Hi I was thinking about getting this jacket for either one or both of my daughters maybe me too. My one daughter is 10 years old 5feet tall weight is about 951b, my other daughter is 8 years old she is 4feet 6inches tall about 65 ibs and I am 5 feet 7 inches and 120. What sizes do you recommend? I don't know if my 8 year old could even wear if the arms may to long. But my 10 year old is is tall with long arms. Is this a good and warm enough for snow skiing?

Hi, i can't comment on the sizes you need except that i think your 8 yr old daughter will not be able to take these women's sleeves as they will really be too long for her. On the point of skiing, do note that this is a really short-length urban/casual wear jacket and so bear in mind it does not have the full features of a skiing jacket like a powder/snow skirt which keeps the snow from getting inside the jacket; as well as to keep the jacket from riding up during skiing and falls. So with the Gotham you will get some snow, especially on the back which will inevitably ride up (from a skiing posture) and in really cold/wet conditions that will not be too pleasant and you will get a cold/wet back eventually seeping in. Not fun in the long run. Lastly, the hem and cuffs are ribbed and do not allow for tightening/fastening like with a hem cinch-cord or Velcro closer so thats not snow-proof. On the other hand, if you are tolerant of these issues, and also for the fact that you are not going for a long ski tour (eg. more than a few days, going into weeks) the Gotham might be ok (it will definitely keep you warm!). So it depends on your skiing comfort preferences (in the past) and how much tolerance your children will have. For an idea of the length, the link below with a photo of the Gotham on a model might give a clue. It will stop at the waist level, whereas for a ski jacket you would be more comfortable with a hip length one. http://coolspotters.com/clothing/the-north-face-gotham-jacket
