Columbia Essential Hike Grid Fleece Full-Zip Jacket - Kids' Everblue, XL

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I grabbed the Columbia Essential Hike Grid Fleece Full-Zip Jacket for my kid as a go-everywhere layer and it has lived up to that completely. The grid fleece is light enough that they actually wear it without complaining, and the stretch binding at the collar and cuffs keeps it comfortable through the kind of active, unpredictable days that test gear more than any trail ever will.""The best kids' layers are the ones they reach for without being asked, and the Columbia Essential Hike Grid Fleece Full-Zip Jacket tends to earn that status fast. The grid-texture recycled fleece is lightweight enough to wear all day without feeling bulky, breathable enough to handle an active pace on the trail, and quick-drying enough to recover fast when things get a little sweaty or damp along the way. Omni-Wick keeps moisture moving away from the skin during the high-energy stretches, and stretch binding at the collar and cuffs seals out drafts without restricting movement when the adventure requires climbing, scrambling, or sprinting ahead on the trail. A zippered chest pocket and hand pockets handle the small treasures and essentials that accumulate on any good outdoor day. Built from 100% recycled polyester, it is a fleece that does right by the places they are out there exploring."
