What Our Gearhead® 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™ thermal-reflective lining uses silver dots to trap body heat efficiently, while breathable fabric prevents overheating during active days. The recycled Thermarator™ 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™ 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.
