My 8yr old son is tall for his age and loves a good romp in the snow. Snow pants were soaking through and too short and we were desperate for anything in his size that could stand up to the amount of abuse a kid can dish out. Enter "Deadliest Catch" (that's what we're calling these) in Men's Small. They are still big on him, but with the straps at their snuggest and bottoms hemmed up with tape, wearing over his snow coat and thick fleece pants, it was a Big Win! The envy of all on the town sledding hill. After a full afternoon of doing what kids do in wet snow he happily announced he was still dry! I'm happy he loves them and it's something he can grow into. Thanks Amazon for the tremendous deal, we could not afford these at regular price but they are totally worth it.
