Everyone else seems to have such great luck with this jacket, but ours has been terrible. I have owned Marmot parkas for myself that I have loved, but my son’s ripped a week after buying it. Then again. And again. This is in normal use, not climbing through a briar patch. One winter, six tears, total. The ‘down’ is poking through a seam, and the seams are unraveling in two places. What happened? I’m so disappointed. I hope we bought a counterfeit....

Bought two of these coats for my 6 year old twin boys. They are around 45 lbs and 48 inches tall. The small fit them perfectly with room to grow. My kids have been wearing them for about 2 months now, we've already had to wash them and they still look great. I've bought cheaper coats in the past and have regretted it especially with how much they get used during Cleveland winters, these are worth the extra money and we will be buying more once they grow out of them.

This is the third one I've gotten for my son, as he keeps growing. Very warm and durable. He loves it. Because of his, I ended up getting the adult version.

With two active boys we know that we can buy this jacket and get 6 good years out of it before passing it along to friends. This jacket packs light, keeps him warm in snow and under a shell in wet weather and at night during higher elevation summer camping. We take it everywhere. Love it!

Just got this for my soon to be 10-year-old son. I have one in blue for my 8-year-old, too. The jacket is really warm, comfortable, and roomy enough for next year, too (I hope). For the large, my son is about 80 pounds and 4'3". Really recommend this.

No complaints. It's quite warm, well-made, and strong enough to withstand a few diggers when my 5-year-old gets a little to rowdy on his bike ride to school!

My son is 52 pounds and 42" and picky. The coat is big on him, but he's ok wearing it like that. It should last for a few winters. He likes the style and that the coat isn't too puffy. It seems warm and comfortable so far.

The jacket itself is great and exactly the quality you'd expect from Marmot. However, it was a bit more than our "I hate wearing jackets" kid wanted to wear. I guess he'd rather be cold. Though no fault of the jacket, it went back.

This is the second Marmot jacket I have purchased for my now 6-year-old grandson. The jacket fit well; seemed sturdier than the Ama Dablam, and seemed warm enough for a NH winter. But my grandson liked the color and the weight of the Ama Dablam jacket, so I returned the Marmot Guides jacket. I have no hesitation in recommending the jacket for an active boy.

I purchased this coat for my son for next winter. It arrived on time, looks at ordered, and fits exactly like I wanted it to for this time of year. Will be great for next winter. I selected the green jacket because its his favorite color. Can't beat the price.

My nephew hates having too many layers on so when I got him this jacket he was able to actually stop wearing 2 of his other layers because this jacket was so warm. On most days he wears a fleece under it and on extra cold days will wear 2 fleeces. This jacket keeps him plenty warm. Plus the hood covers his face too keep him extra warm! It's a more durable fabric that I'm used to for down also, which is great for him because he's clumbsy. He actually enjoys wearing it so his mom is extra happy! Certainly recommend for kids.

This is a great value. Super warm and great looking. Runs a bit big

This is a nice coat that looks very warm. I thought it ran a little big as it was too large all around on my 8 year old son whose measurements matched those of a medium on the size chart. My son didn't like the coat as he thought it was too "poofy" in the arms and body so we will be returning it. He likes The North Face Perrito jacket he wore last year better as it is slimmer fitting to the body.
