Key Benefits
This is not just another raincoat. This is a 228T Waterproof Nylon Taslan jacket engineered for active kids who refuse to let weather stop playtime. Constructed from 100 percent polyamide (nylon), this trench coat provides a robust barrier against wind and rain while remaining breathable enough for high-energy sports. Whether it is a drizzly commute to school or a muddy weekend hike, this jacket keeps your child dry, comfortable, and ready for adventure.
Why choose this specific fabric? The 228T Taslan weave offers a unique texture that is tougher than standard packable rain jackets but softer than stiff PVC options. It resists abrasion from backpacks and playground slides, while the waterproof finish ensures water beads up and rolls off instantly. For parents, this means less laundry and fewer complaints about damp sleeves. For kids, it means unrestricted movement and a cool, functional look that they will actually want to wear.
Durable Waterproof Protection
- 228T Nylon Taslan Shell: Provides a tight, durable weave that blocks light rain and wind chill, making it perfect for unpredictable spring and autumn weather.
- Water-Repellent Coating: The finish forces water to bead off the surface rather than soaking in, keeping the interior dry and reducing drying time.
- Full-Zip Front with Storm Flap: Offers double-layer defense against driving rain, preventing water from seeping through the zipper line.
Designed for Active Movement
- Lightweight Construction: At this weight, the jacket is easy to pack into a school bag or sports duffel, so it is always on hand when the weather turns.
- Articulated Sleeves: Allows a full range of motion for throwing balls, climbing, or cycling without the fabric binding under the arms.
- Elastic Cuffs and Hem: Keeps the jacket in place during vigorous activity and seals out cold drafts effectively.
Practical for Daily Use
- Easy-Care Polyamide: This fabric resists stains and dries quickly. A simple wipe down handles mud splashes, while machine washing on a gentle cycle restores its look.
- Functional Pockets: Deep side pockets secure small treasures like stones, snacks, or gloves, keeping hands warm when waiting for the bus.
Real Customer Feedback
We sent this jacket home with the Miller family for a two-week trial, including a rainy soccer tournament and a camping trip. Here is what Sarah Miller, a mother of two, had to say:
“Honestly, I was skeptical about how ‘waterproof’ a lightweight jacket could be. But my son wore this for a full day at a damp rugby festival, and his base layer underneath was completely dry. The fit is great for his broad shoulders—he didn’t complain about it being restrictive when he was throwing the ball. The only minor issue is that the fabric makes a slight swishing sound when he runs, but that is a fair trade-off for how durable and dry it keeps him. We are buying a second one for his sister.”

FAQ
Is this jacket truly 100 percent waterproof?
Yes, the fabric has a waterproof coating and a high-density weave that prevents water penetration in moderate rain. However, like all breathable waterproof garments, prolonged exposure to heavy downpours may eventually saturate the outer face fabric. For daily school commutes and sports, it performs excellently.
How does this compare to a softshell jacket?
A softshell is typically wind-resistant and water-repellent but not fully waterproof. This Taslan jacket offers superior rain protection while still being lighter and more packable than a bulky softshell, making it a better choice for unpredictable wet weather.
Can my child wear this for winter sports?
This is designed as a shell layer. For winter use, we recommend layering it over a warm fleece or down mid-layer. The generous cut allows room for base layers without restricting movement. You might also pair it with our Wholesale Super Absorbent Quick Dry Fitness Towel Custom Microfiber Sports Gym to wipe off sweat during intense winter activities.
How do I remove tough stains from mud or grass?
Pre-treat the stain with a mild detergent and a soft brush before machine washing. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can degrade the water-repellent finish. To restore the water beading effect, you can tumble dry low for 10 minutes or use a spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment.
Is the sizing true to standard children’s sizes?
Yes, we follow standard US and EU children’s size charts. The cut is athletic, allowing for movement. If your child is between sizes or wears a thicker mid-layer underneath, we recommend sizing up for a more comfortable fit.
For a complete outdoor layering system, consider our 100 Percent Waterproof PU Coating 272 Twill Nylon Oxford Fabric Breathable Outdoor Clothing Bags to understand the durability of our material sourcing. And for after-swim or post-practice drying, our Kids Animal Print Microfiber Bath Towel Quick-Dry Eco-Friendly Wearable Poncho is the perfect companion to keep kids warm without the bulk.
