The North Face Resolve Jacket - Boys' - 2008 BCS

My mistake that I misread the description and thought it was a little heavier than it actually is. And, I agree with another reviewer, this jacket runs small, tho not as small as Columbia.

Hood rolls up nicely and easily fits in the collar. The hood is also large enough to go over a fleece hoodie's hood so on colder mornings, my son can wear both hoods.

My only complaint is the mesh lining gets "stuck" to the velcro tabs on the side of zipper very easily and if you don't carefully separate the two each time you wear the jacket, you can easily wear away or worse, tear the mesh lining. While adults may take the time to carefully separate the two, not so little boys, I'm afraid.

All in all, my son likes the jacket and it does keep him dry and warm when layered over a heavier sweater or fleece jacket.

I bought this jacket for myself a few years ago and I love it. The boys large fits me, a 5'2, 105 pound woman, and I wear it basically every where. It stays dry in a decent rain, but in a down pour, it will get soaked through, but it also works a a great wind shell or outer layer for when hiking plus it packs great when space is tight in a back pack.

I bought three of these for my sons (ages 9, 7 1/2, and 4). They run true to size (not small like Columbia) and are a great water-repellent jacket for 40-60 degree weather, depending on how much layering you do underneath. They breathe well and are very lightweight. I use them primarily as rain gear in moderate weather.

I bought this jacket for my son (7yrs.) as a rain jacket to wear during any season. On colder days he can layer it with a fleece vest underneath. I do, however, disagree with another reviewer. I felt the jacket runs somewhat small, especially if you wish to get more than one season wear. The fleece lining around the collar was a great touch. I'm very satisfied, as is my son.

This jacket was perfect for our hiking/traveling needs whilst in Banff/Jasper National Parks where the weather can turn very quickly. We encountered rain, hail, and high wind and the resolve jackets protected my boys perfectly. We couldn't have made the trip without these jackets. My boys generally avoid wearing raincoats but they wore these during our entire trip. They are as stylish as you can get for a raincoat, good colors and the fit is nice. The price point was an added bonus. I did size up based on previous reviews and that worked well as my boys will surely get more use out of them. The only thing I don't love are the velcro tabs that are on the outside of the jacket near the zipper as it catches on certain clothing and has permanently pilled some of my sportswear. Just be careful when carrying/washing it.

highly recommended for little ones. Dry, tough, and fits well. Soft material, not clingy and seems to breathe well just like adult jackets. Can't miss w/ this one and the price is at a good point. Definitely recommend this for kids.

This fit my 13 year old perfectly. I was impressed that although it is a "boys" jacket, it has a lot of the features that are usually only on adult jackets (zippered pockets, brushed material around the collar for softness, etc.). Our friends also purchased one for our 7 yr. old from another vendor, and although it said it was the same jacket, the small one did not have zippered pockets, stowable hood, or brushed collar). Very happy with this purchase. Thanks!

This is a great, quality jacket overall. They do run very small despite what the sizing charts indicate so be sure to order the next size up.

The jacket is cool However, the jacket is thin is not made for the cold at all. It's more like a cool summer night. My grandson used it in the rain and that worked pretty well. So overall i am happy with the jacket.

My 8- and 6-year old boys decided they're done with the cute cartoon-themed kids' raincoats. What to do to keep them dry and stylish in our 9 months of wet & damp? The answer: The North Face Resolve.
Sealed seams and hoods keep them dry at recess and while waiting for the bus. Roomy enough to layer a hoodie underneath for colder days. Very light-weight and easy to put into a backpack.
Great quality -- The North Face does it again.

This one is really waterproof my son loves to wear it. Works well as a spring jacket or windbreaker also. Only one thing, it does not attach to the northface fleece.

One thing you need to make sure before ordering is that this is NOT a jacket i.e. it doesn't keep you warm on its own. It's meant as a rain blocker, and it does an amazing job at that. Put on warm clothes underneath and you're golden.

I bought this coat for my daughter because the girl's version was sold out in black. It fits perfectly and will be an "easy sell" to pass down to her younger brother. It's a great rain jacket, but also good for blocking wind. WIth a fleece jacket, it's very warm.

Just got the jacket and pants

I bought this jacket for my 9 year old son. It just arrived and seems like a really good quality rain jacket. It looks great on as well. I think this jacket runs small though. Based on the sizing chart my son fit into the medium category; we are returning for it a large. With a fleece underneath it just fits and leaves no room to grow.

I actually bought this jacket for myself, and I love it. I found the size of the jacket to be right on point. It's a pretty simple jacket, which is hard to find these days. I would recommend this definitely!

I bought this jacket for both of my sons (ages 5 and 7). It is difficult to find a raincoat for these ages because they are either too cutesy or too much coat. This coat was exactly what I was looking for - a rain coat that can breathe and easily stow in a backpack. I would also agree with the other reviewer - I did not find the jacket ran small. In fact, I'm not sure my oldest will get 2 seasons out of it. I would highly recommend it. And I have really been pleased with this company's customer service.
