Children grow up fast. Only recently bought a new jacket for a child, and now it is already small. Hands peek out of the sleeves, and a little short. Need to look for a new one. But which company to give preference? What fabrics and fillers will best warm and protect your child from a cold?
Children's Jacket Requirements
Jackets for children should be:
- warm
- light
- thin
- windproof;
- do not let in rain;
- have a hood;
- let moisture out so that the child does not sweat.
In addition, jackets should be comfortable for school and leisure.
Reima brand
The products of the Finnish brand Reima are distinguished by a variety of assortment and a wide range of prices, which allows to purchase goods to as many customers as possible. First of all, the brand’s popularity is caused by a rational cut and product quality. Reima clothing (jacket and jumpsuit - equally) allows you to move without restricting movements.
All products of the company are divided into two groups. The Reima Tec category is created using advanced technology and is designed for sports. Such clothes are light, durable and comfortable, suitable for any movement. It can be used in everyday life. The Reima Casual category, which means “basic,” does not contain any special complex and expensive elements. Clothing in this category is cheaper than Tec. In turn, it is divided into several groups according to the size and quality of the materials used. These are children's jackets (up to size 98) and models for the older age (up to 152). Casual Kiddo models are designed for use in rainy and wet weather. Fun clothing line has an original design.
All jackets are modern. Fashionable models with easy to use and high-quality fittings are well worn.
Base models are not intended for use in extreme cold. The top layer of fabric protects from wind and does not allow water to enter clothing. This is facilitated by seams glued in a special way.
At the same time, the models of the Reima Tec line are made of materials that breathe, that is, they pass air and moisture to the child's body and out, preventing him from sweating in it. This is a special Reimatec fabric.
But how to combine “breathing” materials and protection from the cold?
Layered clothing
To do this, Reima experts suggest dressing the child, following the concept of layers. It is nothing new and unknown until now. Dressing in the cold season is necessary in several layers. The air spaces that form between them contribute to the warming of the child, which occurs naturally. To do this, he needs to wear a special thermal underwear (knitted for autumn, woolen - for winter), which is also produced by Reima. The next layer is microfleece clothing (jacket and pants). For example, a Reima jacket for a boy is put on. Thanks to strong and reliable zippers and fasteners, the child is reliably protected from wind and cold.
In models for babies, it is possible to fasten microfleece clothing directly to the jacket. This reduces dressing time and effort. In spring or early autumn at temperatures above 13 degrees, you can refuse a warm sweater .
Reima produces everything you need for your child, including hats (regular and “helmets”), mittens and shoes.
Outerwear Reima
The range of outerwear company Reima:
- jacket;
- overalls;
- vest;

For example, a model for kids who have just learned to walk has a special insulated insert. If a child falls or sits in the snow, it will not get wet and will not freeze for a long time.
Removable plastic dowels do not allow the legs to move to the side or roll up, letting water and snow pass.
Bib pants with trousers are bought for older children.
Quilted vests with a filler imitating fluff have an average degree of insulation and are intended for recreation of teenagers and high school students.
