Hydrostatic head
When you are choosing awaterproof jacket for your kids you should always bear in mind what conditions they will be using it in. If they’re going to be out and about in very wet conditions then you want to choose a jacket with taped seams and a high hydrostatic head level like 10,000mm. This means that the waterproof ability of the jacket is measured by the hydrostatic head of the fabric; this is the level at which water is able to penetrate the fabric. The higher the number, then the more waterproof the jacket is, the numbers range from 2,000mmm, 4,00mm or even 10,000mm.
Key factors
When choosing your kid’s waterproof jacket from our fantastic range there are some key factors to take into consideration. You need to consider the type of fabric, the breathability rating, whether its wind proof and water resistance. You also need to make sure that your child has a good layering system; a waterproof jacket needs to be accompanied by one of the kid’s mid layer fleeces and base layers for much colder climates to provide extra insulation.
