Warm and Water-resistant

By MargieS Ranked #16 - Boys' Fleece Jackets September 16, 2011

I LOVE this jacket. I ordered a size 10-12 for my 10-year-old and a size 14-16 for my 13-year-old. My older son is on the small side. This jacket fits him fine, with a little room to grow. He'll probably be able to wear it next year, when he's 14, too. My younger son is in the 70th %tile for height and weight. The size 10-12 fits him perfectly now, but I think it will be too small next year. At $116.00 this is distressing! I wish I had also ordered him a size 14-16; I think it would have been fine. I feel this jacket runs true to the smaller size listed (so a 10-12 is more like a 10 and a 14-16 is more like a 14.) My boys both wanted black, so I bought 2 blacks, but I LOVE the colors that are available! This jacket is warm and lightweight - my kids think it is soft and cozy. It's slightly water repellent, so it's good for being out at recess in a drizzle. A pouring/soaking rain is no match for this jacket, but it wasn't designed for that. This is a great jacket for fall hikes and other outdoor activities. It will also be great for skiing on those warm/sunny ski days when you tend to get too hot in a parka. I think it's definitely worth the money, but at this price you might consider ordering up a size.
