The North Face McMurdo Down Parka - Boys'
Love This Jacket!
By jch2695012 January 19, 2009
Got this jacket for my 5 year old son after first trying the Aconcaqua. I was looking for a jacket that my son could put on and be warm enough in the winter even if he was only wearing one layer on top (he doesn't like having to layer up). This was the winner! Really well designed and constructed. Heavy, waterproof fabric, down-filled, tons of pockets to stash hats and gloves in, down filled hood that you could remove, fur trim that is removable (my son didn't want it), a cord to cinch up the bottom so the wind doesn't get in. I got the XS for my son which is plenty big, but wearable. The cord helps to ensure that the jacket isn't gaping open at the bottom while he's still growing into it. We are going through a cold snap right now (temps 0-15 degrees), and I feel comfortable sending my son out in this jacket. Highly recommend it!
