Just tossing out a different, more budget friendly option. Would a Columbia fleece work instead?
We were going to let DD get a Northface jacket a couple of years ago, but, we wanted her to try one on first. She actually didn't like it, perhaps it was "too heavy" for her. She much preferred the Columbia jacket instead. At the store we were at - the Columbia was either $25 or $30, the Northface was over $100, plus the store we were at that Black Friday allowed couplns to be used on the Columbia, but not the Northface.
Although - I do need to come clean - this didn't "save" us anything, Santa picked up a pair of Uggs slipper-things that she was eyeing up.
