Columbia Boy's Bugaboo Interchange Jacket

The shell is perfect for cold fall days or rainy spring days, Insert the super soft and comfy fleece sweater and it is perfect for winter in western New York. I went to The Bonton at our mall and they were almost double the price of amazon. So I played it safe and tested sizes there, my 5 year old son is in 6-7 clothes and the extra small fit perfectly with the liner in and a little baggy without. In my opinion its win win, great multi season coat for around $70-$85. My only advice would be to double check coat sizes , Columbia runs a little bigger in size then other coats I've purchased for him.

For the price, this is a great jacket, especially for the brand. I ordered this for my average size 4 year old who is in 4-5t clothes. He weighs about 40 lbs. The jacket overall is a bit big but I am okay with that. Room to grow! However, the neck of the jacket is so, so small in comparison. The inner fleece jacket barely zips up all the way and when it does, it annoys my son. It's pretty much the same deal with the exterior as well. That being said, I chose not to return it because we liked all the other aspects of it.We have washed and dried the inner fleece jacket (albeit on low heat for only 15 min then hung up) and it washed up nicely. I like that it's two pieces and we can put them on independently of each other but my main reason for purchasing this was so that we could take the exterior off while in his car seat and he would still have the fleece on and be warm.I think if they fixed the neck issue, this would be a great jacket. The colors are nice too.

The quality of workmanship and style are fantastic. For a five year old going on six finding a "rain coat", "fall coat", "slicker" without cartoons emblazed all over them or in day glow colors is impossible. We wanted something that would protect our child in the weather and last a couple seasons. This Jacket actually has a built in system which allows you to extend the sleeves a couple inches. We expect this coat to last a long time. Here is a tip: The actual size chart if you find it can be slightly deceptive. I read as many reviews as possible and managed to determine the size we needed. Our son is slight of build, 42 inches tall. The small is ever so slightly big on him but if he is wearing other clothing it fits perfectly.

This is exactly the kind of jacket I wanted for my son. The outer part is water resistant and fairly thick. Then, there is the additionaly snap-in fleece jacket. The jackets can be worn individually or together as a system. We live in Texas, where, thankfully, we have mild winters. This shoudl serve him well. I got the XX-small and it is only slightly large on my son, who is 90% for height and is just starting to fit 4T clothes. It was also a fantastic deal.

My 8 yo son loves the colors, the versatility and the warmth it provided (30 degrees and above). Bought it one size up so he can wear it for 2 seasons - very roomy. The length is on the longer side which I think is great for warmth and isn't restrictive for snow activity. I was a little concerned that since it is a thin coat that it wouldn't keep him warm but I was wrong. Very happy with this coat!

This jacket is perfect, we don't have much of a winter but my boy is off to camp in 2014 and it will be much colder than where we live. This jacket is so versatile with the multi layers and buy it on the big size as the sleeves have pull in wrist straps so you can have it a little longer to keep their back warm and get a good 2-3 years out of it just what I wanted I bought the same for my daughter in purple she was very happy.

Purchased for my 11 yr old. The medium fit his build well, with room to grow and still not looking oversized. He says it's very warm when the liner is in (not unusual for us to be waiting for the bus with temps in the teens). On warmer days, the zip-out lining makes for a comfortable fleece to take the chill out of the air. The quality is what you would expect from Columbia. Fit and finish are excellent.

I've been searching for a warm, water resistant jacket for my son and found this one. I like that it has the inner jacket that he can wear alone or together to stay warm. I love the way this jacket looks on him...very stylish! He's 4.5 so it's a little bit, but I just put a cuff in the sleeve and it's good to go. He'll be able to grow into it and have it for at least another season!!
