Review on ❄️ Insulated Windproof Boys' Snowboarding Apparel by PUREMSX - Perfect Alternative for Extreme Cold Weather by Daniel Russell

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good quality, small defects

Overall the coat is more than satisfactory for the price. There are others at a lower price but this quality was good and there are a few positives that set it apart from others I've tried. The pockets are large and the button closures make it easy to use with gloves. The zip flap, a nice addition for warmth, also snaps into place. (Many inexpensive styles don't have zips or use awkward buttons all over them—looks nice but impractical with gloves on.) This coat is heavily padded and therefore heavier. And yes, as others have pointed out, the hood is definitely large, but it's also more comfortable when wearing a hat, so not bad. Finally the ordered size M fits well (6 feet), at the same time the sleeves should be long enough for the knitted cuff to rest on the wrist and not the forearm. It was loose at the bust and waist for layering and has a drawcord on the inside for a tie closure. If you're looking in the $100-$130 range, I'd say this coat has enough value to justify it over $70-$99. ; they aren't bad either, but they seem to be missing some details. However, this coat that I received still had the detachable faux fur trim dangling from one end. It is foldable and has an elastic loop for button attachment. A "problematic" loop seemed stretched and wouldn't stay in place. The tucked-in fur has a hard underside that wanted to unbutton, which made it easy to untie the loop. Another problem is the left zipper (on a man's coat!). I don't insist on dexterity, but it takes concentration to zip that up—I couldn't take it, after all. For a higher price, small details become more important. I decided to return it. The return in nearby Kola went smoothly. For a higher price, small details become more important.
