Review on πŸ§₯ Arctix Youth Insulated X Large Boys' Clothing for Dance Jackets & Coats by Brent Porter

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Acceptable low-cost alternative with expected compromises

We used to have Obermeyer one piece snowsuits that were growing up and couldn't find Obermeyer anymore so we looked for alternatives and decided to try this one based on reviews and Price. The suit is warm, waterproof enough for the snow and inexpensive. It works acceptably for us and has some trade-offs to consider. Hopefully they will hold up with use and not get punctured on the outside as others have noted. Tailoring is not the best quality. See attached photo straight out of the box. The zippers are ok but get caught in the fabric more than the best suits. The Velcro fastener, which is not needed next to the zipper in better suits, also has two problems. First, the barbed side faces the baby's chin and can be irritating. Second, it makes the suit difficult to put on and take off. See attached photo. The best designed suits grow with your child to last longer thanks to the ability to extend legs and arms. not a fabric so it should be a waterproofing spray to apply if waterproofing is required in your area. If we don't find any top brands next year we will be buying them again, although I would inspect the stitching more thoroughly before storing the next ones.
