One of our down sweater jackets made it through FOUR kids wearing it non-stop until it finally started to whisper "Uncle!" It is possible we've lost two of these jackets (or they've "wandered away" because other folks think they are amazing, too.) My son is an active guy and he adores these jackets. They are quite warm... Read More, but perfectly comfortable. They are thick enough to feel luxe and cozy, but not so bulky they are annoying. He even wears it as his main skiing jacket when the temps aren't below 20. It washes beautifully.
And I appreciate the recycled down, and all good things you get when you purchase Patagonia. This one is a winner... buy it in a neutral color and hand it down, hand it down, hand it down...
This coat is super for layering and keeps my 11 year old son warm on his way to school or when hes running around. We bought the navy blue with contrasting red zipper (super cute!). For his 9 year old brother we bought the lighter blue. He loves the jacket too!!!
Our family purchased two of these Down Sweaters. One shedded feathers on first weeks of wear. The others ones pocket seams opened after few weeks of wear. Now my daughter has pockets with holes in them. We invested in Patagonia items hoping for quality.
Hello Laura, we're truly sorry that both Down Sweaters are not holding up. We'd recommend pulling the feathers back in from the opposite side of the fabric and then massage the fibers back together, essentially sealing the hole back up. If this isn't working, please feel free to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) it under warranty along with the other jacket.

Great and durable kids coat
Fits great for my 5 year old, keeps him super warm, looks sharp and is super durable.
Purchased this jacket for my almost 11 year old son. I purchased a size 12 and it was a little bigger than I like, but hopefully with a sweater it should be fine. He has time to grow into it. I also wanted a jacket that he can pack in his backpack in case he isn't able to use a locker due to Covid-19. The down sweater jacket can easily squeeze... Read More into a backpack.
I ordered this coat for my 12 year old son he has had the coat for about 4 months and loves it. However the zipper broke last week and I noticed a bunch of tiny holes down the seems of both arms with feathers popping out. I fixed the zipper the best I could but its still not the same, it gets stuck and Im afraid it is going to rip. Plus its just a ... Read Moretiny string hes using as the zipper. As for the tiny holes thats disappointing because hes only had the coat for 4 months and i dont believe this shouldve happened. Im just all around upset with the outcome of this order and I love your brand and wear your coats and gear so its really heartbreaking for this to happen!
Hi Kathleen, we're so sorry to hear that this has happened to your son's Down Sweater Jacket. We'd be more than happy to return or exchange the jacket under our Ironclad Guarantee. You can begin your warranty return here, https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html.

Great jacket
Really nice and cosy jacket. Perfect for an active jacket
This little jacket is warm, lightweight and comfortable. It feels good quality, the zip is good and I would warmly recommend it. My son is average for his six years and wears an XS.
The jacket fits my 12 year old perfectly and has a little room for growing. The color is beautiful and just the perfect jacket for running around and going outside to play.
Great jacket for wearing no matter the event. My little guy has had one for two years and whether we’re going fishing or out for dinner it does the job. It takes a kid’s beating and cleans up well.
Great jacket and love Patagonia products. My son is age 12 and 5ft 2. The jacket fits his height and shoulders well, but it is a bit too roomy around the waist. I feel like it was designed for the chunkier kids. Also, ideally the arms would be a little longer.
I am 5’11” 215 LBS with 35” waist. All my jacket is in Large. I wear it with tee shirt. This jacket is tiny bite larger than regular large, meaning there is room for shirt and sweater.No big deal it fits good.
Only complain I have is that I wish there are two buttons on the sleeve.
700 down fills are no joke. I feel very comfortable at low 40 wit... Read Moreh wind.
If you compare price of this jacket with regular 700 down fills jacket. This one is cheaper. Other than that, I think this is very good-looking jacket. I will purchase one more with different color.
This is the second Boys Down Sweater for my 5 year old (he. Out few his previous one). I love how light and compact it is but also warm- he wears this as his winter jacket for the whole season in the northeast. His previous jacket had a few feathers that have come out, but has held up pretty well for the past 2 years and is in good shape for his yo... Read Moreunger brother to wear this year.
I originally bought the Boys XS, but ended up exchanging for the 5T because it was too long. The 5T (his normal size) still has some room to wear a sweatshirt or fleece underneath if needed.
This will be a repeat buy for the next size up when needed!
My 11 year old is very particular about his clothes and would prefer a sweatshirt over a jacket most days. Here in CO that doesn't necessarily work with the cold and snowy winters. We bought him this jacket and he has worn it every day since. It keeps him warm and is very comfortable.
My son has been wearing Down Sweaters since he was 6 months old. They are warm and indestructible. He wears his for everything... skiing, biking, sledding, and all other outdoor activities. Best jacket ever!
Ideal for an "in between" coat (i.e. no snow on the ground, but cold, wet, windy) which is most of the time from September-April here in Portland, OR. Super lightweight. We stuff it in a backpack often, just to have an extra layer on hand. Great easy layer! Just wish it had a hood.
Warm yet lightweight and non-restricting. This is our second coat for our now 5 year-old. He loves it and has full range of motion while wearing it, which keeps him from begging to take it off.
I never write a review. But this jacket is so fantastic I had to take the time and let others know.
I will always buy this jacket as my son grows,
True to size.
Love these jackets, they are light weight, soft, comfy yet still warm. The boys love them because they are not bulking, & heavy. Bought these for a youth hockey team
Living in New York, this coat is my son’s favorite. We have had this coat in many sizes, passed down from older brother to younger brother. Both boys live in their down sweaters and wear them exclusively, up until bitter cold temps hit. Preferred over sweatshirts, they wear it all fall, through winter, and in early spring.
This is the 5th one my boys own. Great for the fall and spring. If it gets too warm, they can stuff it in their backpack. Good for school, going to sports and out to dinner.
I personally live in my down sweater, for many months of every year. I'm pretty sure my co-workers think I wear the same clothes every day because I never take my jacket off. So when it comes to my kids, they also get to revel in the glorious warmth that are these jackets. My kids loves these jackets. My kids are hard on their clothes, but eve... Read Moren when they grow out of these jackets there is usually still some life left in them, and I love getting to pass them onto others.
Our boys continue to work their ways into and pass down their down goods. Whether it a little down vest day, a cold down coat night...or a freezing hi-loft MN winter...we always reach for our Patagonia down. During this last sale, we did find ourselves shorted our latest sized down copper coat (bummer), but Patagonia did apologize and offered to ma...

Got to say that this item rocks. My 10 year old son has had his for two years now and strangely- (even though he's gotten taller and thicker) the puffy still seems to fit!....... all be it a little higher and tighter ;). But he's never complained about the fit OR being cold so I'm stoked. He got the camo color when that was available... Read More which was killer cause it hides lots of stained. Well, in a way its even MORE camouflaged now! haha You wont regret having one of these.
My boys and I love everything about this jacket except that it is lacking a hood. They are constantly losing their hats and it’d be nice to be able to throw on a hood when needed. I know there is a similar boys down jacket that’s reversible (AWESOME) and has a hood (MORE AWESOME) but the colors options arent my favorite. I’d love THIS jacket with t...
