What coats are your kids wearing this winter?  Particularly if they are going out on recess until it reaches 0 (by temp or wind chill). 

This year I just feel like nothing I'm seeing is warm enough, except a down coat which is $$$.   I wish I'd picked one up last year, but I waited too long =(

We are on our fourth of these LLbean coats.

I got DS a 3 in 1 Osh Kosh coat from Sam's Club last year for $25. It's got a zip out liner that can be worn as a light fleece and a zip off hood. The whole thing combined is a heavy parka.

You can get those 3 in 1 coats fairly cheap with all the sales going on.  Check places like Sears, JCPenney, if you have a Sams Club or Costco membership they usually have winter coats.

I'll have to check out Costco this AM to see if they have anything.  I have a LE jacket for him, but it just doesn't seem warm enough to me.  But, probably with boots, hat, gloves and snow pants, he will be ok.

We have an LL Bean coat...the Katahdin, I think? We walk back and forth to school (just a 15 minute walk, but still....), he is out for recess unless it is a blizzard, and we just spend a lot of time outside. He also has LL Bean snow boots (3rd year for those - they come with extra liners which has been a huge bonus), their fleece neck warmers, face covers,etc...the whole shebang.

I just bought coats at Target this year - they are the 2 in one coats so the inside is fleece lined and then the water/wind proof outside.  They both have good hats and mittens and often, when its super cold, they have on sweatshirts as well.
