Find Deals on Down, Warm Winter Jackets for Girls and Boys

Dec 9, 2008

Whether classic wool, down filled, or with high-tech insulating fibers, kids' winter coats should be sturdy, functional, and warm.

Kids’ winter jackets should also look good on the sledding slopes and as a cover up for a dressy occasion. A well-made coat will last through at least a couple of winters, and may even make it as a hand-me-down between a few siblings. When buying coats online, read descriptions carefully to determine the type of closure (such as zippers, toggles, or buttons) as well as washing instructions. Everyday coats should be easy to put on and take off; machine washable fabric also makes for a more presentable kid and a happier parent.

Following are some stylish and functional kids’ winter coats and jackets available online, all for less than $100.

Good quality winter coats are expensive, but worth it. Look for adequate insulation, whether natural down or synthetic, in coats that kids will use for playing in the snow or participating in winter sports. Check and spot clean the nylon, twill, or wool outer fabrics regularly to prolong the life of the coat.
