5 Ways to Keep Kids Dry (and Still Let Them Play in the Rain)

It's raining. That used to mean staying inside. Not anymore. After years of soggy socks and cut-short adventures, we learned it comes down to a few simple things that keep kids dry, warm, and happily outside no matter the forecast.

^#1 

Cover Them Head to Ankle

The fastest way to a soggy, cranky kid is gear that only covers half of them. A full-body rain suit in waterproof ripstop nylon keeps the whole outfit underneath dry, so a surprise downpour or a full afternoon of drizzle never ends playtime early.

^#2 

Sweat the Seams and the Zipper

Waterproof fabric is only half the story. Water sneaks in through stitching and cheap zippers. Look for heat-taped seams and a waterproof zipper so nothing gets through, not in a puddle, not on a muddy trail, not in rain that starts at 9am and is still going at 3pm.

Let Them Actually Play

Kids do not tiptoe around puddles, they cannonball into them. Reinforced knees, elbows, and rear hold up to the way kids really use their gear, so one rainy season does not mean buying it all over again.

Make It Easy to Get On

If it is a fight to put on, it stays in the closet. A suit that slips right over whatever they are already wearing, with elastic and Velcro cuffs to seal out water, means you can get them dressed and out the door in under a minute.

Keep Them Seen in Grey Weather

Rainy days are dark days. Reflective detailing on the hood, sleeves, back, and chest keeps your child visible when the sky turns grey, and an oversized hood with an extended bill shields their face without blocking the view of the next puddle.
