I bought these for my New Zealand trip. According to my research, there will be snow during our stay so I'm hoping this will keep me warm and dry. They are super cute and fit me perfect. I am a women size 5.5/6 and ordered the size 4 big kids. The inside is soft and the outside seems sturdy. It isn't heavy at all which is another bonus. I will update you on how it is in cold/snowy weather but so far, I am in love.
