Re: Ariat Winter jackets size question
IME Ariat outer wear runs small and they over state the water resistance. I've only worn their official US team gear when we wear in England, but I i wouldn't say it allowed for layering. Thank God I had my Kerrits and DH was head to toe in real Gortex.

I wouldn't worry about dirt sticking to ointment, it's the way of it. Maybe keep his legs wrapped for a while with ointment on? Neosporin or some such. Those scabs will be more comfortable and will heal/come off sooner if you can keep them softened.
