Rain clothes

I have 3 young boys and need some excellent wet weather gear so we can get outside all winter. We live in Cornwall. I’m looking for the perfect solution for rainy windy days - for a 3yo and 5yo…and me included. Any suggestions?

I also wanted to ask this as wondering between the dungarees style and a coat and a onesie style. So thanks for asking and I await your replies! I’ve heard the dungarees style are better for being more waterproof?

Dungarees and coat is better for potty training etc especially the kind with detachable straps so you can have the bottom half just be trousers. Polar O Pyret is the gold standard for longevity though expensive. I also liked Muddy Puddles which is less expensive. My DC went to forest nursery in all weathers so thier gear was really tested. Most of the kids there were in POP.

This is good to know. We’ve had good experience with fleece lined dungarees with rubberised outer - and fleece lined croc wellies and a rubberised coat historically. But they have been passed to us, and I struggle to know where to buy the rubberised rain gear especially with a nice fleecy lining?

Keep an eye on lidl as they sell the rubbery ones. 2 pieces and dungarees style. As a childminder, we've used regatta puddle suits aswell

Lidl do a good coat and matching trouser set but I’m not sure when they’ll have them next

Was about to say lidl but others have mentioned it.
For those ages hop on vinted or eBay there will always been people selling stuff their kids have outgrown

We had some regatta stuff and some outfits from the local garden centre when ours was little.
