Kids' rainwear for wet-weather days
Rain rarely waits for a free afternoon. It turns up on the walk to school, halfway through a game in the park, and just as your child decides the puddle at the end of the road needs jumping in. Our kids' rainwear is here for exactly those moments, for the days when wet weather calls for an extra layer. From light showers to a proper downpour, this is an easy layer for rainy days.
Across the range you will find rain jackets, full rain sets, and thermosets that add a warm layer underneath for the colder, wetter stretch of the year. Some pieces are made for quick in-and-out trips, others for a whole morning spent outdoors. There are bright pieces for the child who wants to be seen splashing about, and calmer tones for the ones who would rather blend in. Whatever your child is heading into, and however they like to dress for it, there is a style to match it.
How to choose between a rain set and a single layer for your child
The right pick depends on how much rain your child meets and how long they stay out in it. A single rain jacket is the easy grab for the school run and short trips, the one that lives by the door and goes on in seconds.
A full set steps in when the weather settles in for the day, covering the legs as well so a sit-down on wet grass stops being a problem. Think about where your child spends most of their wet days, too. A short dash between the car and the classroom asks less of a layer than a full afternoon in the playground, and the busier their outdoor life, the more a complete set tends to earn its place.
A quick way to narrow it down:
- Rain jacket: the everyday layer for showers and the in-between days when you are not sure what the sky will do.
- Rain sets: top and bottoms together, for long stretches outdoors and the kind of play that ends up on the ground.
- Thermoset: a warmer option for the colder, wetter days, when staying dry alone is not quite enough.
If you are after something lighter for milder, in-between weather, take a look at our softshell styles. And when the day turns properly cold rather than wet, our jackets for kids pick up where rainwear leaves off. Many families end up with one of each, so there is always a sensible answer waiting by the door even if the weather is changing.
Rainwear that fits into the rest of the wardrobe
Rainwear works best as part of a set your child can get into without much fuss. Layer a rain jacket over a jumper on a grey morning, then add a hood and a pair of wellies and the walk to the gate looks a lot less daunting. The aim is a routine your child can manage themselves, so heading out in the wet becomes one less thing to negotiate.
Finish the look with the small things that make rain bearable. A hat and a warm pair from our selection keep hands and ears out of the wind, while our selection of outerwear accessories round out the rest. Pulled together, it is the kind of set your child reaches for without being asked twice.
Ready for whatever the sky does
Wet days are part of childhood, and they should not mean a day stuck inside watching the window. With the right wet-weather layer, your child gets to splash, run and explore right through the drizzle, then come back in ready for the next thing.
