Rain jackets for children: staying dry in any weather
Children love to play outdoors in all weather. To make rainy days fun, they need the right clothing. A good rain jacket keeps your child dry and shields them from the wind. Look for a high water column and sealed seams when buying. Our models are lightweight, durable and pack down small – ideal for kindergarten or a trip to the mountains.
PFC‑free & eco‑friendly
Many conventional rain jackets contain perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and other chemicals used in waterproofing. These substances can be harmful to health and are spread through water and wind into the environment. We use PFC‑free materials such as recycled polyester and organic cotton. Modern brands like VAUDE prove that textiles can be waterproof without fluorocarbons. For a complete outfit, we recommend matching rain pants and movement & outdoor clothing.
Breathability & comfort
A good rain jacket must not only be waterproof but also breathable. Children move a lot and sweat quickly, so moisture and heat need to escape. Our jackets feature membranes and ventilation slits that create a comfortable climate. Lightweight fleece or wool layers underneath provide extra warmth without restricting movement. Practical details like reflective elements and detachable hoods increase safety on the road.
Care & longevity
Proper care is essential for a rain jacket to last. Wash the jacket as needed at a low temperature and use a special detergent for functional clothing. Regular reproofing ensures that water beads off and the jacket stays waterproof. Our PFC‑free waterproofing sprays are environmentally friendly and easy to apply. Store the jacket in a dry, airy place and repair small tears promptly so it will accompany many adventures.
Style & combinations
Rain jackets don’t have to be boring! From cheerful colors to muted tones, we offer a wide selection. For cold days, lined models can be combined with winter jackets & coats. For transitional periods, lightweight jackets can be layered with a soft jacket made of fleece. This way your child stays warm, dry and stylish in any weather.
