What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "This jacket is a little powerhouse-super warm, light, and made to last. The Omni-Heat lining really makes a difference on those frosty mornings, and the Thermarator insulation stays lofty even when it gets damp. I love the Outgrown system too-it means kids can wear it more than one season, which is a big win." For kids who never stop exploring, the Columbia Pike Lake Mid Jacket brings lasting warmth and comfort from trail to playground. Its Omni-Heat(TM) thermal-reflective lining uses silver dots to trap body heat efficiently, while breathable fabric prevents overheating during active days. The recycled Thermarator(TM) insulation mimics down softness and loft, keeping them cozy even when conditions turn damp. Built for real-life wear and tear, the Pike Lake features Columbia's Outgrown(TM) system that extends the sleeves as they grow, making it a favorite for multi-season use. The adjustable hood and cuffs help lock out chilly gusts, while secure pockets keep essentials close. Whether they're snowshoeing with the family or heading out for a brisk walk to school, this jacket makes every cold day feel like a new adventure.
