Review on Columbia Mighty Lite Jacket X Large Boys' Clothing ~ Jackets & Coats by Tyler Kota

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Please read the size guidelines carefully.

This jacket is exactly what I expected in terms of weight and warmth. The graphite color is a bit darker in reality than on my screen, which I like. The green flash is a nice touch. The lining around the collar and in the pockets is very, very soft and fluffy and my son was very happy with it. The sizing was a bit of an issue for us because I read a review somewhere, maybe on the brand's website, that said this jacket runs small. It's not small, I would say it's very true to size, or maybe a little big. My son is almost 12 and 84 pounds but the large jacket was huge for him so we are returning it and getting the medium one. This jacket can be worn alone to and from school on most winter days, roaming around the garden or worn under a ski jacket as an overlay for snow play or ski days. Update: I ordered a medium size and it fits great. My son is slim and I would say the jacket fits a bit around his waist. (The large size looked like he was wearing someone else's jacket, not the small capacity to grow into). He wore it to school and says he kept it warm on a 30-degree day. He's not super fat or chubby. Exactly the style we were looking for.
