Columbia Boulder Falls Jacket - Kids' Black, XL

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I picked this up for my kid before a family trip to the Pacific Northwest where we knew rain was basically guaranteed every day. The Omni-Tech Eco construction kept them completely dry through some genuinely soggy afternoons, and the underarm venting meant they never overheated when the pace picked up on the trail.""Kids have a way of not noticing the weather until it is already ruining the day, and the Columbia Boulder Falls Jacket is built around that reality. When the clouds roll in and the trail gets wet, the Omni-Tech Eco construction handles it quietly in the background, using a waterproof breathable multilayer build made with 100% recycled fabric and a membrane derived from at least 25% plant-based materials including coffee grounds, so young hikers stay dry without the adventure losing momentum. Mesh lining and underarm venting keep airflow moving when the pace picks up, and the adjustable hood cinches at the back to move naturally with every head turn without blocking sightlines. A droptail hem adds coverage where it counts, the chin guard keeps the zipper from chafing on long days, and adjustable cuffs dial in the fit as they grow. This is the jacket that stays in the pack until it is suddenly the most important thing they brought."
