What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I picked this up for my daughter for a rainy weekend at the coast, and it kept her completely dry through hours of puddle jumping. The zippered pockets turned out to be the real win, she filled them with shells and rocks without a single one falling out."Rain rarely slows a kid down, and the Altbound Jacket from Columbia is built to keep up with the puddle jumping, treasure hunting version of a rainy day instead of cutting it short. It's the jacket that turns a soggy forecast into an excuse to stay outside longer. Omni-Tech keeps every seam sealed against the wet, with a membrane built using recycled coffee ground material, while the mesh lining lets heat escape during all that running around. Zippered hand pockets and a chest pocket hold onto small finds, the adjustable hood turns with a curious head in every direction, and the droptail hem adds coverage right where a kid tends to sit down in the mud.
