Review on ๐Ÿงฅ Columbia Boys' Powder Lite Hooded Jacket: Optimal warmth and style for active youngsters by Jerry Mangum

Revainrating 5 out of 5

An all temperature liner is a great addition to this jacket

I'm so glad Columbia added an all penetrating lightweight powder liner to this jacket this year! My son hates heavy coats and always fights back when I try to get him to carry something heavy. We have been using the Columbia Tree Time down jacket for a few years, which was light enough for my son but not warm enough for temperatures below 30ยฐ. The new down jacket is lightweight and lightweight, and warm enough. Last winter I bought one with omnidirectional heat and only had to layer it under 20ยฐ. It is very hot. I'm a little disappointed that there isn't an all-over lining on the arms. Hopefully it won't affect the heat. The hood is nice and low and you can tighten the bottom hem to keep the cold out with drawstrings in the pockets. I used Columbia's size chart to determine sizing. My son is 8 years old, small for his age. I measured his chest at 26 inches. The small size fits perfectly and unless we have a major growth spurt next year should fit. Overall my son loves it and it keeps him warm. I always feel like I make good profits with Colombia. I wouldn't want to spend a fortune on something they've only been wearing for a few years. We may have found our favorite winter coat. I always feel like I make good profits with Colombia. I wouldn't want to spend a fortune on something they've only been wearing for a few years.
