The Sierra Designs Hurricane Parka for Kids is one of our favorite waterproof breathable jackets.  It's got reliable performance, reasonable price, and plenty of colors to choose from for boys, girls, or gender neutral so you can pass it down.  Just like the adult version, it packs into its own pouch and is great for day hikes, backpacking, camping, or travel.  Sierra Designs kids' specific Hurricane Parka features the same Extremity Vents, two-layer waterproof-breathable fabric, seam sealing, and mesh-backed pockets as their time tested adult versions, but in kids' sizes. Technical, reliable performance in a do-anything shell. The Hurricane Parka packs up small enough in its own stuff sack to be carried in a child's pack for an unexpected shower, but it is also stylish and plenty durable to be used as an everyday rain coat.  The PVC-free seam taping keeps Mother Nature out of harm's way, and the two-layer waterproof-breathable Hurricane fabric protects your little one from the nastiest weather out there. We keep all the full-featured detail from our adult version in this kids' Hurricane, including our comfortable and full-coverage adjustable and articulated hood.
