Little Boys Leader Jacket

The Spyder Little Boys Leader Jacket is a warm, waterproof, and feature-packed insulated ski jacket for young rippers, combining EXO SHIELD™ 10K stretch fabric, 120g synthetic insulation, and grow-with-them cuffs so they can chase laps all season long.

Why Kids (and Parents) Love the Leader Jacket

• Serious weather protection for small skiers: EXO SHIELD™ 10K stretch recycled polyester with a 10K/10K laminate and DWR sheds snow and slush, keeping them dry on storm days, chairlift rides, and sled laps.
• Warm, low-bulk insulation: 120g of Sorona® / EXO THERMO synthetic insulation surrounds their core with cozy warmth without turning the jacket into a stiff, bulky shell.
• Built to grow with them: “Small to Tall” gusseted cuffs let you drop the sleeves up to 1.5" so the jacket can keep up with growth spurts and last more than one season.
• Helmet-ready hood: A removable, helmet-compatible hood with an inner gaiter seals in warmth and keeps snow out, then pops off easily on drier days or around town.
• Powder skirt & snow defenses: A fixed powder skirt with snaps and gripper elastic, plus elasticized cuffs with glove/mitten attachment, help block drafts and stop snow from sneaking in.
• Kid-friendly storage: YKK® Vislon® center front and chest zippers, zippered hand pockets, a data card pocket, and internal mesh goggle pocket give everything a home—passes, snacks, and goggles included.
• Improved comfort details: Interior stretch cuffs, a drawcord-adjustable hem, and a standard fit keep the jacket comfy and secure while they twist, turn, and tumble in the snow.
• More responsible materials: A fabric blend with 55% recycled polyester and components made without PFAS chemicals help reduce environmental impact while still delivering full mountain performance.
