Outerwear

You’ll find jackets, pants, one piece suits, rain gear and more for kids and infants of all ages, designed by fan-favourite brands like MEC Label, Patagonia, The North Face and more.

Comfort is key

When babies and toddlers are having fun outside, comfort is essential. Soft, flexible fabrics like cotton and fleece work perfectly for outerwear, as they allow your little ones to run around freely while they explore. Opt for outerwear pants with elastic waistbands opr adjustable drawstrings, which provide a secure yet comfy fit and makes diaper changes quick and easy. Joggers and leggings are also great choices, offering a balance of comfort and fit without limiting their mobility. Down-filled parkas are as easily packable as they are warm, thanks to a quilted construction that keeps the down in place and doesn’t feel too heavy.

Durability

Active kids need pants that can handle their boundless energy. Whether they’re climbing on playground equipment or racing around the backyard, their outerwear should be built to withstand both rugged play and the elements. Sturdy fabrics like polyester are ideal for active children, offering durability from wear and tear. For kids who are often on the ground or love outdoor adventures, reinforced knees on outerwear pants are a key feature to look for. These extra layers of fabric help prolong kids’ outerwear and prevent rips and holes.

Ready for the weather

When the weather gets chilly or wet, having warm and protective kids’ and baby outerwear is a must. Waterproof and insulated layers are perfect for playing outside in snowy, rainy or muddy conditions. For winter fun, look for snow pants and parkas that are both insulated and waterproof to ensure kids stay cozy and dry while they flop around in the snow. Opt for styles with adjustable waistbands or suspenders for a snug fit, and elastic cuffs that go over their boots to keep out snow and moisture.
