Frequently Asked Questions

Is Reima PU rain gear truly waterproof?
Yes. It’s fully waterproof with welded seams to keep water out β€” even in heavy rain. Made for real puddle play and outdoor school days.
What’s the difference between PU rain gear and breathable rain gear?
PU rain gear offers maximum waterproof protection. Breathable jackets are lighter but may not hold up in prolonged rain. PU is best for staying completely dry.
Is Reima rain gear safe and non-toxic?
Yes. Reima PU rain gear is PVC-free and PFAS-free and meets strict European safety standards.
Should rain gear fit big for layering and growth?
No need to size up. Reima runs about one size larger than traditional US brands β€” ordering your child’s current size already allows room. Choose size based on their height. Oversizing too much can limit movement.
How do I care for Reima PU rain gear?
Hose off or wipe clean after use and hang to dry. No machine washing needed. ODSS carries a simple cleaning sponge that makes cleanup quick and easy.

For us, the right gear from ODSS supports what we believe most about childhood. When children are able to be outside every day, in all seasons, they become tenacious, confident, and develop an authentic relationship with the land.

Ordering bulk with Outdoor School Shop was just as easy and seamless as I had hoped! As we open up a new program, preparing our first group of kiddos for any weather was at the top of our priority list, and ODSS came through with insight, expertise, and the coolest, most dependable gear around! Thank you ODSS!
