[QUOTE="SRL, post: 104400, member: 701"] Oh, trust me I understand!!! Those little things are HUGE around here. My kiddo is in 5th grade and hasn't worn a winter coat since kindergarten. I don't care that he just wants to wear layers of sweatshirts and fleece, but on really cold days it's never seemed warm enough. Wonder of wonders, last year we were in a sporting goods shop and he called me over, pointed at a men's winter jacket and said "THIS is what I want." I tracked it down in kid's sizes a few weeks ago--it's a neoprene kind of feel for the outer shell and I got the heavy fleece to wear under that. Cost an arm and a leg but he's gone 5 years without wearing a winter coat and it's been well worth it since it hasn't caused him a single problem. Here's the coat--in case anyone's interested: [url="http://www.thenorthface.com/opencms/opencms/tnf/gear.jsp?site=NA&model=AX0W&Difficult Child=60U,84F,002,128"]http://www.thenorthface.com/opencms/opencms/tnf/gear.jsp?site=NA&model=AX0W&Difficult Child=60U,84F,002,128[/url] Enjoy the success, they mean a lot!
