[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Columbia has run pretty true to size for us and the jackets have the grow-with-you or whatever they call it with cuffs that extend.

I can definitely understand if they don't like layers or are forgetful of them, but usually my kids were only wearing the whole thing in the coldest of weather.  I have a Patagonia jacket and it runs true to size, but it's puffy.

Personally the key things for me after fit, is being waterproof and something that gives kids visibility when it gets dark earlier.[/quote]

OP here.   My DS would take the coat apart even on the coldest of days. So for him I just have to eliminate the urge.  I also have to have the coat waterproof and have something on it that's reflective. That's why I like the L.L. Bean coat in the past.  I guess I'm going to L.L. Bean and Columbia sometime in the next couple of months. [/quote]

Maybe your son zips out the lining because he's hot?  So buying a heavy coat might be uncomfortable.  A lot of those lining are fleece, which I would not want to wear personally.  Fleece makes me panicky-hot.  Maybe ask your kid if fleece is a problem for him since some jackets have fleece as a built in lining that you can't remove.[/quote]
