Winter overall - 9 smart details & features

Vinteroverall - 9 smarta detaljer & funktioner

9 advantages of our winter overalls

1. Extended size

The season for winter overalls can be very long. During this period, the child will of course continue to grow - and that's why extended size is a smart feature! Extended size means that the shell of the overall is full length, but the lining has a fold that can be opened and folded down when the overall starts to become too short. 

2. Adjustable leg end

On the inside of the leg of our overalls, there are snow locks and an adjustable leg opening in the form of a cord and stopper. This feature is perfect for tightening the leg opening, thereby regulating the length of the leg and preventing unnecessary wear. The leg end is also reinforced with durable reinforcement material. This is to minimize the risk of unnecessary wear and unwanted leakage. Our winter overall Unifit has adjustable leg ends, while Unitoddler unfortunately does not have this smart feature.

 

3. Foot straps

Foot straps are practical to prevent the overall from sliding upwards and creating a gap between the overall and the shoe. Geggamoja's foot straps are made of silicone and are also available for purchase separately if you need them. Both Unifit and Unitoddler are designed with foot straps. You can order extra foot straps here!

 

4. Adjustable waist

All children are unique, and for the best fit, our overalls have an adjustable waist. This feature is also functional when you need to adapt the overall to how many clothes the child is wearing underneath. By tightening the waist, the garment gets a snugger fit, thereby reducing the risk of it hanging loose. Loosen the waist adjustment when the child is dressed in thicker clothes for winter play on colder days. You can also tighten the waist to increase agility or loosen it to provide space and greater freedom of movement inside the overall for free play. Both our winter overalls Unifit and Unitoddler have adjustable waists. Unifit with a drawstring - and Unitoddler with an adjustable band.

 

5. Detachable hood

Adjustment and variation are the main reasons. You can use the hood when it is cold or rainy – but at the same time remove it when it is warm or when you prefer a different look. Detachable hoods also make it easier to wash the garment. By removing the hood, you can avoid unnecessary wear and thus better preserve both shape and color. Furthermore, the detachable feature is well suited for children's clothing for safety reasons. If the hood, for example, tends to get caught on something, it can easily be removed to avoid the risk of accidents. During certain activities, such as sports or play, it can also be comfortable to remove the hood to avoid unnecessary discomfort or blocking of the field of vision.

 

6. Snow locks

A snow lock at the leg or sleeve ends keeps the cold snow out. Our winter overall Unifit has adjustable snow locks with zippers but can also be adjusted with Velcro. This is a good feature to easily get the snow lock over, for example, a pair of ski boots. Unifit also has a snow lock at the sleeve end. We recommend that you put the mitten over the snow lock to keep the snow out. This creates a kind of overlap function that seals tightly.

 

 7. Reflectors & spacious pockets

Our winter overalls have a large number of reflectors. These are placed 360 degrees – so your child is visible in the winter darkness from all directions. Besides being visible in the dark, it is important that the child keeps track of their garments – regardless of darkness or not. For example, children tend to take off their mittens during free play. We then recommend a pair of mitten holders so the child's gloves don’t suddenly disappear. Sometimes, however, the child wants to collect small things – and then pockets are needed. Our overalls therefore have spacious pockets – so mittens, lift passes, or stones can fit.

 

8. Reinforcement on knees and backside

A durable and play-friendly design is important to us. In these terms, we do not only mean sustainable production but also durable clothing regarding wear and tear. Our overalls have extra reinforcement on the knees and backside – all to allow and withstand the child's free play.

 

9. Bionic Finish Eco® Coating

All production and manufacturing of clothing affect our environment. As responsible clothing producers and you as consumers, we can together make sustainable and smart choices to maintain a lifestyle with as little environmental impact as possible. Therefore, we use, among other things, an eco-friendly impregnation called Bionic Finish Eco to maintain a good water-repellent effect on our winter overalls. 

FAQ - Questions and answers about winter overalls
