Built with a water resistant ripstop body and recycled polyester fill, this jacket balances weather resistance, softness, and easy wear. Parents will appreciate the attached hood and front-zip pockets that keep hands warm, while children get a comfortable, quilted jacket with a colorblock look that stays cozy in cold conditions.
