The verdict
Fit
Down jackets in this line tend to run true to size with some built-in loft, so sizing up slightly is safe for layering or growth room.
Quality
As part of the brand's lightweight down line, expect decent warmth-to-weight for mild-to-cold days, though the reversible build likely trades a little insulation efficiency for the two-look feature.
Is the price fair?
At just under $50 on clearance this lands in mid-tier pricing for kids' down outerwear, a fair deal for a reversible piece with a hood.
Best for
A parent who wants one jacket that functions as two looks and offers real warmth for fall through winter.
Care
Spot clean when possible and use a down-appropriate wash cycle if machine washing to avoid clumping the fill.
What owners report about Eddie Bauer jackets & outerwear
Owners describe Eddie Bauer's jacket line as durable enough to stay in rotation for years rather than get replaced each season, with down and fleece pieces using materials the brand documents as '650-fill power down and WeatherEdge waterproofing.' Fleece pieces reportedly keep their shape through repeated washing. Lighter, packable shells trade that durability for weight: a hooded ultralight down jacket in the line was flagged for thinner construction that 'lacks abrasion resistance,' with a shell that 'can only repel short periods of drizzle' before the water-resistant coating is overwhelmed — reviewers treat it as a midlayer rather than a standalone winter piece. Buyers also note a split in feel between the brand's full-price retail line and its separate outlet line, with outlet pieces running noticeably thinner.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently say the jackets last for years of regular wear, with down and fleece pieces holding their shape and loft wash after wash.
- Watch out for
- The recurring complaint is that lighter, packable shells sacrifice abrasion and water resistance, and that outlet-line jackets run noticeably thinner than the full-price retail line.
