Rain Coat

A: Custom raincoats are essential because they are specifically tailored to fit a child’s unique body size and proportions. Unlike off-the-rack options, which may be too long, too loose, or restrict movement, a custom-fit raincoat ensures maximum comfort and freedom of motion—perfect for active children who love to run, jump, and play even in rainy weather.

A: Clothes that are breathable, lightweight, and quick-drying are best for children during the rainy season. Options like cotton-blend t-shirts, waterproof shorts, and easy-to-layer jackets are great choices.

A: I like to make sure we all have comfortable tall rain boots, walkable calf height winter boots, a long rain jacket, warm layers, hooded puffy, warm hats, and gloves. For the kids, rain suits and rain boots are essential in the pacific northwest, as well as layers such as fleece or down underneath.

A: Seasonal, weather-appropriate outerwear is a must to keep your tot dry on stormy days—or, rather, as dry as possible, since puddle-jumping is inevitable. So, if you've already found the perfect pair of rain boots you'll need a water-resistant toddler jacket to match.

A: A true waterproof raincoat will have a waterproof rating. It will have multiple layers of waterproof protection (such as a DWR coating, fully taped seams, and a waterproof membrane). You will also want to look for features like elasticized wrists and an adjustable hood. So water is less likely to get in at openings.
