Thanks.. I think my mind is 95% made up to take the thinsulate back and get a bigger size of the same jacket </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thinsulate-insulate-jacket#post-1153332 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 14:38:26 +0000 shinymama 1153332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go with the Thinsulate as long as you can layer if necessary underneath. I find the 4-in-1 concept to better in theory than in actual practice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thinsulate-insulate-jacket#post-1153055 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 13:04:22 +0000 Mrsbells 1153055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I'm not even 100% sure why its 4-in-1 I will double check when I go to target this week</p> <p>@rsp213: Thanks! Yeah I really wonder if I will use it in separate pieces or not.. I think I may end up buying both which will be a waste of money!! :S </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thinsulate-insulate-jacket#post-1152504 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 09:23:24 +0000 rsp213 1152504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went through this exact decision a few weeks ago and decided to go with the Thinsulate. We had a 4-1 last year and we didn't really use it in separate pieces so I decided this year to choose something else. I also like how the Thinsulate is less bulky. </p> <p>Hope that helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thinsulate-insulate-jacket#post-1152279 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 08:13:11 +0000 looch 1152279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have personal experience with thinsulate, or that brand, but I get my son a 3 in 1 coat every year in the end of season clearance at Lands End. They have an awesome return policy too, so if you try it and hate it, you can return it even if you've worn and washed it. I paid something like $35 for my son's coat last year, so keep an eye out.</p> <p>PS: is it 4 in 1 because the hood comes off the outer layer? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thinsulate-insulate-jacket#post-1152265 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 08:08:24 +0000 Mrsbells 1152265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: yeah thats what I think too.. I think thats why the thinsulate jacket is slightly more expensive... Decisions, decisions </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thinsulate-insulate-jacket#post-1151508 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 16:29:55 +0000 T-Mom 1151508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually think the thinsulate jacket looks warmer, but definitely the 4-1 is more versatile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thinsulate-insulate-jacket#post-1151485 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 16:13:11 +0000 Mrsbells 1151485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More votes please!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thinsulate-insulate-jacket#post-1151251 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 14:09:56 +0000 Mrsbells 1151251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Thanks... I wonder if the 4 in 1 is as warm as the insulated one? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thinsulate-insulate-jacket#post-1151193 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:50:37 +0000 sorrycharlie 1151193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with kiddosc! I have a 4-in-1 jacket from LL Bean and I love it. Definitely versatile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thinsulate-insulate-jacket#post-1151180 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:45:35 +0000 Mrsbells 1151180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: Thats a good point.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thinsulate-insulate-jacket#post-1151172 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:43:46 +0000 kiddosc 1151172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote for the 4-in-1 because you're likely to get more use out of it. Using the inner shell in the fall, the whole jacket in the winter, and the outer shell as a raincoat in spring if it still fits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thinsulate-insulate-jacket#post-1151148 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:35:51 +0000 Mrsbells 1151148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I picked up this thinsulate insulated jacket from target. but now I am wondering I should return it. I have had good experience with thinsulate brand items in the past. However I'm wondering if this is good for toddlers. Should I just get a regular jacket instead that doesn't have the thinsulate insulation?<br /> There have another jacket is a 4 in one with a removable outer jacket which is slightly cheaper ( second link)<br /> Which one would you get?</p> <p><a href="http://www.target.com/p/cherokee-infant-toddler-girls-tech-jacket/-/A-14533275#prodSlot=medium_1_26" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/cherokee-infant-toddler-girls-tech-jacket/-/A-14533275#prodSlot=medium_1_26</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.target.com/p/cherokee-infant-toddler-girls-4-in-1-system-jacket/-/A-14533274#prodSlot=medium_1_23" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/cherokee-infant-toddler-girls-4-in-1-system-jacket/-/A-14533274#prodSlot=medium_1_23</a> </p>
