What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I picked this up for my niece for cool fall afternoons at the park, and the oversized pockets became her favorite spot for rocks and leaves. It layered easily over a onesie without ever feeling stiff or bulky."Fall afternoons rarely stay one temperature for long, and the Shearling Jacket exists for exactly that kind of shifting weather, warm enough for a chilly morning and light enough to shed by noon. Patagonia builds it from soft recycled shearling fleece with a jersey back, so it layers easily over whatever's already on without adding bulk. The open collar and internal wind flap keep drafts out at the neck, while the oversized patch pockets give small hands somewhere to stash treasures collected along the way. The details are built for real wear and tear, too. Soft binding runs along the collar, front, hem, and sleeve openings to keep everything comfortable against skin, and the hang-it-down label means this jacket has a life ahead of it beyond just one kid. It's the kind of piece that gets grabbed constantly during the transitional months.
