Types of outerwear: Which is right for your little one?

Come rain or shine (or even a surprise snow day), JoJo outerwear is ready for it all! Our coats and jackets are long-lasting, easy to care for, and made for adventures beyond the playroom. Whether it’s a light jacket for sudden showers, a cosy winter coat for chilly days, or a fully waterproof layer for puddle-jumping fun, you’ll find the perfect pick for every forecast…

What should I look for in a kids’ coat?

Water resistance All JoJo waterproof outerwear is designed to keep children dry and comfortable, whatever the weather. Our waterproof coats feature taped seams, PU coatings and are tested to a 10,000mm standard, meaning they can handle rainy play without letting water in. For lighter conditions, our showerproof coats with bonded seams are a great option, perfect for school runs or short adventures on drizzly days. Warmth Keeping cosy is key, whatever the weather brings. For chilly days, we offer fully wadded, cosy-lined coats and puffers that lock in warmth, while our soft jersey-lined jackets provide a lighter option for milder days. Each lining adds an extra layer of snug insulation to keep your child toasty as temperatures drop. For added comfort (and extra wear), we advise that you size up, allowing room for jumpers underneath and a longer-lasting fit.

FAQ'S

What is the difference between taped and bonded seams?

Taped seams cover up stitching with heat-sealed tape to completely keep water out. Bonded seams skip the holes altogether by fusing fabric layers for a sleek look that is resistant to water.

What is the difference between cosy lining vs single jersey lining?

Our cosy-lined coats are wadded with thick fleece or borg for extra warmth on frosty days, while single jersey linings give a lighter, breathable option that still keeps in heat, but might be a little more suited for active days out.

What outerwear should I buy for my baby?

A great option for babies is a soft, cosy pramsuit — it’s an all-in-one layer that keeps them warm, comfy and protected when you’re out and about. As they grow, you can also choose from our range of baby-sized coats, designed with the same JoJo quality and softness, so even the tiniest explorers stay snug and stylish.

What does 10,000mm mean?

The 10,000mm rating means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 10,000mm column of water before it starts to leak, which is plenty to keep your little one dry through long days of rain and active outdoor play.
