A regular winner of Trail reviews of kids’ jackets, the Keela Simpson Advanced Jacket is still very hard to beat. It’s made from a good waterproof and breathable fabric with a mesh lining, so it should be comfy. The chest pocket and lower pockets are all zipped, with stormflaps to keep the rain out. The front zip gets a large, fleecy chinguard too. The hood is particularly good, with face and volume adjustment plus the ability to roll it away in the collar. Finally, reflective piping adds a little security for when the nights draw in. But the Keela Simpson Advanced Jacket’s fabric is not as waterproof or as breathable as some other fabrics.
