Avekids Tomas Shine Kids' Jacket
A Disappointing Winter Coat for My Little One
summarizeEditor's Summary
I was stoked to try out the avekids winter coat for my 1.5-year-old daughter, but unfortunately, it didn't quite cut it. The membrane quality was a major letdown - it started to flake off after just a few uses. My daughter was freezing after 40 minutes of playing outside in -20°C. To be honest, I expected better build quality, especially considering the price. All in all, I'd say this coat falls short in terms of value for money.
