Can this jacket fit a 10 year old? I would think so as long as the 10 year old is an average size kid. My son is 8 and average wt./ht. (62lbs./52") and it fits nicely with plenty of room for him to grow. His 9 year old friend borrowed it for a short boat ride, bigger kid probably pushing the 90 lb. wt. limit and it was very snug and looked uncomfortable.
What is the weight limit? It states 50 - 90 lbs. I have a tall and large 5 year old who's 57 lbs and it fits pretty well with plenty of room to grow.
Does it have the leg strap that goes between their legs? No it did not. I returned it because it runs very small. My son is 80lbs, 11 years old. It was too short and small on him and too tight around his chest also.
Wondering about the color? The first few photos show lighter aqua type color and the last pic shows darker jewel tones. Which is accurate? Lighter aqua color.
