Children's winter jackets
- Warm and reliable models available in the Sportano shopChildren's winter jackets are an indispensable part of every child's wardrobe in winter. They provide protection from the cold, wind, rain and snow, allowing children to enjoy playing outside whatever the weather conditions. Choosing the right winter jacket for your child is crucial to ensure comfort, warmth and safety during winter activities.
At Sportano you will find professional children's winter jackets from popular brands such as LEGO, Reima, The North Face, Columbia and 4F.Key features of children's winter jacketsChoosing the right winter jacket for your child involves considering a few key features to ensure comfort, warmth and safety during winter days.
Thermal insulation is one of the most important features of a winter jacket. The right insulation layer, whether synthetic or natural, such as down, is essential to keep warm in cold temperatures. The thickness of the insulation should be adapted to the climate in which the jacket will be used and to the child's activity level.
Water resistance is another key feature. Children often spend time playing in the snow, so the jacket must protect against getting wet. Materials with water-repellent membranes such as Gore-Tex or other technologies provide protection against moisture while remaining breathable.
Wind resistance is another important aspect. The jacket should protect against cold winds, which is especially important when playing outside on cold days.
Safety is important, especially for younger children. Reflective elements improve a child's visibility in the dark, which is especially important during short winter days.
Functional features such as the hood, pockets and adjustable cuffs are equally important. The detachable hood can be practical in a variety of conditions, while the additional pockets are useful for storing small items.Materials and technologies used in children's winter jacketsThe choice of materials and technologies used in children's winter jackets has a huge impact on their functionality, durability and wearing comfort.
The materials used for children's winter jackets must meet high quality standards. Natural down is the traditional choice due to its exceptional insulating properties. Jackets filled with down are lightweight, warm and provide excellent protection against the cold. However, down can lose its insulating properties when wet, so it is important that the jacket also has a waterproof outer shell.
Synthetic fillings, such as polyester, are increasingly chosen for their moisture resistance and ease of care. Synthetics are less susceptible to moisture damage and are often more affordable than natural down, while maintaining good thermal insulation.
Membrane technologies, such as Gore-Tex, are extremely important in ensuring a jacket is waterproof and breathable. These membranes allow moisture to escape from inside the jacket, while preventing water and wind from entering.
Innovative outer fabrics are also key. Materials such as nylon and polyester are often used for their durability and abrasion resistance. These are ideal for active children who spend a lot of time outdoors.
Additional technologies, such as DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coatings, are used to make outdoor fabrics more waterproof. These coatings ensure that water condenses and runs off the surface of the jacket instead of soaking into the fabric.
Detachable hoods, adjustable cuffs, and multi-layer zips are additional design features that add to the functionality and versatility of children's winter jackets.Winter jacket care and storage tipsCare and proper storage of a winter jacket are key to maintaining its quality and functionality for longer. Dry the jacket well after each use to prevent mould and odours.
Washing a winter jacket should be done according to the manufacturer's recommendations. It is usually recommended to wash at a low temperature, using mild detergents. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can damage the waterproof coatings.
Dry the jacket naturally, avoiding direct heat sources such as radiators. High temperatures can damage the fabric and reduce its water resistance.
Storing the jacket in a dry and ventilated place is essential after the season is over. It is best to store it in a special cover that protects it from dust and ensures adequate air circulation.
Regularly checking the condition of the jacket allows you to detect any damage early and repair it, which extends the life of the garment.
