Bought size M for my 8 year old son, 117 cm high.
As we live in an extreem area of the world, we have high expectations for our clothes. The clothes has to keep us warm in the boat in the fall and during the 7 month long winter on the dogsledge, and of course in the school playground.
Theese pants keep him dry, well most of the day ;) The fleece at the chest is great, we love that detail!
But after only one month with playing, jumping, sledding aso. they look really used, also on the taped seam. I wonder how they will look later, afterall the winter is long, and I was depending on the pants to be in use all winter ;)
To compare I bought a pair of bib in 1994 (also TNF), they first started to look used after 8-9 years... and yes I use them a lot for snowboarding, snowmobile, dogsledging, hiking, sailing, hunting aso. So I actually was a bit dispointed of theese pair.
How does TNF test the childrens wear?
Maybe it could be an idea to test it on a pair of 6-7-8-9 year olds :)
Best regards

These pants are great! Very easy to get on and off. The attached fleece on top is perfect for keeping the snow and cold air out.
