SOLOCOTE PU Coated Outdoor Kids’ Raincoat

While raincoats are essential components of any adult’s wardrobe, they are also must-haves for children, who are more susceptible to the elements. Whether you’re looking for the right outerwear to protect your youngster from rain during hiking trips, camp adventures or recess, there are many excellent options to choose from.

Most raincoats are thinner than the average winter coat, shielding the wearer from wind and unwanted moisture but not from the overwhelming cold. Key elements to look for when shopping for a raincoat for your child include waterproof fabric (nylon and polyester are common materials), zipper closures and hoods.

However, many raincoats boast additional features, including detachable hoods, multiple pockets, reflective properties for safe nighttime wear and fleece or jersey lining. They also come in a variety of colors and prints, making it easy for kids to select one that fits their personality and wear it proudly.

• A raincoat that is both breathable and waterproof guards against precipitation and perspiration, making it ideal for active kids.
• Kids’ raincoats with both zipper and velcro closures offer extra protection from wet weather, while those with elastic cuffs or wrist enclosures prevent water from entering the sleeves.
• If your child is planning to wear the raincoat in cooler climates, a fleece-lined variety is a great option. However, you can easily boost the warmth factor of any unlined raincoat shell by dressing your little one in an additional long-sleeve top or sweater underneath the coat.
• Lined kids’ raincoats are generally heavier than unlined raincoats. Unlined raincoat shells, which can easily be stuffed in a backpack or suitcase, are more travel-friendly; some even come with their own travel bag.
