Children's demi-season jackets
As with any other clothing for children, practicality, safety and comfort become the decisive parameters when choosing a children's spring-autumn jacket. And when buying a jacket for older children, their appearance also becomes especially important.
What children's demi-season jackets are there? What to look for when buying them? What brands to give preference to and other similar questions, we tried to answer in this article.
Excipients
First of all, when buying a spring-autumn jacket for a child, you need to pay attention to its composition, that is, what the jacket is filled with. Modern jackets are filled with either artificial or natural ingredients.
Natural formulations include goose down, eider down and duck down. Jackets with these fillings keep warm well and are very lightweight. However, they have some disadvantages.
Firstly, natural fillers can cause an allergic reaction in children, and secondly, after getting wet, they dry out for a long time.
Good options for down jackets are models with removable sheepskin lining, which, being a wear-resistant material, does not cause allergies at all.
However, most often, parents buy jackets with artificial fillers, which include firebertek, polyfiber, synthetic winterizer, holofiber, thinsulate, etc. They are more affordable - both in price and in general, they retain their heat and their shape remarkably.
Information about what the jacket is filled with can always be found on the product label. If “Down” is written on it, it means that the jacket is filled with down, if “Feather”, then with down and feather. "Wool" refers to wool batting, "Polyester" refers to a group of synthetic fillers.
Models
Choosing this or that model among the whole variety of children's demi-season jackets, remember that, first of all, it should warm your child in the cold season. Elongated models with internal drawstrings and a hood with zip ties do the best with this function. They perfectly warm, successfully protect from the piercing wind, as well as from rain and snow.
There are combined models of a demi-season and a winter jacket. They have a warm zip lining that can be easily removed in spring or fall. There are models with buttons, but it is better not to take these for children, since the buttons can easily come off and get lost, and it is unlikely that you will be able to find the exact same one.
In addition, there are jackets for girls and for boys. The jackets offered to girls are distinguished by the brightness of colors, a variety of prints and original designs. Long and short, fitted and straight, with and without a hood - there are so many options that every princess will be able to find the most original, beautiful and fashionable jacket that she can wear with both skirts and trousers.
Jackets for boys look no less attractive. Stylish, comfortable, lightweight and multifunctional models will definitely appeal to them. For both boys and girls, if possible, it is better to buy two models of a demi-season jacket at once. One is more athletic and lighter for walking and outdoor activities, and the other for going to school and other purposes.
