Ski suits for kids
A ski suit for kids is a ski jacket and ski pants in one, so no snow gets between jacket and pants. Ideal for toddlers and preschoolers who often sit or roll in the snow, and there are ski suits in size 92, 98, 104 and larger. Here you will find ski suits from Dare 2b, Tenson, Color Kids and Name It.
Ski suits for kids
Children are often not yet able to really warm themselves up, which is why it is extra important that they wear warm clothing on cold days or on a wintersport holiday. Since kids are always on the move, it is ideal that a ski suit is made so that it does not shift. Because the suit is made in one piece, wind and snow have no chance of getting in.
On colder days
On colder days it is wise to wear thermal underwear under the ski suit, so your child is extra well protected against the cold. You can then also complete the outfit with, for example, a ski sweater or thicker (ski) socks.
On warmer days
To prevent your child from getting too warm, ski suits also have breathable properties. The ski suit can therefore also wick away perspiration, so the skin stays dry.
In short: a good ski suit is windproof, waterproof and breathable.
Well prepared for the slopes
On a wintersport holiday you want your child's ski suit to be warm and waterproof. The waterproofness of ski suits is measured in water column. You can read what the different values mean in the overview below.
- From 0 mm: A ski suit is water-repellent, but not waterproof.
- From 1,000 mm: A ski suit keeps water out, but cannot withstand pressure. If you sit down on a wet chair, for example, the pants will eventually start to leak.
- From 2,000 mm: The ski suit stays waterproof even in longer snowfall, but will still leak under pressure.
- From 5,000 mm: The ski suit withstands long and intense weather, and stays waterproof even under high pressure. Under very prolonged high pressure the product may eventually start to leak.
- From 15,000 mm: The ski suit withstands heavy snowfall, and even under water the clothing keeps you dry.
Make sure the ski suit you bring is breathable and offers good ventilation. This means you will not get very hot so quickly, and when you do, perspiration is wicked away to the outside air. In short, the waterproof layer may let moisture through from the inside out, but not the other way round.
The right size ski suit
Choose the ski suit in the size your child currently wears, possibly one size bigger if you want to use it for two seasons. Many ski suits for kids have a system to make the sleeves and legs longer. Too big is not practical: the suit sags and your child cannot move as well. For older children, a separate ski jacket and ski pants are often more practical.
