Views

Separate sets consist of trousers / semi-overalls and a jacket. A bib may look like regular pants with wide, adjustable, often detachable suspenders, or it may have a full chest and back made of fleece or the same material as the pants.

It is worth mentioning the wide range of colors of winter overalls produced by the most famous Finnish brands.

Young gentlemen can diversify their wardrobe with blue, brown or gray tones. Manufacturers pamper boys with images of cars, airplanes, robots, monsters and balls.
Material
Finnish manufacturers pay special attention to fabrics and other materials from which winter overalls are sewn.
Both regular and membrane fabrics can be used as external material.
In any case, high-quality fabrics are used that are highly resistant to abrasion, tension and tearing. They tend to "breathe" and provide excellent protection against frost, wind and moisture.
In addition, the upper fabric is treated by manufacturers with a special compound that does not allow dirt to be absorbed into the product. Thanks to this, Finnish winter overalls can be washed quite rarely, only a couple of times per season.
In order to avoid damage to the structure of the outer fabric and the protective coating applied during the production, ordinary washing powders cannot be used; manufacturers recommend only special detergents. Light dirt can be removed with a damp sponge or running warm water.
Winter overalls made in Finland are sewn with or without inner fleece insulation. In the second case, you will have to separately purchase a fleece or fine wool underwear. For some overalls, manufacturers offer to purchase special liners fastened with zippers or buttons. The principle of layering when drawing up a winter outfit will prevent a child from freezing in frost.
Insulation in Finnish winter overalls is lightweight and hypoallergenic:
- thinsulate;
- holofiber;
- thermophile;
- waltherm;
- isosoft.
Thanks to the finest fibers in their structure, they allow you to keep maximum heat inside the overalls. The product, insulated with a modern filler, dries quickly and does not deform during washing or active wear. All heaters used for sewing overalls are certified according to the strictest European standards and are recommended for the production of safe children's clothing.
The maximum amount of artificial insulation in Finnish winter overalls is 300-350 grams, the minimum is 200. Insulation with a density of 280-350 grams is suitable for our northern winters, and insulation with a lower density can be recommended only for outdoor activities at temperatures around zero. Finnish winter overalls with the maximum amount of insulation can withstand frosts down to -25-30 degrees.
Natural fluff is often used as insulation. Down jumpsuits have their pros and cons. Of course, natural filler is more environmentally friendly, but despite this, duck down is not heat-resistant enough for severe frosts, and goose down, on the contrary, is too hot, especially for mobile children. In addition, dust mites, dangerous for allergy sufferers, can start in natural insulation, it strongly absorbs moisture and dries for a long time.
