Best Fleece Jackets for Boys - Fall 2009

Fleece jackets are a great alternative to traditional jackets for the fall for children due to their versatility and warmth. Fleece jackets provide a warm, and comfortable layer that will shield your children from the cooler fall weather while still keeping them cool enough to enjoy the mild air. This article will take a look at 4 great choices for boys fall jackets, where to get them, and price.

1. The North Face Denali Hooded Fleece Jacket

This jacket makes this list due to its great versatility for both cool fall days and cold winter days. This jacket is a twist on the popular Denali jacket that is popular for all age groups; however this jacket takes the same styling and adds a hood for extra warmth during poor weather conditions. The jacket is not bulky like that of winter jackets yet provides excellent warmth during the fall time. I own the adult version without the hood and can safely say it provides great warmth and versatility. The price is steep at $71.37 on www.backcountry.com however this jacket should be good for many years.

2. The North Face Boy's Khumbu Fleece Jacket

This fleece by The North Face is the perfect lightweight fleece for fall. This fleece jacket for boys is warm, but yet highly versatile since it won't allow the user to get too hot in mild weather. The jacket looks great and has two zippered pockets on the lower left and right ends of the jacket for storing really any items. This jacket combines great looks with great functionality, and for only $47.99 there is not much to dislike. This boy's fleece jacket for the fall can be found at www.altrec.com.

3. Columbia Steens Mountain Fleece Jacket

This warm yet quick drying light fleece is perfect for any active boy during the fall. For only $19.99 this fleece is perfect for any boys' style; the jacket is solid black which makes a great slender look that is also very function able. This jacket can be found at www.explore64.com.

4. Spyder Boys' Outlaw Fleece

If you have any sort of money to sink into a fleece for your child this may be one of the best choices. This boys' fleece made by Spyder is perfect for the fall since it features water resistant material, wind resistant material, and is made from strong stitched material. This fleece jacket looks great and even makes for an excellent core for winter if you need the extra warmth without the bulk. This jacket can be found for $89 at www.cabelas.com.
