Recommendations wanted for children's waterproof jackets

[lonefish]

Hi All,

Wondered if anyone had a reccomendation on a lightweight waterproof fr my daughter? She's 7 and is currently using a cheapo regatta. Although there's nothing really wrong with it it diesn't perform brilliantly. It is single layer so tends to develop condensation easily, ended up quite damp inside during today's downpours!

Any ideas gratefully received, don't want to spend loads but not going bargin basement.

Cheers

Rich

We tend to go with Sprayaway tri-climates similar to http://www.jackson-sports.com/Model...le&utm_medium=Shopping&utm_name=UnitedKingdom

The Keela range gets great reviews for kids jackets, not too pricey either. Very well regarded gear with lots of military/mountain rescue users in the adult range.

Both look good, thanks for the options. Nothing worse than a wet and cold kid!

WE have used these for the last 14 years, she started out making them on the kitchen table as she couldnt get them for her own kids.
Top quality and when you have finished they get a good price secnd hand on Ebay, so they actually cost very little

Spotty otter, apart from having a brand name that makes me smile, it's also good kit (no affiliation, links etc)

Got my little lads Keela from Tamarack, but I don't think they stock them anymore?

We got him a cheap regatta coat and fleece combo for £10 and its held up well, I just bung it in when I'm doing a TX-Direct wash.
