The verdict
Fit
Likely a relaxed, easy-layering cut typical of kids' outerwear, with room to size up for a growth season; check the kids sizing chart before buying.
Quality
As part of the brand's kids outerwear line, construction should hold up to regular play, though reversible garments typically compromise some insulation and structure compared to single-shell jackets.
Is the price fair?
At $89, this sits at the higher end of the kids jacket tier, but the reversible feature adds real functional value that flat-price jackets don't offer.
Best for
A parent who wants one jacket to cover two color or pattern options without buying two separate coats.
Care
Check the reversible-garment care instructions, since dual-sided construction can limit standard machine-washing options.
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.
