This is the second time we have purchased this fleece. It's so practical! We first purchased it when my son was starting forest school as a layer in the winter and it is so versatile. I now keep one in the back of the car at all times when the weather changes and they need an extra layer under their coat or for when the unpredictable British weather changes. I love the fact that it's waterproof for those spring showers. It has become a staple in my children's wardrobes. We always get it slightly bigger and because it is so durable it lasts for two years. My daughter is now benefiting from the hand me downs as they are still in excellent condition even after 2 years of first school. I believe without a shadow of a doubt that this should be in every child's wardrobe because let's face it British weather is sunny, chilly, rainy and windy all year round.
