Kids Arcadia Hooded Jacket

Love the quality and style, and my daughter loves the grey shell with pink lining. I'm frustrated with the sizing though. The size chart indicates that Small was roughly an 8, so I ordered for my slightly smaller than average 8 year old. I considered going for a Medium, but the arm length was a really extreme jump between S and M. Received the coat today and the tag indicates that a S is for 7 - 8 year olds, so on the small size. It fits her okay for now, but probably won't for long. Were it not for the 3" longer sleeves in a M, I would exchange. Frustrating as I think we will quickly fall into an in between phase where Columbia sizing won't fit her.

Buy this coat you wont be disappointed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my 10 year old granddaughter’s response when she received this jacket on Easter. She loves cute, trendy clothes, and I was afraid this jacket might not be “glitzy” enough for her. But no, she was so excited about her new jacket. I was so happy I had gotten it for her.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s lightweight but keeps you warm. It is easy to pack in a bag.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lightweight jacket, perfect for a rainy Oregon beach day! Ordered red which is a darker, blue-based red/raspberry, rather than a true red. Great jacket!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We use this jacket quite often in Florida. It keeps the kids warm and dry. Makes an outstanding outer shell with a fleece underneath as a mid-layer on really cold days.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] very good quality and very good price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This jacket is perfect for the warm, tropical weather. It is light and has all the necessities to keep your little one dry while walking around the school campus. I love everything about it. Having the lining in the inside is important for the hot weather we have here. The colors are great. This is our second one since our little one lost the first one. I think we will just keep buying this jacket in different sizes :).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this Jacket for my 5 yr old. She loves the pink color and I love that it is not flimsy or thin. It’s great for rainy days!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this jacket because it said it would take a helmet. It won't. The jacket is identical in size to the rain jacket which I also bought. Both hoods are good for a bare head. The Acadia hood needs to be taller and larger in diameter so that the jacket will stay down on the shoulders when a helmet is on, and the bottom of the hood will zip up, and come up to the chin, not the eyes. Other than that, its a nice jacket. But kids are skiing with helmets these days, and the jacket needs to fit comfortably over the hood in order to keep the kid toasty in a driving snow storm, and this hood isn't close to what is needed. A hood that fits over the helmet keeps the snow out of the helmet vent holes, and keeps the cold winds from blowing down the child's neck. The rain jacket should have the small hood, the Acadia should have the large hood.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought two for my girls. Very nice jackets for warm wet weather. Will be good for spring and summer showers. Zippers and hook and loop work well, water rolls right off.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very pleased with this rain jacket for my daughter. It is a little big but she will grow into it. Nice gray color matches everything.
