Dare2b Resonance Jacket

The Dare2b Resonsance is a great kid’s waterproof jacket in that it’s appropriate for year-round mountain wear. The Resonance is a full-stretch junior shell that’s both highly waterproof and breathable, meaning your young ones will be both dry and comfortable while wearing it.

The seam-sealed fabric on this jacket provides fantastic protection from bad weather, while the high cut collar and roll away hood means your child will be able to adjust the coat depending on what the elements serve up. It’s also been furnished with reflective detailing to promote visibility in low light conditions.

No good waterproof kid’s jacket of course would be complete without pockets to store the things they find on their adventures, and the Resonance is no different on this score. Spacious pockets, with water repellent zips, means belongings can be stored and kept dry. This raincoat also has a useful inner stash pocket complete with headphone port, giving your kids the chance to listen to their music and be as anti-social as they want when you’re on family adventures.

The unisex jacket comes in a variety of five different colour schemes. Pictured above is the Fairway Green design but the product is also available in Skydiver Blue, Jem Pink, Royal Purple, and Trail Blaze.

Raindrops Ocean Waterproof Jacket

If your kid is interested in having a waterproof jacket that keeps them dry but also makes them look a bit like an East London hipster, you could do a lot worse than getting them this seriously nifty coat from Ocean.

It’s breathable and comfortable to wear, without sacrifing the durability and waterproofing you’re looking for in a children’s jacket.

Made in Scandinavia, and we tend to think they know a thing or two about jackets in that part of the world, it’s a coat  baggy enough to allow addtional bodywarming layers to be added underneath. The reflective strips on the arms should ensure your kid is lit up like a Christmas tree even on the darkest of days.

Suitable for children anywhere between the ages of two and eight, this waterproof jacket (which is also available in a less visually pleasing navy), has a matching trousers option to boot.
