Types of Jackets

• Hardshell: waterproof and windproof. Ideal in the rain.
• Softshell: flexible and breathable. Perfect for active outings.
• Down / Insulated: warmth and lightness. For camping and cold days. If you're unsure, consider buying a children's down jacket for winter outings.
• Lightweight Rain Jacket: easily packs into a bag.

Technical Features and Durability

• Waterproof-breathable membranes (e.g. 10,000 mm / 10,000 MVP).
• Sealed seams and protected closures.
• Reinforcements at shoulders and seat for added robustness.
• Quality licensed closures and YKK-like zippers for long lifespan.

Eco-Friendly Materials & Innovations

The sector is evolving: recycled polyester, PFC-free water-repellent treatments, recycled synthetic insulation, or traceable down. Also consider mid-layers: technical sweatshirts for children are perfect for managing moisture and warmth.

Tips for Choosing the Right Size

• Measure height and arm length.
• Allow for growth: 1 size up if the child is already wearing many layers underneath.
• Check adjustments (size, cuffs, hem) and helmet-compatible hood.
