An overall is a practical garment for small kids. Unlike a jacket and pants, there is only one garment to be worn while avoiding the gap between the top and bottom. We at Outnorth not only have padded winter overalls, the range also includes shell overalls for spring and autumn, as well as cozy fleece overalls that work both as a mid layer and as an outer layer. To determine the waterproofness of the overalls, you can look at the water column in mm - the higher the number, the higher the water resistance.
Overalls
Kids love to play in the snow. Something they do not enjoy as much is becoming cold and wet. At Outnorth, you will find a wide range of functional, warm, and good-value winter overalls for children from well-known brands such as Bergans, Didriksons, Houdini, and Isbjörn of Sweden.
With us, you find a wide range of overalls for children. We have overalls for the cold winter, but also in waterproof designs to withstand autumn rain. You can choose between waterproof overalls, baby overalls, overalls with a detachable hood, and overalls reinforced at exposed areas. Snow and cold will not stop your child from playing outdoors in winter with a children's overall from Outnorth.
The perfect winter garment
An overall is probably the most effective winter garment for all children. It's just a matter of jumping in and heading out, the clothes stay in place and there is no risk of them slipping off. This also prevents your child from getting snow in unwanted places and allows them to freely engage in all sorts of snow play. With a waterproof overall, the children stay dry and happy. With overall's good breathability, there is less risk of it getting too hot and sweaty when the weather changes. The materials are usually very comfortable, have good water-repellent properties and are breathable. At our store, you find overalls free from fluorocarbons, but still maintaining the ability to repel water. Many overalls also have reflectors, so your child is visible in the winter darkness. You also do not have to worry about loose reflectors that can easily come off in play.
Durable overalls for extended lifespan and durability
Kids seldom refrain from playing, regardless of weather or terrain. Knees and bottoms are often exposed areas because play is rarely limited to just being on one's feet. Many overalls therefore come with reinforced parts to ensure the overalls last longer. If you buy perfect and sturdy clothes for the children, hopefully, they can also be used by younger siblings or future generations. If you buy robust, quality clothes made for hard outdoor use, you do both yourself and your children a favor.
Which overall should you choose?
There are many factors to consider when purchasing winter clothes for children. Do you need to buy this winter's baby overall or an overall for an older child that should last more than one season? Is it most important that the overall is warm, or do you also want it to be waterproof? How much are you willing to spend? Should the overall withstand wild outdoor activities? Take a look at our tips below if you are unsure.
Overall for kids or overall for babies?
The criteria for a good children's overall vary slightly depending on who will wear the overall. A baby overall should primarily protect against cold, wind, and wetness but should also be comfortable for the child to wear. Overalls for older children need to be more durable so that they can withstand wild play. Here, there is greater demand for an overall made from tough material, yet flexible enough for your child to move freely.
Wind and winter overalls should protect against cold, wetness, and wind
Aside from being warm and comfortable, it is also an advantage if the overall keeps out water and wind. Several of our overalls are waterproof, with water columns up to 15,000 mm. This is a must for children's winter overalls, which need to withstand snow and slush during the coldest months of the year. However, a simple windproof overall is also a good and practical option for your child, usable before and after winter.
Material and padding of the overall
The overall should ideally be both functional and comfortable. Therefore, many of our overalls are made from materials with high breathability. Airy and thermal insulating padding makes the overall compressible and takes up little space in luggage.
Comfortable in an overall
Children are often very active. There are times when they seem to never run out of energy. Therefore, it is important that the overall allows movement, while still fitting properly. In our range, you will find overalls with pre-bent legs, soft cuffs that keep wetness out, adjustable waist for extra comfort and warmth, and rubber bands under the feet to keep the overall in place.
Hood
A detachable hood is an effective outer garment that provides a little extra protection against cold and snow, which you can easily remove when the weather permits.
Reinforcements
Active children require durable clothes. Overalls for older children benefit from reinforcements at the elbows, knees, bottom, and leg ends, making the overall last longer for wild play.
Your child is more visible with reflectors
It is important to be visible in the dark, so several of our overalls have visible reflector details.
Keep the wind or winter overall for another season
Children grow. Fast. They outgrow their clothes before you have time to dress them for a day on the ski slopes. Extend the lifespan of the overall with "Grow cuffs" and "Extend size", which means that the overall is prepared to be extended in legs and arms. This allows you to keep your winter or windproof overall for another season.
