What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: “This little jacket is built with the same tech we love in adult outerwear—waterproofing, insulation, powder skirt—just sized down. It’s a solid choice for keeping kids warm and dry from sledding hills to their first days on skis.”The Columbia Arctic Blast II Jacket packs big performance into a small package, keeping youngsters warm, dry, and comfortable through winter adventures. A Hydra Cloth laminate sheds snow and slush while staying breathable, and Thermarator insulation delivers cozy warmth without weighing them down. Details like a silicone gripper powder skirt, insulated hood, and zippered pockets bring all the functionality of a grown-up ski jacket to a kid-friendly design. Easy on-and-off zippers make getting dressed simple, while the durable build ensures the jacket is ready for countless snow days ahead.
