Great jacket for the little ones
My son loves this jacket to bits. He wants to wear it even when its not raining. Its a great jacket to stash in the car or diaper bag just in case it starts to rain. The sizing is quite accurate for todlers.

awesome
I bought this for my daughter, Katie, who is between a 2T and 3T. We have an REI down jacket in 2T for her and needed something for the snow and wind to go over the down. We figured she would be too big for the down jacket just in time to be big enough to wear this alone when it warms up a little. We live in Wyoming, so rain won't be a big problem...but the wind is killer on the high plains, and it is working excellent in Germany right now which has lots of snow and is pretty darn cold (a visit to the grandparents).As always, REI products are top notch and inexpensive. A week after buying it Katie was rolling in the snow at my parents' house for Christmas. The down underneath stayed dry and she stayed warm. (ok she had bib overalls on underneath so the snow couldn't run up the coat.)The sleeves have good velcro on them to tighten the cuffs around gloves and mittens. It seems to be pretty durable for a pack-l

NOT waterproof
Our 19 month old son wore this on a 3 hour snowshoeing trip. It was snowing lightly and he was in a backpack. The coat didn't repel water at all. It soaked it up and began to get the down suit he was wearing underneath damp too. His rain pants, whihc were from Columbia, worked perfectly. Needless to say, a wet, cold toddler is not fun for anyone. Very disappointed that this product was not waterproof as advertised. We've come to expect more from REI products.

Perfect spring jacket
This is the perfect spring rain jacket. It looks great and is highly functional. It's a perfect jacket for hiking, a day at the park or just a quick trip in the stroller. My son loves wearing it and even asks to wear it inside!
