Columbia Highland Haven Parka 2027 – Insulated Jacket (Kids 4-16)

The Columbia Highland Haven Parka is built for kids aged 7 to 14 who spend real time outdoors in cold, wet conditions. Whether they're hiking, playing in the snow, or waiting at the bus stop in January, this youth parka delivers maximum warmth without the bulk, backed by Columbia's most trusted cold-weather technologies.

Built for the Elements

The Highland Haven combines a fully waterproof, critically seam-sealed outer shell with Omni-Tech breathable fabric to keep moisture out while letting heat escape where it needs to. Inside, Omni-Heat thermal-reflective lining uses a pattern of silver dots to bounce body heat back to the wearer, while 100% recycled polyester Thermarator insulation adds lightweight, down-like warmth that holds up even when wet. The regular fit allows free movement, and thoughtful details — adjustable hood with partial elastic, thumbhole cuffs, elastic hem, and hand pockets with hook-and-loop closures — seal out drafts and keep essentials within reach. The Outgrown system lets parents extend the cuffs as kids grow, stretching the jacket's useful life across more than one season.

Who It's For

This parka is the go-to for active kids who refuse to slow down when the temperature drops. It's especially well-suited for families looking for a long-lasting investment piece, since the adjustable Outgrown cuffs mean fewer seasons between replacements. If your child runs warm but the conditions run cold and wet, the breathable waterproof construction keeps them comfortable without overheating.

FAQ

• Is this jacket actually waterproof, or just water-resistant? It's fully waterproof — the Omni-Tech shell is critically seam-sealed, meaning the seams themselves are protected, not just the fabric surface.
• Can this jacket be used for snowboarding? It's rated by Columbia for hiking use. While the waterproofing and insulation hold up in cold, wet conditions, it does not include snow gaiters or venting, so confirm it meets your child's needs on the hill before purchasing.
