Outerwear for children and babies is a type of clothing worn over other garments to protect them from rain, wind, sun, or even cold. This category includes jackets, raincoats, rain pants, and boots. Snowsuits for children are also considered outerwear.

Is a hoodie considered an outer garment?

Yes, a hoodie can be regarded as an outer garment since it's generally worn over a t-shirt. However, opinions vary as a coat or jacket can be used over a hoodie.

Absolutely! It's a good idea for toddlers to have a rain jacket, especially if you live in a frequently rainy area. A rain jacket can keep your child dry and comfortable in rainy weather and can also prevent them from getting sick.

It's equally true for babies! A raincoat is an excellent garment for a baby for the fall and spring as it prevents rain from getting under the clothes without being too hot for the season.

Rain jackets or coats are not necessarily warm as they are designed to be light and breathable. We recommend layering warmer clothes underneath, suitable for the temperature in your area.

Yes, rain jackets are generally waterproof, but the level of water resistance can vary. Look for toddler raincoats with a water resistance rating of at least 3000 mm.

Under a raincoat, your child should wear breathable layers that will help wick away moisture and keep them dry. A sweater for colder days or an organic cotton t-shirt when it's warmer are great choices for dressing your little one accordingly.

It's the same for babies! If the weather is mild, avoid putting on clothes that will make them hot and sweaty. However, if the air is cool, you can add a sweater or a cozy one-piece sherpa suit to baby's automn coat.

Under rain pants, wearing breathable layers will help wick away moisture and stay dry. Thermal underwear or leggings are ideal to wear under rain pants.
