We love Marmot products. So when my son needed a new winter jacket I looked into this and other models. This one was the best for us - super warm and super light. Has a hood that keeps your head warm too. Fits true to size and it's durable. Only downside the zipper tongue is too small for little hands. North Face zippers tend to be bigger and stronger.

I always read reviews but never write them. I am writing one here to tell you to just buy this coat. It's lightweight but really warm. It's way nicer on than in the picture. Simple classic style. The hood stays up, offers some face protection from the cold and has a zipper garage (just learned that term!). Bottom is adjustable to keep cold air from coming in, and also to make the coat more fitted so you can get a few years out of it which I plan to do. It was a little pricey but I think well worth it. I bought the black and he feels like a ninja! I think it's true to size.

I bought this for my son when he was 3yo size S4/5, and was good for 2 years, now I bought another one for next year, this is the perfect jacket for kids: light, warm, and looks very well. I dry cleaned it few times, then I just washed it cold water, and put it in the dryer;it is in perfect condition;just buy it, no regrets.
