And they are handy because the inside can be worn in the spring or fall, the outside can be worn in early winter (and is usually waterproof) and they can be worn together in the Polar Vortex. My kids love them and have never been cold in them. There are a lot of other, less well known brands doing similar styles now, too, though I don't know the quality of those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polar-vortex-folks-best-kids-jackets#post-1160842 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 02:39:36 +0000 pastrygirl 1160842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lands End, and they are on clearance now.

You will need good coats for NY but if you are going upstate NY that is much colder than downstate, even in this freezing weather that has hit the East Coast.<br /> Get the kids some waterproof and extra warm gloves as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polar-vortex-folks-best-kids-jackets#post-1160709 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 23:52:47 +0000 Suz 1160709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My daughter runs warm, but she does really really well in the Land's End 3 in 1 type coats. Not even down, but super for her. Should be on sale now.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polar-vortex-folks-best-kids-jackets#post-1160679 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 23:22:37 +0000 lisaflex 1160679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ll bean or lands end. both are awesome!</p> <p></p> <p>the 3 tiered parka is great as they can pull it apart and wear each piece separately! raincoat, fleece, all works!</p> <p></p> <p>and they are all on sale now so go for it! just find a color (if you can) they like and jump on it!! I always buy one in the next size up for the net year when they are on sale. great buys and both wear and wash really well!! and are warm. </p> <p></p> <p>dd has skied NY (not to vail though) in them both and we have never had an issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polar-vortex-folks-best-kids-jackets#post-1160570 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 21:19:26 +0000 Kristin SF 1160570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone!

I'm also a fan of Columbia 3-in-1 coats.</p> <p>If this is a temporary need, though, what about layering a heavy outdoor fleece underneath your down sweaters? That might save you some money and aggravation from finding a winter coat at the last minute and would still be warm.&nbsp; </p> <p>This is the&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://http//www.zappos.com/columbia-kids-benton-springs-fleece-little-kids-big-kids-bright-rose">Columbia fleece</a>&nbsp;we like. I've noticed the thickness sometimes depends on the color you get, which is a little irritating, but DS wears his until it dips below 40 degrees. Between that and the Patagonia, you might be covered.</p> <p>You also might try an REI outlet, which often&nbsp;carries amazing deals on kids' outerwear.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polar-vortex-folks-best-kids-jackets#post-1160425 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 19:03:21 +0000 Kristin SF 1160425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We're visiting the family in NY next week, and I just realized we have no warm jackets for the kids. They currently wear Patagonia down "sweaters", which is just fine for Northern California. But not for the polar vortex! </p> <p>If you're surviving arctic temps this winter, what are your kids wearing and liking?</p> <p>I was thinking about this 3-in-1 parka from Bean but wasn't sure about the warmth, though the web site says warm to -5 degrees. <br /><a href="http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/74141?feat=512117-GN2&amp;page=girls-wildcat-3-in-1-parka" rel="nofollow">http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop.....in-1-parka</a></p> <p>Thanks! </p>
