Our review of The Children's Place boys Medium Weight Puffer Jacket finds it to be a dependable everyday winter layer for kids who need warmth without bulk. The single biggest reason to buy is its balance of insulation and light weight: the jacket keeps children comfortable on cool to mildly cold days while remaining easy to wear and move in.

• Full zip closure: A full length zipper makes it simple for kids to put the jacket on and take it off independently.
• Practical fit details: Side seam pockets and elasticized sleeve cuffs and hem help seal in warmth and provide places to keep hands warm.

Who It's For
