JoJo quality

Did you know JoJo Maman Bébé has designed kids’ clothing since 1993? Since then, generations of children have enjoyed hours of outdoor play and taken on big adventures in our coats and jackets. Our waterproof styles act as performance outerwear, combining high levels of protection with comfort and durability for active babies and children. So let your little one explore a world beyond the nursery or playroom and get them some waterproof clothing for endless outdoor fun!

What should I look for in kids’ coats and jackets?

Every JoJo waterproof jacket will keep babies, toddlers, and children dry as they explore outside. With a variety of styles to choose from, you can find the best fit for your little one. There are 2 main qualities to look out for when deciding the best kids' waterproof jacket for your child:

Water resistance:
Make sure the jacket offers an appropriate water-repellent quality.

Warmth:
Check fabric quality and inner linings to keep children cosy in the cold.

Staying dry

All JoJo waterproofs use quality fabrics and innovative technologies to ensure the wearer stays dry in wet weather, from light drizzle to heavy showers. Here, we show you what you need to know about waterproofs, from understanding taped and bonded seams to deciding what kind of waterproof gear you should get for your little puddle-hopper

Taped performance rainwear

All JoJo taped performance rainwear boasts secure seams to ensure water resistance. To form taped seams, a machine heats tape to seal over the stitching to cover the holes created by the stitching, to make the waterproof seam. Many of our jackets boast cosy fleece linings or single jersey linings and are long in the body to prevent accidental soggy bottoms. Extra soft, flexible, and lightweight fabric will also look and feel good on every child as they hop, skip and jump.

Bonded waterproof rainwear

Some of our rainwear is PU coated to create a waterproof laminate, and our JoJo bonded waterproof rainwear allows sweat vapour to escape while remaining impermeable to water. Our waterproof coats keep out the chill and keep it practical at the same time. They’re packed with essential qualities like storm flaps, large front pockets, storm collars, and cosy linings.

Staying warm

Feeling the chill? Our cosy-lined collection features woven and knitted fabrics to block out the cold and keep the warmth in so that your child can stay bundled up and totally toasty. We also have super fluffy borg fabric in our teddy fleeces

Cosy lined coats

Our cosy-lined bits are fully wadded to keep your little one toasty when temperatures drop. The fleece lining offers a super-soft layer of cosiness to the coat to keep them warm on frost-crunching, snow-sprinkled days. You can always size up for an extra snug factor and some extra years of use.

Single jersey lining

Coats and jackets with a single jersey lining are great for giving your little one a bit more of a breathable option. The outer layer is insulated by a jersey lining to help keep in some body heat while also being a lightweight option for toasty tots. And remember, on those extra chilly days, these jackets are great for layering - just add cosy jumpers and cardigans!
