Arctix Lightweight Machine Washable Girls’ Snow Pants

Playing in the snow is one of the most memorable delights of childhood. Making snowmen, throwing snowballs, building forts and making snow angles are just a few of the fun things kids can do in the winter weather. Help your child enjoy the snow by ensuring they stay warm and dry in their outerwear. Along with a warm jacket and boots, one of the most important winter clothing items are snow pants.

There are a couple of different styles of girls’ snow pants to choose from. Ideal for younger children, snow pants with bibs provide an extra layer of warmth at the core. The top of the bib comes up to the chest area and has two straps that go over the shoulders. Another style is pants without the bibs. These pull-on snow pants look like regular pants that are pulled up at the waist. They are best for older children. For babies and toddlers, opt for a one-piece snow suit, which includes both the coat and pants together.

Ensure the snow pants are water-resistant so that your little girl can freely get covered in snow without getting wet. The seams of the snow pants should be sealed so that no moisture can get in. If the pants are not water-resistant, then your child’s legs and clothes will be sopping wet by the time she heads indoors.

• Opt for snow pants with warm insulation. These will keep your child warm so that they can spend a lot of time outside without feeling chilled. Some snow pants have a fleece lining while others are just a shell, so you’ll need to layer underneath.
• Having elasticized cuffs on snow pants is key so that they can be pulled tightly over snow boots. This ensures no cold snow gets underneath the pants and onto your child’s legs or inside their boots.
• If your child spends a lot of time sitting or kneeling in the snow, then you’ll want to go with a pair of snow pants that has reinforced knees and a seat. This should help with both wear and tear and preventing snow from wetting the fabric while they sit in snow.
• Girls’ snow pants are available in a multitude of colors. You can opt for one that perfectly matches their coat, or go with a complementary color instead. You can also choose a neutral like black that works with many different styles of coats.
