Rainwear or shell clothing - what should I choose?

When it comes time to take out the children's rainwear from the closet, many parents don't know what to think. In Sweden and the rest of the Nordic countries, it often rains on and off. Then it's important to dress the children in practical and functional garments. Some children love to jump in puddles, while others prefer to sit and play in the damp sand. This is where the choice between shell clothing and rain gear in a gallon comes in - what determines which of these garments suits your child best? Here we guide you to the right choice!

In conclusion, there are advantages and disadvantages when it comes to choosing shell clothing or galon clothing. For many, the best option is to invest in a set of each , especially since their properties complement each other so well. In general terms, you can say that the biggest difference between a shell and a fleece is breathability. The advantage of a shell is that the garment breathes, which means that heat can be transported out and ensure that the child stays dry inside the garment. Fleece, on the other hand, is great when it's raining outside and is easy to rinse off to remove dirt. If the children are going to be outside for a whole day in pouring rain, a fleece jacket and fleece pants are the way to go. However, if the children are going to be out running and playing on a gray overcast day, a shell jacket and a pair of fleece pants may be a better option - although they also resist rain well.
