Should children have breathable rainwear?

Children need functional and breathable rainwear just as much as adults do. Children run and play and move around more often than adults, so it is extremely important that they have breathable rainwear to romp around in.

In addition to being able to breathe through the fabric, it can be a really good idea for the rainwear to have mechanical ventilation options. This means that there should be velcro closures at the sleeves that can be opened, there should be drawstrings at the bottom of the jacket and preferably also a two-way front zipper that can be opened from both the bottom and the top.

How high is the water column pressure for waterproofing?

When it comes to the waterproofing of rainwear, it is already considered waterproof at a water column pressure of 2000. However, more is needed for the child to truly experience the rainwear as waterproof, as various factors can come into play. It could be the shoulder straps from the school bag, which can push water through the fabric of the rainwear, or it could be when the clothing is starting to wear out.

A good set of rainwear should have a waterproof rating of at least 5000 mm and preferably more - depending on how often it will be used and whether the child is, for example, a scout or engages in other outdoor leisure activities.

How do I maintain my rainwear?

Technical clothing should ideally be washed with a detergent that takes into account the DWR treatment the clothing has received. This means that it should be a detergent free of enzymes and, moreover, approved for washing clothing with different membranes.
