We read some of the other comments on sizing and were a bit concerned as our 9 year old girl is slim and tall for her age. After store visits we found that many of Columbia's current line are cut this way and the store selections were poor. So we decided to take a chance - the end result is the jacket fits her very well - it helped that we knew the Columbia sizing from store visits. It is a shortish ski jacket style fit (not a parka) so there is a risk we won't get two winters out of it. However the powder skirt eliminated any concern over length - it wraps and grips on her skipants and nothing gets through. It is insulated, warm for skiing, but not too bulky. Overall the detail is excellent - it really looks great on her and has a real subtle sporty style about it.
