This is a very nice jacket, but my son has a hard time getting in on when wearing long sleeves. The wrists are a little tight (which is good in the snow), and the fleece adds to some of the difficulty because it does not allow the shirts to slide in the sleeve. I think this is a minor thing, and something he will eventually get used to.
I agree with the others who wrote that the liner is a problem. It is not securely attached to the outer shell and it is very difficult for my 9 yr old to put on the coat by herself ... or w/help. We will be returning this coat and getting another LL Bean product ... but not with a removeable liner!
We loved the color and style of this jacket, but my seven and half year old son struggled to get his arms in every time, especially if he was wearing more than a thin shirt. It was very frustrating for him (and me)! The sleeves of the inner fleece liner are just too narrow or not attached securely enough to the shell, or both. If you take the liner out, I don't think the coat will be warm enough. We will be sending it back.
We love the 3 in one coats b.c u get ur $ worth. My son loves his. I bought it a size bigger then he normally wears & it's just a little big. He loves it!
