Review on 🧥 Columbia Boys' Zing III Fleece Jacket: High-Performance Warmth for Active Kids by Michael Tegan

Looks nicer than pictured. Was looking for a heavyweight fleece as a classic raincoat for a full 3 season raincoat suitable for my almost 3 year old to jump in puddles in 40 degree weather, but quality heavyweight fleece is hard for a toddler to a reasonable one find price. It's not a bad second option. This is a medium weight fleece, thicker than most and exactly what I expected between the photos and other reviews. Unlike many, this doesn't look like a fake. Smells a bit, fresh out of the bag as you'd expect from fabric, but I've thrown it in the wash and it's not too bad to get over yesterday's "dirty" clothes. I'll downgrade it to a 4 if the smell doesn't go away after a few washes or if it doesn't last. Fit wise reviews seem to agree with others for the real Columbia fleece, a little tight in the underarms and about a half size smaller than expected. My son wears 3-4T depending on how loose we need it or the brand. 4T tops/jackets tend to fit around his shoulders, have long sleeves and are a bit loose in the torso, but this suits him perfectly with a thin t-shirt and a thin long sleeve shirt. If it works for him I'll buy a second one but a few sizes up to make sure it fits his raincoat size.
