Very nice orange-red color. Lightweight but still nice for 50 degree + weather, with layers for cooler temps. Fits my 18m, 25lb toddler (w/ a Buddha belly) very well even though a little long on sleeves. The hood is great; the zipper comes up high on the neck and keeps the hood from sliding. Of course this works great when you're running around outdoors, but not so much when sitting as it can be a little tight around the neck and face. Love this jacket.
