[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate NorthFace.  They are over priced and things like loops to hang a jacket out rip out easily b/c the quality is poor.

Plus--most of their jackets have zero reflective material.  This is one of the reasons I like the Columbia Bugaboo jacket for boys or girls:  http://www.columbia.com/boys-bugaboo-interchange-jacket-1562071.html?dwvar_1562071_variationColor=613#q=bugaboo&start=9

That thin line of piping on the back will reflect car headlights when they're walking from the bus stop for example.

I also like these jackets b/c they are not puffy and will fit into lockers, they are fully waterproof (we get lots of rain), layer-able--they can wear just the fleece, just the raincoat, or the whole thing when we get snowmagedons.

OP here.  The interchange is what my DS has always worn.  I am no longer buying it for him though, because he constantly takes it apart and leave the lining at school, on the bus, at peoples houses etc...  I'm getting him a winter coat where the lining cannot be removed this time (so for him I'm looking for a coat that is warm but on the thinner side).

My DD hates layers, so she will not wear the interchange.  She also hates thickness, so her coat will need to be warm and thinner as well.  What bugs me is that the Columbia coats seem to be running shorter than other brands over the past couple of years.  We have done the LLBean  Katahdin parka in the past.  I cannot find it at the store or online any longer though.[/quote]
