Frequently Asked Questions

Do kids really need rain mittens for outdoor school?
We think so. Rain mittens unlock a whole new level of play — kids can stick their hands in puddles, dig in mud, and explore freely without worrying about getting wet. They’re one of the first items we suggest!
Aren’t regular knit gloves enough for rainy days?
No. Knit gloves absorb water and stay wet. Once soaked, they make hands cold and uncomfortable. Rain mittens are waterproof and designed to keep moisture out.
Can you layer rain mittens when it’s wet and snowy?
Yes. On cold, wet days, many parents layer thin wool or fleece liners under waterproof rain mittens. This keeps hands warm and dry — ideal for wet snow conditions.
What is the difference between shell rain and PU rain?
Shell rain gear is typically a lightweight, breathable fabric with a waterproof coating or membrane. It’s great for active movement but may wet through in prolonged rain. PU rain gear is fully waterproof with welded seams and a coated exterior. It’s heavier-duty and best for steady rain, puddles, and wet outdoor school days.
How do you wear rain mittens?
Rain mittens go over jacket sleeves, not under. The extra-long cuff pulls up high over the sleeve to help seal out water and keep rain from running inside. For colder days, you can layer thin wool or fleece liners underneath for added warmth — while the waterproof outer mitten keeps hands dry.
What is the difference between the Puro and the Kura rain mitten from Reima?
The Puro is lightly lined and the Kura is unllined.
