Review on Stylish and Warm: Pacific Trails Bubble Jacket for Boys - Size 20 by Christopher Bates

My son is 8 years old, size 10. I bought a medium sized down jacket from Pacific Trails and it fits him well. The length goes beyond the floor. It's light, feels like a feather, and the lining is thin. I would like something more powerful; but my son likes it, maybe because it doesn't seem too bulky. This is normal for mild Southern California winters. I'm not sure what I would like if we lived in an area that got snow. The outer nylon feels flimsy and I'm not sure it will stand up to rough play. Luckily my son doesn't wallow in the mud. It was raining and my son wore it to school. He says the jacket is waterproof and I have to say he didn't come home soaked so it must be rainproof. PROS: + lightweight + son finds it attractive + lined + hooded + waterproof CONS: - not heavy enough for harsh weather conditions - very thin nylon lining feels too brittle for rough play
