Haven't but if you are looking for a serious boy's coat try Polarn O Pyret.

tutu100 · 08/10/2011 00:05

They are lovely, but no thicker than fleeces you can buy from anywhere. Only suitable for use in winter if your child has several other layers on underneath.

I love Jojo polar fleece for ds2, but only ever buy it in the sales.

I have not had a polar fleece coat - only the over trouser things and other bits which were all fab.love jojomaman. I think the jackets are double layer so warmer. personally would go for a waterproof as well as warm:

The waterproof fleece anorak thing is the best coat DS ever had - cannot recommend highly enough. If only he were not now six and has finally outgrown it we could eek yet another winter out if it www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk/sp+reversible-waterproof-fleece-lined-rain-jackets-in-rainwear-and-wellies+A8510 so if your DS is under five I'd go for that.

now settled for a togz one which seems ok so far www.waterproofworld.co.uk/togz.htm#wdryjacket

My children had the all in ones and the ponchos. The ponchos were fab for buggy days with the sheepskin, and easy to take off when getting into the car.

very cosy but agree you need something waterproof really if they are at walking age.

I have three boys, and like coats from debenhams, john lewis, joules, boden and next.

mosschops30 · 08/10/2011 09:51

Yes havelooked st M&S, next, john lewis, debenhams, bhs. They are either chavvy or too schooly.
I had looked at the jojo reversible ones and they were also a possibility, are they really good then?

how old is your ds? I like bright/unusual coats. DS2 is nearly 6 he has boden and joules this year, and ds3 is 4 and he has ds2's boden star one from last year.

Alibabaandthe80nappies · 08/10/2011 11:09

The reversibles are brilliant. Just about to order a new one for DS1 for this winter.

mosschops30 · 08/10/2011 12:56

Ds2 is almost 2. I have ordered the polar fleece and the waterproof revetsible jacket.
Are the reversible ones warm enough to see us through winter?

spotty otter do fantastic kids outdoor wear - proper mini versions of adult stuff.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 08/10/2011 13:20

little trekkers is also a good site for comparing /buying outdoor gear. I think nordic kids do v good but expensive stuff too.

Sorry on phone so can't do links easily
