The North Face

Inverse Down Jacket - Boys'

A boys' down jacket should do one thing: help him get an A in math. Actually, that's not true at all. The North Face Boys' Inverse Down Jacket does the one real thing a puffy should do: keep junior super warm. The design is minimalistic; it's on the inside that the Inverse shines, with 550-fill down that will keep him cozy while waiting for the bus on mildly cold mornings before school. It also works great as a stout warming layer under a shell when it's dumping or he is on the sledding hill. The DWR-treated polyester ripstop sheds light moisture in case it starts to snow on him, and the elastic binding at cuffs and hem seal out drafts. The Inverse is a simple jacket, and that's all you need from a down layer.
