Purchased this coat for my 8 year old. We love the look of this coatand it seems warm enough for winterbut it doesnt have a zipper, only snaps that he has trouble snapping himself. We are keeping itand hopefully he gets better at the snaps!
The coat is very very warm but Ive been really disappointed that it hasnt kept up with my sons energy and active pace. Weve had it less than a year and it has tears from him playing outside. The down is now falling out. Hes 5 and is no different than any other active boy his age. Its sad because Patagonia is supposed to be for active people but it ...

needs zipper to be a great coat
We had this style in previous years and it was a favorite. It's warm and versatile. This year's style ended up without a zipper and that's virtually unusable in midwest winters. Will be looking for a different style and do not recommend this.
Needs a zipper!!! Kids 10-12yo do NOT have patience to snap each individual snap closed. My 11 yo son, had time to do 1st 2 snaps, then got frstrtated because his friends took off down the hill after zipping their jackets. The colors are fantastic. Zipper please!
My boys have worn this jacket for years; past versions were warm, weather resistant, sturdy, held up through all kinds of outdoor play. This one looks the same as past versions, except that there is no zipper! Only snaps. Clearly there are no parents on your design team, Patagonia. My son put it on and immediately took it off again. He's one o... Read Moref many tweens who isn't going to bother fumbling with snaps every time he goes outdoors. We don't get it. What used to be a fabulous winter jacket is rendered unusable without its zipper!

No zipper makes this less useful
I buy this jacket every year for my son and this year it has no zipper. Its been replaced with only buttons which the previous generations also had in addition the the zipper.
The two issues I have is this:
1. Its much more difficult for a child with gloves to button up each one compared to a zipper. Its already difficult to be dexterous with ... Read Moregloves but the zipper made it fast to do. Just line up the zipper and boom done. Easy.
2. Having buttons alone allow air and wind to creep in between the gaps. Overall less warmth than previous generation.
I bought this coat for my son. I was hoping that it would be a good ski coat. It does not have a zipper and only buttons, so it would not work well as a ski coat. My son love the style, but we could not trust snaps on the ski hill.
Thanks for the review on our Bivy Down Hoody. You're correct, this jacket is not made with snow sports in mind. If you're interested in returning for a snow jacket, you're welcome to do so! You can find all the Boy's snow gear [here](https://www.patagonia.com/shop/boys-snow-gear). You could either go with the Snowshot or the Everyday Ready jacket depending on your needs. Feel free to reach out to customer service if you have any questions about this!

Super cute but...
Very stylish, but it needs a zipper in addition to the snaps. Depending on my little one's level of outdoor play (playground, climbing, etc), the snaps literally bust open as he's racing around. (He's five and active.) Would recommend for low-key outings only - but it doesn't stand up to real kid's play. Bummer!
Heads up. Cute style nice hood but there is not a zipper in this jacket! Why they wouldnt have put a zipper in it to keep it from gaping and the cold wind blowing in the gaps is beyond me
