The North Face Denali Full-Zip Fleece Hoodie

I LOVE this jacket. I ordered a size 10-12 for my 10-year-old and a size 14-16 for my 13-year-old. My older son is on the small side. This jacket fits him fine, with a little room to grow. He'll probably be able to wear it next year, when he's 14, too. My younger son is in the 70th %tile for height and weight. The size 10-12 fits him perfectly now, but I think it will be too small next year. At $116.00 this is distressing! I wish I had also ordered him a size 14-16; I think it would have been fine. I feel this jacket runs true to the smaller size listed (so a 10-12 is more like a 10 and a 14-16 is more like a 14.) My boys both wanted black, so I bought 2 blacks, but I LOVE the colors that are available! This jacket is warm and lightweight - my kids think it is soft and cozy. It's slightly water repellent, so it's good for being out at recess in a drizzle. A pouring/soaking rain is no match for this jacket, but it wasn't designed for that. This is a great jacket for fall hikes and other outdoor activities. It will also be great for skiing on those warm/sunny ski days when you tend to get too hot in a parka. I think it's definitely worth the money, but at this price you might consider ordering up a size.

I bought this jacket for my 10-yr old nephew this Christmas. He LOVES his jacket! He normally wears a 10/12, however I ordered the large. It fit him perfectly with a slight bit of growing room. I doubt he will be able to wear next winter if he has more than one significant growth spurt. I'll order the XL next time, so he will definitely be able to wear it next winter. They are well worth the money but too expensive to only get one season out of it. He says its very warm and seems to be quite comfortable as he goes about doing his usual boy activities. It appears very well made. We haven't washed it yet, so hopefully it will hold up well. No doubt, he thinks he's pretty cool sporting around in it.

The perfect jacket for my 12-year old son, in the colors he wanted. Bought the XL and there's room to spare. This item was in- stock, tax-free, and came with free two-day shipping before Christmas. I'm impressed all the way around! (I would order up a size so there is room for layering as well as room to grow.)
