Summertime in Britain is always a mix of sunshine, rain, wind & thunder so making sure you have decent outerwear for your children is essential.

You need to think about how much you will be getting out with the family, whether its camping or just going out for walks. If you are looking for something for them to wear on the way to school, you will want a jacket or puddle suit that has reflective strips to keep them safe near busy roads.

Maybe you are looking for something that is long lasting, if you purchase your outerwear now, you want something that will last you until next summer, that you can layer up under in the autumn & winter.

Toddlers & younger kids need outerwear that will keep them covered in the wet & wind, so look for at least a waterproof rating of 8000mm which is Highly Waterproof.

We also recommend checking the size guides before purchasing waterproof clothing. We found the top 5 waterproof essentials to have this summer, & they are all in the SALE:
