Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a jacket or more of a midlayer?
It’s best used as a lightweight midlayer or everyday jacket. It works well on its own in mild weather and layers easily under rain or winter jackets when it’s colder.
Is it warm enough for outdoor play?
It provides light warmth, making it ideal for active play where kids are moving and generating heat. It’s not insulated, so for colder weather it works best layered under a shell.
Will my child be comfortable wearing this all day?
Yes. The soft, stretchy fabric allows full movement and feels comfortable against the skin, making it easy to wear both indoors and outdoors.
Is it easy for kids to put on and take off?
Yes. The full front zipper makes it simple for kids to manage on their own, and the chin guard helps prevent irritation while zipped up.
Does it hold up to active use and washing?
Yes. It’s made with durable, flexible materials designed for regular wear and washing, making it a reliable everyday piece for school, play, and outdoor activities.
Is there a matching pant?
Yes, this set is perfect to wear as a set- your kids will love it!

Ordering bulk with Outdoor School Shop was just as easy and seamless as I had hoped!
