Deceiving photo
I purchased this coat for my 11 yr old son who does not like to wear the bulky jacket to school, so I thought this would be a good coat for running in and out of school or the store. When I looked at the coat on line, the picture they showed looked as if there was a double collar on the hood, there is not. Also it is much thinner than I thought, but time will tell if the 100% fleece stands up to its name and keeps him warm.

Please consider using Polartec fleece
My son hasn't worn this jacket yet because while his old LL Bean size 10/12 is almost too small, this jacket in size 14/16 is a bit big, so we'll wait for him to grow into it. It seems nicely made and the hood fits well, but I can't fully review it until he wears it.
My one wish right out of the bag, though, is that it was made with Polartec fleece; the fleece it's made with feels thinner and more polyester-ish. I know it would be more expensive with Polartec, but it's hands down the best fleece on the market and I'd be willing to pay extra for it.
