offering. The zip out fleece is a little more generous in the body, offering a better solution for a kick-around-town fleece

This pant tightens up nicely, and a belt may be the ticket for your skinny kiddo.

or maybe some pink and flowery suspenders, purely as a precaution

I had to look it up to make sure. All catalogs say YES it does have a gaiter in all sizes. The 19m made me check the smallest sizing curve to confirm.

It will do a great job against any region's cold. I would also take a peek at the Harlow and the Zurich for some warmer, insulating zip-ins

absolutely. the Ballistic will work well on its own for the travel and transition time... going to the hill and booting-up when you get there.

it is right in the middle... Not too tight, when heat transfer can occur. It is not too big, like the more active cuts that will need space for a ski helmet.

it is highly water resistant. Instead of a membrane, the garment is treated on the outside and is very durable and resilient

it is best cared for in a front loader, and a technical detergent is highly recommended. My strongest suggestion is to not dry it... line drying it and then a quick flash in the dryer will keep it feeling soft

she may fall between the 14/16 and the 18/20... what may help is the consideration of the sleeve length. Obviously, the 18/20 will give her more rooom to throw her arms around

These pants do have an adjustable waist and will allow a belt as well. at the leg, there is a grow cuff, allowing lengthening as he gets taller.

There is no temp rating on apparel due to the articulation and many other factors. I can tell you that this is the warmest, most functional set for kiddo activity in the cold. the bib-into-jacket lineup creates a more stable environmet to hold heat and keep the outside elements on the outside of the clothing

the jacket comes out of the wrapper with a 20 inch sleeve and 23 inch chest. this will be a great jacket for her and it should help you identify her more readily on the slopes

The Lhotse and the Rodeo Magic are both good looking and well priced... making for a good battle!

Very highly water resistant, and no membrane. the water repellancy is at the fiber level instead of fabric, making it more resilient and effective. No seam taping here however.

the hood is removable infinitely, and the faux fur trim is removable only once.

??? Columbia sleeves are rarely refered to as too short by the traditional fit and scale. the length of the body is the only aspect that is varied by jacket model in the same size.

Now I will have to track down the sleeve nay-sayer...

It is water reesistant, and does a bang-up job at it too. The treatment is done at the fiber instead of the fabric... making it softer and more durable

Hello, This is the jacket that many people are reaching for as they prepare for the coldest days ahead. The down insulation will retain heat very well and and the outer shell will prevent the outside from getting in. The extra length will cover more of you and create a great, more stable interior environment...

... or, yes, it can be that warm. I am sorry there is no heat rating on clothing when it comes to this jacket!

The Volcano Flow hoodie is compatible as is the Nordic Babe Liner.

I am sorry to say that the zipper is not compatible with the Interchange zipper on your Alpen Rose. Here are some that will, and please notice the few that are hooded

Fleece - Miss Roseway, Terrain Kicker and Pearl Plush will connect in the 3-point system (nape and cuff attachment)

Puffy - The Vienna ... A knockout jacket with TONS of versatility, and it gets my highest recommendation for your needs

The jacket is a single layer of 360g fleece. The only time it deviates from that is for the pockets and they are a slicker tricot.

the slightly longer length will help cover, and the waterproof breathable membrane will outperform any other, stagnant or running

Hello, This jacket is equipped with OmniTech-- a proprietary, waterproof breathable membrane. It is every bit as waterproof as GTX, and OmniTech will breathe with much greater ease. making those wet days not feel at all as clammy as the other jackets will.

the function is fantastic and the new styling is on track as well... It will work out great!

the shell is coated with RainStop II, keeping the wettest snow out, and there is both a fleece lining and a insulation layer to keep the warmth in. The insulation is low profile, tightly woven and quite efficient without any excessive bulk. I hope this helps

It was manufactured in Asia.

there is no weather rating for apparel. There are too many variables, including movement, that make it impossible to rate it like a sleeping bag

The Snow Maiden II Pant comes in that exact colorway... the slidezone will match colors of the print.

I know you said fleece, and I will give you too much info...

Softshell - Ice Ax, Crag Mtn, Ice wave
Fleece - Ballistic, lightweight waypoint, blade run, fairweather

the measurement from the bottom of the collar to the bottom of the garment body is 23" and the sleeve. Measurements in addition to that are available on the size chart.

I will tell you that this piece has a generous fit.

there is no pocket, however you can place one on the back of the fingers when the top is covering the fingers.

the liner is a blend of cotton and poly, and that fabric is treated with Omni-Shield... allowing water to bead on the surface.

It is designed to keep moisture away from the body

it is a very soimilar fabric, treated rather similarly as well... it is close to the wrinkle resistance of the Sec Check

they are paired with their liners... You can order an additional piece to wear on its own or layered up... look at the ascender softshell for a nice third jacket

this jacket does have insulation. It is Microtemp and quite eficient for its bulk and weight. the shell is waterproof, the insulation is a pile and microtemp and the cut is reasonably generous... making a great jacket as is, or open enough to allow layering with ease

the pimary difference between the two is the pile fleece trim added to the Bear Hug. the body panels are the same weight fleece.

this will be warm and not too bulky. If the kiddo starts to rose up with warmth, open it up a bit to vent a little heat

the Lander has a full-length gussett, making the ROC have fewer panels and look simpler. the Lander would have more articulation with those added panels, by design

Yes.... it is awesome for that. Great insulation and construction will keep them warm to play in the cold and snow

two things...
- the fit is generous and too big a fit will not insulate well.
- the foot and hand flaps flip out over their respective part. the seams of the foot could be quite a bit to shove into a boot. keeping it open to a nice sock and foot for hte boot may be a better way to keep the little one warm

the fit is generous, without creating too much dead air space. You should be able to make it, but growth spurts are very possible and capable of proving me wrong!

