The cape is the material super ago, it is very slim fit. He goes forward not. My son is 9 years and very slim - yet you looked forward all the anorak, We had specially chosen for the adult version, so the anorak still fits with underneath. But necessity is the mother of invention - I made from the excess length sleeves, inserted and the cape with a sewn-on Velcro closed. .Also The hood is not nearly as great as it apparently in the picture.
