Kids spring waterproof coats

17 replies

Hello! I need to get some waterproof spring coats for my kids of 8 and 4. Need to be good to use when camping in the UK at half term. Does anyone have recommendations where to get them from? Thanks a lot!!

Polarn coats are excellent. £££ but mine wear them all year round (with integrated fleece in the winter)

Just bought DD(4) a waxed jacket (proper not waxed look).

Decathlon does good waterproofs for camping and hiking and has a kids' section. Very reasonably priced.

We have had Hatley for the past few years they have been really good.

We always get Hatley. Lovely designs, lined and completely waterproof (not just shower proof).

Marks and Spencer's have got some nice ones for £16. Not sure how waterproof but looked good!

Another vote for Hatley. Expensive, but you may pick up a bargain in the sales or on amazon.

Just bought mine from Regatta at the local garden centre. £15. Bargain.

Muddy puddles are fantastic.

Mine have Hatley jackets but I just use pac-a-macs from mountain warehouse for camping/hiking. They wear them over a fleece if cold. Saves me carrying an armful of coats around when the weather is changeable.

Thanks all. Will have a look at Polarn, Hatley and Regatta. Like the idea of the pacamacs for camping, thank you!
My daughter has a lovely muddy puddles coat that just about fits her but for some reason she hates the zip and refuses to wear it..

Mountain warehouse! Waterproof with fleece. You'll need it on this country!

Just got the kids pacamacs from Decathlon, very good value and look to be well waterproofed, we sized up.

We always get DS waterproof coats from regatta or millets online. Both normally have good deals. Regatta have a sale and then a clearance section on their website so check both as clearance is the cheapest.

Like pp we also buy the 3 in 1's with the removable fleece inner.