here is a small list of the many that will fit...
fleece - ten trail, nordic point, jam fleece,
softshell - Ascender

have at it...

out of those two choices, PT200. It may be a bit heavier. This piece has a fit that is generous without being too baggy. If you plan to layer closely, dropping a size might not be a bad idea

matte sheen, off white... not dirty though

the push for more units is on... keep checking availability

The only interchange compatible (zip-in) piece for boys is the volcano flow. I would suggest the Fast Trek for a better layering fit and a fleece layer, and I need to mention that it has an incompatible zipper

from the bottom of the collar to the bottom of the garment, it is 28.5... cut to run under the belt line

22" to 23", depending on size

it is lined with a lofted, pile fleece

This one has OmniShield, a water and stain repellant treatment. The specs are the same form the I to the II beyond that.

There is no temperature rating for apparel like there is in sleeping bags and such. There are too many variables. I will tell you that this is built to be one of the warmest, most resilient interchange jackets in the line for this year. The zipout fleece lining jacket is not the skinny, thin stuff...

They usually fit up to a 3-6 month kiddo size, and still offer some space for insulation

oh, yes. It is the fake stuff

it was originally paired with the Enigma, Divine, Retro and Surreal... you may still find some of those. Of course, that texture on the jacket will look good with a solid color and muted texture pant

Clothing is not temperature rated like sleeping bags. I can tell you that with a proper base layer and densely knit hat, kiddos will stay remarkably warm in this jacket.

the down will be warmer, and this will be easier to care for. they are both good, with different composition.

I am a fan of this jacket. It is burly and resilient for a rough and tumble kiddo and still not too heavy for the heat generated by that same kiddo. It is a warmer jacket and built to breathe. it is not thin, too fitted or too skimpy.

I count 2 inside, 2 outside

it is faux fur

this is imported

the liner is Black on the white tweed and light blue on the zircon tweed.

this has a coil zipper and will not match the compnent zipper. try the volcano flow

This is a good insualtion piece, and will add to any shell for warmth in the wind. By itself, it will allow wind to move through it

The Crag is a a closer fit and the Ascender is more generous, as another bit of differentiation

it is a complete hood... the picture shows it as it would if it was thrown back. It's a great hood

these jackets arrived not too long ago and will be photoed soon. The complete color offering is available on the link you posted and they will all be readily available. With no color or size option, preordering would probably necessitate further contact to pinpoint what you want.

the Powell's Pick is 28" down the back, whereas this is 24.5"... the Powell's Pick will run a bit longer to cover the rump as much as it can.

They are both waterproof and breathable.

These three colors round out the complete offering of colorways

brrrr... and yes. With a good base layer and effective headwear, this jacket has the ability to retain heat in the coldest of days. the modular components make it easier to be ready for the warmer or transition days as well.

with the right base layer and headwear, this jacket should do very well in temperatures like that. There are no temperature ratings for apparel, and you have to go by hearsay. I feel confident that this will suffice in even lower temps.

This one will not. It doesn't have the same zipper guage nor the tie-in loops.

It is a great choice for a catch all... golf bag, backpack, spring ski day, etc. it has a great fit and will even keep a light shower at bay.

there is no temperature rating on clothing due to an outrageous number of factors that don't play a role in sleeping bag ratings. I will tell you that this is one of the warmest jacket this Fall. The 60/40 is a blend of the down insualtion (goose and down)... to keep the price lower and still offer great insulaion. As for the steps to insulate, this is our greatest commitment to create fantastic insulation, equating to 450 fill.

this does not have a removable lining. For removable pieces, check out the Halftime Hustle. the Whirlibird, or the High Jump. They are all shorter jackets, I will point out

it is lightewr weight, and more heavily plated on the outside. This weave will make it more resilient to stains as well as abrasions.

Clothing is not rated for temperature, due to a huge number of variables. I will tell you that the lenght of this jacket offers more coverage, the outer material is a great barrier from the outside, and the insulating down is fantastic at heat retention... making this one of the warmest jackets available this Fall. This is also running pretty true to size

this clothing is not rated for temperature, as with most clothing. There are too many variables for clothing. I will say that it is very warm with proper insulation and base materials, making it easier to withstand the elements... including -30.

it is not a frosty or faded purple. It is closer to a medium shade due to the depth of the color. Too vague?

by itself on mid-range days, or layered with good insulation on colder days, it is a great jacket for skiing with its versatility

oops... 'forgot to answer half of the question... it has a light, loft insulation and is'nt terribly heavy at all

The hood will be a great layer of protection and another way to contain heat that would otherwise radiate off the top of the head. With a good knit hat, it shoudl be a great system to help keep warm

Extended sizes aare shipping now and will soon be visible and available. Keep an eye on the site

This jacket will beat the wet and the wind with no problem. A Fast Trek Fleece would be a great way to warm it up.

the caffeine used is a gren tea extract = slower burning and not the tremendous crash at the end... leave that for the amphetamine caffeine out there.

ask for Roks to get the protein version

DIN is DIN... the standard tab size, dimension, and durometer has a very small tolerance for the DIN spec and regulations for adult ski boots. The forward pressure indicator was a bit different than on bindings preceding it, and that was probably the hang-up people mis-named. This binding is awesome.

They do in fact zip together. You can use the pieces by themselves or zipped together. The Snow Powder Down Bunting uses down, and will be the warmer of the two, and maybe the warmest of the offering.

this bunting gives you the option to flip the cuffs over on the sleeves to cover the hand, and the leg to cover the feet. Keeping the leg flipped up will keep out of a boot and allow a walking child to do so comfortably
