Great stylish jacket for all snow days. This jacket is in the medium range of weight but keeps my daughter warm. It’s not too heavy but also not too light. We used the size chart recommended on the website but I think these jackets run a littler big. I had to return my original size for 2 sizes smaller. I do have petit girls but it seemed big.
