[quote=Anonymous]I’m an outdoorsy sort who hikes, cross-country skis, and camps in cold weather. I agree with others that layers are important. Also, keeping head, neck, hands, and feet warm can make a big difference in how one perceives cold. The Patagonia R1 Techface is a great layer between indoor clothes and a heavier jacket. Cotopaxi and other companies are starting to make similar fleece products that are a better value. Down or polyfill is what makes winter jackets warm. High altitude mountaineers still wear down suits. If the puffer jacket doesn’t feel warm enough, your child may prefer a high density of down fill. Of course, that will always add bulk. Jackets that come down over the hips also tend to feel warmer because they don’t gap at the waist and somewhat cover one’s behind. My recommendation would be to shop together at an outdoor outfitter and see what your kiddo will tolerate from a fashion and bulk standpoint.[/quote]
