All-weather coat on my mind

I bought this size 13 coat for my son who just turned 12 and needed a basic school coat. Size wise my son is skinny and 5ft tall but wears a sweater and blazer which obviously weighs him down a bit! So the inner fleece in full school uniforms is a bit cozy (but not more "normal"), while the waterproof outer layer in full school uniforms is ideal and should last a full year of growth, if not a little more. The main benefit of this coat is that it is truly waterproof and has withstood the rain (not just a brief shower). Another benefit is the options it offers. Rainy day but not cold? Then simply peel off the fleece! I think most people will say it's not a "winter" coat unless it's going to be worn full (with fleece) and a sweater is probably needed anyway. So as long as the buyer doesn't expect it to be a "winter" coat with super soft lining and padding, I don't think they will be disappointed with the coat's quality and value. Unfortunately, my son managed to lose his coat after a few months in middle school, but as a sign of how happy he was with it, he asked for a similar coat as a replacement. Both coats purchased were the same, good quality, no complaints.

Pros
  • The fabric is water-repellent, the jacket has a very nice thin cut. Universal school jacket.
Cons
  • Poor insulation so unsuitable for colder weather.
