When it comes to great winter wear and winter boots for kiddos, shop our brands first. You won't be disappointed. We have chosen the very best brands to ensure you are getting the best product for the best price.
Before the snow flies, we have a few favorite lightweight versatile kid's products that you will love. If you can't keep a jacket on your little boy or girl, the Kye vest may be a perfect option. This puffy vest has loft that traps air and high quality zippers to ensure it lasts an entire season. From a stand alone outer layer in the fall to an extra insulative layer during the winter, the Kye vest from Trespass is sure to please.
Our other fall favorites for girls and boys are the Reversible Consort (girls) and Shatter (boys) Jackets by Dare2B, a trusted leading outdoor brand from Europe. With two styles to choose from each day, kids feel like they have more choice over style without breaking the bank.
If your kids like camo, you won't want to pass up the popular Oakiwear Waterproof Softshell jackets in Mossy Oak while sizes last. These are great little jackets at a great price, don't miss out.
Kids love to be outdoors even when it's cold, as long as they are warm and dry. Be assured, every pair of our snowpants from Dare2B and Trespass, sizes 2/3T up to 13/14 are well built and waterproof for the longest days outdoors. We carry black, carrot, pink, and lime colors too!
Great winter coats are a dime a dozen, right? Wrong. When you shop for your kiddos, think about the temperatures, snow and wind. All of which really need to stay on the outside for your kiddo to stay warm and dry. If you are looking for warmth and style, one of our favorites is the Dare2B Thawed Jacket for girls. Available from size 5/6 up to 11/12. This jacket has tremendous loft for trapping warm air in, it's got a great fitting hood and wrist cuffs as well as reflective tape and a snow skirt. It's also waterproof complete with taped seams!
For the most amazing kid's winter jacket around, check out the Strikeforce. Available in Khaki Green and Purple, this jacket will blow you away. The Ared 8000 outer nylon is tougher than anything else you'll find in a kid's winter jacket, and it's fully waterproof. The zipper is crazy tough and there are lots of pockets and adjustments on this coat including a detachable hood and snow skirt. This jacket will last through several kids, and keep them all warm.
Shopping on a budget? You really have to check out our Jacket-Pant Crawley set from Trespass. This is a great deal for those looking for quality gear. Available in black-orange and black-pink and from sizes 2/3T to 11/12. This set is water resistent, and works great for those sloppy days outdoors.
Winter boots are some of the toughest things to shop for sometimes. Toddlers are starting to get around on their own, but their feet are still so tiny. What works? Lightweight toddler booties are super simple, kids love them, and they are designed to stay snuggly secured to your little one's feet. Our personal favorites are are the Stonz Booties. The small size comes with a super soft flexible bottom, while the new medium and large sizes come with a new PlusFoam flexible rubber sole. Need extra warmth? Add the plush Stonz Linerz and toes will be toasty warm all day.
If you need matching mittens for your little ones, you won't want to miss the slip on mitts from Stonz. They come in two sizes. No thumbs and appropriately placed drawstrings assures your infant or toddler will have warm fingers all day long.
You may also be interested in the soft fleece lined booties and aviator hats from Molehill Mountain. This brand has a great reputation for quality kid's gear at somewhat lower prices. The quality is slightly lower than Stonz, but Molehill products work great for some, especially considering how fast kids grow.
Last but certainly not least - our #1 pick for kid's winter boots are the Stonz Winter Bootz both the Scout and the Original. If you have seen standard kid's winter boots from Columbia, Sorel, Bogs or even Kamik, picture their best boots, but even better! Stonzwear has a unique design, combining a proprietary XLF foam sole with a removeable wool liner. This boot is not only the warmest kids winter boot it is also the lightest kids winter boot. Our tip, go up a size to get extra life out of these boots. The lightweight design will blow you away and the kids won't even notice the bigger size. One of the best parts, these boots have great slip resistent soles, so you can rest easy when your kid runs across the next icy patch - because you know they will.
Or shop the Stonzwear Scout for the really little guys!
