The Rogue Jacket by Mountain Sprouts is a great purchase.  My daughter fell in love with it the minute she saw the color (gumdrop), and it is incredibly comfortable, practical, and versatile.  So many technical outdoor clothes for children look bulky and old fashioned.  This coat is fashionable and well made.  We have used this coat at different times as a rain coat, wind breaker and warm layer.  Mountain Sprouts really has the well being of parents and children in mind.  The coat has integrated mittens at the end of the sleeves. This is a great added touch that could prove a saving grace in a number of different scenarios: being caught in unexpected weather, losing a mitt, enveloping the hands of a sleeping child on a long cold hike, or covering a child’s hands in a tent while they sleep at night.  In this coat it seems that Cora always seems protected from the elements.  The coat seems a little big for Cora (but she’s not a big child), and it got stained early on, but it still works and we can use it for at least a year longer.  It is made of weather resistant Polartec softshell and comes with a multi-generational guarantee.  This coat can be purchased for $98.  I think it is a good buy for you money since the coat is so versatile.  I would buy myself this exact coat if it was made in my size.

As a great FYI the Polartec used in this coat is named :eco engineering; Meaning it has at least 50 percent recycled content.  This is another reason to put your money towards companies that support the planet.
