Kids Rainwear FAQs
What kids rainwear do I need?
For everyday wet weather, a kids' waterproof rain jacket is a great start. For heavier rain, camping, daycare, outdoor play or puddle jumping, add waterproof rain pants or choose a one-piece rain suit for more full-body protection.
What is a kids puddle suit?
A kids puddle suit is a one-piece waterproof rain suit designed to help keep children dry during wet weather play. It gives more coverage than a jacket alone, making it ideal for puddle jumping, muddy adventures, daycare, camping and outdoor exploring.
Are kids packable rain jackets useful?
Yes. A packable rain jacket is easy to keep in a school bag, car, backpack or travel bag, so kids are ready when the weather changes. They're a handy option for school camps, walks, holidays and everyday use.
Do kids need rain pants as well as a rain jacket?
Rain pants are a great idea for heavier rain, camping, outdoor play or long days outside. They help keep pants and base layers dry, especially when kids are sitting, kneeling, running around or jumping in puddles.
Can kids rainwear be layered over thermals or fleece?
Yes. Waterproof rainwear works best as an outer shell. In cooler weather, layer it over kids' thermals, fleece or warm mid-layers to help keep children dry and comfortable.
How do I wash kids waterproof rainwear?
Always check the care label first. In general, wash waterproof rainwear on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can affect water-repellent finishes and waterproof performance.
