Looking for a fleece lined Pertex type smock jacket for my 11 year old son, seems none of the common manufactures cater for kids! Anyone seen anything that fits the bill?

We buy all sorts of kids stuff second hand - and have had a Patagonia pertex and fleece kids from 1990's....we still have a fleece of similar vintage...

We usually do separates, so we can layer and take off as needed.

Small ladies? If you can find the right colour, and do it without him realising it's a ladies.

Have you had a look at Polornopyret ?-Swedish kids clothes.up to 12 yo.
We've bought a quite a few of their coats & fleeces etc. v good quality IMO.
Not sure if they do a pertex smock though....word of warning-scandi kids are huge,we buy the size down for average sized L'il J.

ignore - just seen age range.

We've got some Spotty Otter stuff for ours. Expensive but lasts so in our case could be inherited by the next one down.

Not exactly what you're looking for but Craghoppers do a kids jacket which is a similar idea to a Montane Prism ie Pertex type shell filled with a synthetic insulation.

Keela also do something similar.

Thanks all...seems a small ladies buffalo might be only option. Annoying that they make them up to age 5 then nothing until adult sizes!
