As one of the reviewers mentioned, it is not Polartec, so you won't be getting the super-warm fleece jacket (if you want the warmth of Polartec, you can choose LLB fleece-lined flannel shirts for kids or the famous fleece-lined hoodies). Knowing that, it is by itself a good well-made light-to-medium-warmth fleece hooded jacket. Generously-sized, long in the body, with a good quality zipper and a nice assortment of colors to choose from. The lightness of fleece allows it to be also used as a layering piece underneath a jacket.
This is our 3rd or 4th jacket depending on which of my kids are getting them. :) Great quality. They didn't use Polartec fleece but you really can't tell the difference. They do run a little big. My daughter is 5 and I ordered the Little Kid M 5-6, and it's a little big on her the S 4 would've fit better but all I have to do is roll up the sleeves a little, she will grow into it so we'll get at least 2-3 years out of it and that's fine with me. The Snapdragon color is beautiful. The jacket is so soft and the kids love them! I will keep buying these jackets as long as they have them!
Just bought this jacket for my niece for Christmas...I am only giving this 4 stars because... it should be about $10 less then it is! The jacket is very soft and I am sure she will love wearing it.
I was very disappointed when I had my daughter try on the jacket. It was poorly cut and SO thin!! I expected better from LLBean. I shipped it back and bought a very similar jacket from a competitor.
