A Belgian company, DucKsday is fairly new to the outdoor apparel market, but their kids rain suit has already taken the world by storm, winning awards and ovations from happy parents around the world, but most particularly in the wet, damp, and cold western and northern regions. Now available in the United States, DucKsday USA makes it even easier to order.

DucKsday Kids Rain Suit Review

Our family finds the DucKsday kids rain suit to be a favorite, and here’s why:

Easy one-piece. At last, no need to worry about shirts, jackets or coats riding up and leaving bellies or backs exposed. This kids rain suit is perfect for layering over fleece.

Windproof, precip-proof protection. No one likes the cold wind sneaking through their clothes, or the uncomfortable feeling of drip, drips of rainwater or melting snow. Taped seams prevent leaks, period. Even though it’s technically called a kids rain suit, The DucKsday kids rain suit is actually an all-weather suit.

Stay-put stirrups. No more riding up with this DucKsday kids rain suit features stirrups on the legs, which secure over rainboots, and velcro around the wrists to ensure a snug, cozy fit.

Function. The DucKsday kids rain suit is easy to get on and off and it fits over multiple layers. This kids rain suit also features reflective strips for visibility and easy-zip pulls that can be managed even while wearing mittens.

Looks. With myriad colors and patterns to choose from, the DucKsday kids rain suit is easy to please even the fashionista in your family.

Room. The DucKsday kids rain suit allows freedom for jumping, tumbling, and climbing without restriction and that’s a good thing.

Price. The kids rain suit retails for $69 US. That’s hard to beat if you’re trying to buy waterproof/breathable/windproof pants AND a jacket.

Packable. DucKsday knew what they were doing; this kids rain suit is easy to have on hand, just in case you come across snow, or a big puddle.

Drawbacks: There is one minor detail that would make things a bit easier for boys. If DucKsday had made that front fly zipper just a bit longer, then young men wouldn’t have to remove the top half of the suit to answer the call of nature. A minor convenience factor, but rather important when it’s cold and wet outside.

Ollie and Stella Outfitters provides other great outerwear pieces for children, from one-piece fleece outfits to pants, jackets, and mittens. They also have a whole swim collection of rashguards, surfsuits, boardshorts, and more.
