my 10 yr old son was so happy!! he thinks hes so cool, so a happy son means a good rating!!
We purchased this jacket and the matching pants for use before and after swim practice and meets for our 8-yr old daughter. She needed something that was easy to get on and off, particularly back on when she was still slightly wet/damp, and this doesn't exactly fit that bill. The inner liner of the sleeve seems to get stuck and really frustrates her. It's made of a nice quality weight, maybe a little stiff feeling, but a good weight for use in NC winter (fairly mild, but sometimes cold). We like it, but would perhaps look at the description of the next price range up from this one to see what the sleeves (and legs of the pants if you're ordering those, too) are like. Otherwise, it's very nice and is true to size, worth the price.
