Purchased two of these jackets, a medium for a 10 year old (100 lbs, built like a small tank), a small for his 7 year old brother and they both fit very well without any hint of compromise.

Cut is such that the jacket hangs well below the waistline, which is what one expects in a real winter jacket.

Construction is solid, double zipped front with a velco closure over the outer zipper.  Nice, non-removable, liner with good closure on the cuffs.  Plenty of pockets.

These are exactly the type of jackets you furnish to kids to go outside and play in, without concern as to their warmth or them damaging the jacket.

Update:  After almost two months of constant use these jackets are still holding up well.  We're talking being subjected to the tortures of jammed into lockers, dragged around, stepped on, kicked in the corner and used as an impromptu sled for a five year old sister.

Update:  Halfway through a seoncd winter with these jackets (sized them a little big for year one) and they're still holding up very well.
