Description of Columbia Bugaboo Parka - Little Boys':
The Columbia Boy's Bugaboo Parka's removable fleece liner and waterproof shell combo lets your kid adjust insulation to meet any winter occasion from skiing, to sledding, to waiting for the bus. A fully seam-taped, waterproof breathable nylon shell protects against winter snowstorms and spring downpours. Zip the included fleece liner into the Bugaboo Parka for warmth in dead-of-the-winter cold, or he can wear the liner alone during chilly summer nights. The Bugaboo Parka's tuck-away hood makes its appearance when the wind picks up and the snow starts to fall.
Bottom Line: The three-in-one Columbia Bugaboo Parka adjusts to keep you boy dry, warm, and comfortable regardless of the weather.
Granted, I haven't tried this in the dead of winter, but for everything from cold weather to the warm spring rain, this jacket is great. The waterproofing is fantastic. I just wish Columbia made a jacket in this size range with this level of waterproofing and a inner-layer that was more than just a fleece. Other than that, great.
Price was fantastic too.
I bought this jacket for my grandson (age3) and it thrilled my daughter. It is warm, comfortable, & stylish
with enough room to grow. He wears the inner layer for times when it is not sooooo cold. It's a great jacket!
