What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I picked up the Columbia Rainy Trails III Fleece Lined Jacket for my kid before a trip to the Pacific Northwest where rain was basically guaranteed every day, and the microfleece lining made a real difference over a long day outside. Most rain jackets keep kids dry but leave them cold, and this one solved both problems without adding any noticeable bulk."A rain jacket that just keeps kids dry is doing the minimum. The Columbia Rainy Trails III Fleece Lined Jacket goes further, adding a microfleece lining that turns a wet-weather shell into a genuinely warm layer for the kind of cool, damp days that make up a solid chunk of the outdoor calendar. Omni-Tech critically seam-sealed waterproof breathable construction keeps moisture out through the essential seams, while the recycled polyester shell handles the rain without weighing the jacket down. The adjustable hood cinches at the back to move naturally with every head turn, keeping sightlines clear on the trail without constant readjusting. Elastic cuffs seal out drafts at the wrist, a chin guard keeps the zipper away from skin on full zip-up, and reflective details add visibility when the sky stays grey well into the afternoon. Zippered hand pockets keep small essentials secure, and the whole jacket is built from recycled materials to match the wild places it will spend most of its time.
