Children are more susceptible to cold for a simple reason: Their smaller bodies lose heat rapidly. Another less scientific reason is that they usually don't agree with all the layers that come with protecting them from the cold, rain or heat. And while we all want our children to roam free and enjoy all the beautiful things that the great outdoors has to offer, the question begs:
how do we dress them for any weather?
To start off, let's answer this question by saying what parents have said for generations: there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes.
Thekey to conquering any weather and keeping your little ones comfy at the same time, is quality fabric and proper correct layering. These are a few of our top tips for layering when heading to the great outdoors, whether you are planning a ski trip, a camping weekend or even a day at the park.
A warm wool inner-layer - Start with a light “no itch” merinotopandbottom, or a multi-purposebodysuitfor babies. If you only invest in one piece the inner-layer is the one.
Cover feet - Invest in a pair of merinobootiesfor babies and merino socks for older children.
Add a top layer - With merino, layering is a breeze, as the temperature-regulating properties mean that children will not overheat. Add a comfy and stylish pair of pantsand ashirtfor extra heat.
Cherry on top - Children lose a lot of heat from their heads. Finish off the layering with a comfybeanie to make sure they stay warm.
By following these 4 basic layering steps and adding location-specific essentials such as snow gear or a sun hat, your children will be all set for outdoor play!
