Everyone knows it's colder at higher altitudes, so while your little one's sitting up on your shoulders keep them bundled up in The North Face's Balanced Rock Insulated Jacket. It's stuffed to the brim with toasty synthetic insulation that'll not only wrap them in body-hugging warmth, but will maintain its warmth when heavier snows catch you by surprise on quick family day hikes. Lighter snow and rain will hardly faze them however, thanks to the water-resistant shell that beads off moisture rather than letting it soak through right away. Plus, there's reinforcements on the yoke and forearms for added abrasion resistance when they end up crawling around in the backyard on warmer days.
