Thorough Explanation Of Ski Wear For Kids
Recommended Brands, Tips On How To Choose, And Useful Features!

Kids love to play outside even when it is cold.
When it snows and piles up, it's a great place to play.
Winter play will be more enjoyable for children if they are well protected against the cold and waterproof.

So, this time, Tips on how to choose snow wear for kids and popular brands are explained.
Please use this as a reference when choosing wear for a family ski trip or for playing in the snow with your children's friends.

 

 

Check Point 1: Water Resistance

Water pressure resistance is a very important feature for ski wear.
It is a numerical value that indicates how much water pressure the fabric of the garment can absorb.
The higher the value, the less likely it is that water or snow will soak into the wear.

Reference Values For Water Pressure Resistance

Drizzle	300mm
Light rain	2,000mm
Heavy rain	10,000mm
Storm	20,000mm

*The water pressure resistance of an ordinary umbrella is about 250mm.

If you are going to a place where there is not much moisture, 2,000mm is not enough to get wet,
but if you are going to a place where there is a lot of moisture and snow, 10,000mm is enough to play safely.

Checkpoint 2：Size Adjustment Function

Children grow taller and taller every day.
If you buy new ski wear every time they grow, you will have to spend a lot of money...

The size adjustment function is a great feature for such children's ski wear.
There are drawcords attached to the back and sides of jackets and inside the pockets of pants to shorten the sleeves and hem. You can adjust the size by pulling the drawcords.
Most of them are adjustable by about 6 in, so I recommend buying one that is about 6 in larger than your current height and wearing it for a few years.

PHENIX

THE NORTH FACE

Many of these winter sports manufacturers have solid fabrics and high water pressure resistance.
However, it is also true that many of them are expensive.
If you are thinking of buying one through mail order, which is the mainstream method nowadays, I recommend that you check the water pressure resistance as well as the price.
Or, you can look for a product that is out of model of these brands.
There are many products that are cheaper just because they are older models, even though they still have the same functionality, so you may be able to get a good price if you look for older models.

Convenient Function 1：Powder Guard

A powder guard is a jacket with a double layer on the inside of the hem, etc., to prevent snow from entering when you fall.
When small children see snow, they want to get into the snow.
If they fall or get into the snow and their underwear gets wet little by little, they may not only feel uncomfortable but also get cold.
But it's difficult to keep them out of the snow, isn't it?
Want them to play in peace as much as they can! That's what really want.
If that's the case, it's a good idea to choose clothes with powder guards.

 

 

Convenient Function 2:Retroreflective Material

Ski wear in a prominent color that is highly visible is a better choice, but it may not be your favorite color.
In the snowy world of all-white skiing, wearing colors that assimilate with the scenery may put you at risk of getting lost or running into someone.
Retroreflective materials can alert skiers and snowboarders in dark or low visibility areas such as night skiing.

 

 

 

These are some recommendations for children's clothing.
Even if you only go skiing once a season, choosing a size that can be used for two seasons will be more reasonable than renting.
It's also a good idea to choose cute colors.
Also, by choosing ski wear that is appropriate not only in terms of price but also in terms of function, you will be able to create fun memories with your child that will bring them into contact with nature.
