Versatile rain shell we keep rebuying
We live in the Pacific Northwest with rain 9 months out of the year. I re-buy this same jacket in a bigger size every time my kiddo grows out of it. It is a shell rain jacket, meaning there is no warmth to it intentionally so it’s wearable most of the year. In the spring, it’s great because it’s light enough just to keep you dry with an t-shirt under but in the winter you need to wear a fleece underneath it (which we also get from Columbia and matching rain-pants). That said, he wears this rain jacket the most both with and without layers but then when it’s extremely cold or snowy we have a significantly thicker, puffy style water-resistant jacket. I always purchase it a little bit bigger so he has room to grow and to accommodate layers underneath. It runs a little long, which is amazing because it covers his rain pants quite a bit so doesn’t allow him to get soaked between those layers. We are partial to two piece rain suits now rather than the all in one pieces (we used when he was much younger) because it’s easier for him to quickly go to the restroom when needed by just pulling the pants part down instead of entirely getting out of the top and bottom part of a suit. Measurements are: Weight: 35.5 lbs Shoulder to fingertip: 17 inches Base of neck to lower back: 12 inches Across chest and shoulder: 10 inches This is an XXS/size 4-5, *which is different/bigger than their toddler size 4*.
