Kids sweater shirts

These Kids sweatshirts

Keep them warm, dry, and comfortable all season with practical, durable winter wear designed for active play. Here’s a concise guide to essential pieces, materials to look for, fit tips, and care advice.

Essentials

• Winter coat: Insulated, water-resistant outer shell with a warm fill (down or synthetic). Look for a hood, storm cuffs, and a longer hem to seal out wind and snow.

• Snow bibs or pants: Waterproof or water-resistant with taped seams, adjustable straps, and reinforced knees/seat for durability.

• Base layers: Moisture-wicking long johns in merino wool or synthetic blends to keep skin dry and warm.

• Mid layers: Fleece or lightweight insulated jackets for added warmth that layers easily under a coat.

• Hats and balaclavas: Windproof and insulating; a snug fit prevents heat loss from the head.

• Gloves or mittens: Waterproof shells with insulated lining; mittens are warmer for very cold conditions, while gloves offer better dexterity.

• Boots: Waterproof, insulated boots with good traction and removable liners for drying. Ensure room for warm socks without making the boot tight.

• Socks: Thermal socks in wool or wool blends; avoid cotton which traps moisture.

• Neck gaiters and scarves: Gaiters are safer for active kids and easier to tuck inside coats.

Materials & Features to Prioritize

• Waterproof/breathable membranes (e.g., PU coating, laminated membranes) to keep moisture out while allowing sweat to evaporate.

• Insulation: Down for high warmth-to-weight ratio; synthetic for better wet-weather performance and easier care.

• Sealed/taped seams in outerwear for added protection from snow and slush.

• Durable water-repellent (DWR) finish to help shed light moisture.

• Stretch panels for mobility and comfort during play.

• Reflective details for low-light visibility.

Fit & Sizing Tips

• Allow layering space: Clothes should fit comfortably with one mid layer underneath without restricting movement.

• Growth room: Choose adjustable features (elastic waists, extendable cuffs, adjustable hems) to extend the useful life through a season or two.

• Try boots with the child wearing the socks they’ll use and leaving about a thumb’s width of extra space at the toe.

• Ensure gloves/mittens allow finger movement; mittens can be sized slightly larger to accommodate thicker liners.

Care & Maintenance

• Follow garment labels for washing and drying. Use gentle detergents formulated for technical outerwear.

• Reapply DWR treatment after washing if water no longer beads on the surface.

• Air out and fully dry insulated items and boots between uses to prevent odor and mildew.
