Toddler & Kids' Rain Gear

What Makes Reima Kids' Rain Gear Different

Reima has been building children's outdoor gear since 1944. Every piece in this collection is made to one standard: keep kids dry, comfortable, and outside longer - whatever the weather.

• 100% waterproof with fully sealed seams - no moisture gets in at the fabric or the stitching

• PFAS-free and PVC-free - non-toxic waterproofing that performs the same as conventional alternatives

• Machine washable - waterproof properties hold through repeated wash cycles

• Built to be passed down - materials and construction designed to outlast one child

• Reflective details - keeps kids visible on dark, stormy afternoons

ReimaTec vs. Rubber Rain: Which One Do You Need?

Reima rain gear comes in two waterproof technologies. Both are 100% waterproof with sealed seams - they differ in how they handle active movement and heavy dirt.

ReimaTec - Breathable and Waterproof

ReimaTec blocks rain and wind while letting sweat vapor escape. The right choice for active, on-the-move kids: school runs, trail walks, playground days, and year-round outdoor play. Comfortable even when they work up a sweat.

Rubber Rain - Maximum Protection, Easy to Clean

Rubber Rain is built for the serious stuff. Puddle jumping, muddy fields, back-to-back wet days. Dirt and water roll straight off the surface - a quick rinse is all it takes. No worrying about what they're getting into.

Kids' Rain Gear Sets: Details That Matter

• Adjustable cuffs extend fit as kids grow - get more seasons out of the same piece

• Detachable hoods adapt to changing conditions mid-day

• Reinforced knees and seat on pants - holds up to the kind of play that destroys cheaper gear

• Elastic waistbands and suspenders keep pants in place during active movement

• Zipped pockets - things stay put even upside-down on the monkey bars

Frequently Asked Questions About Rain Gear for Kids

What is the difference between ReimaTec and Rubber Rain?

ReimaTec is waterproof and breathable - it blocks rain while letting moisture vapor escape, keeping active kids comfortable during movement. Rubber Rain prioritizes maximum water and dirt resistance with a surface that's easy to wipe clean. ReimaTec suits everyday active wear; Rubber Rain is built for serious puddle days and muddy adventures.

Is Reima rain gear PFAS-free?

Yes. All Reima rain gear is completely free from PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) and PVC. Reima uses non-toxic waterproofing alternatives that deliver full protection without the chemicals parents want to avoid.

Can the jacket and rain pants be bought separately?

Yes - jackets and rain pants are sold individually. You can replace whichever piece wears out first, or mix sizes when a child needs a different fit on top and bottom.

How do I wash Reima rain gear?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener - it can reduce water repellency over time. The waterproof properties are built to hold through regular washing. For drying, always check the care label - instructions vary between ReimaTec and rubber rain styles.

Is rain gear warm enough for cold weather?

Some Reima rain jackets and pants come with light padding for added warmth in cool conditions. For cold, wet weather, layer a fleece or midlayer underneath. For fully insulated waterproof options, see Reima's snowsuits and winter jackets.

How should kids' rain gear fit?

Rain gear should be roomy enough to layer a fleece or midlayer underneath, but not so large that it catches wind or gets in the way during movement. Check that the sleeves cover the wrists when arms are raised, and that the jacket is long enough to cover the waistband of rain pants. When in doubt, size up - Reima gear is cut for active movement and holds up as kids grow.

What is the difference between waterproof and water-resistant kids' clothing?

Water-resistant clothing repels light rain for a short time but will eventually soak through in steady rain. Waterproof clothing has a membrane that fully blocks water from passing through - even in heavy or prolonged rain. Reima rain gear is waterproof, not just water-resistant, with fully sealed seams so no moisture gets in at the stitching either.
