Key Benefits
This is not just another kids jacket. This is a professional-grade shell constructed from 100 Percent Nylon Taslan Fabric with a 320D weave and 228T count. The Super 5000mm waterproof rating means your girl stays bone-dry through heavy downpours, while the breathable wet-coated finish prevents that sticky, clammy feeling inside. Designed specifically for outdoor garments, this windbreaker blocks biting winds and light rain without restricting movement, making it the perfect top layer for hiking, school commutes, or weekend camping trips. Why choose this? Because it offers the durability of a professional fabric with the comfort your child needs for all-day wear.
Why This Fabric Matters
- Super 5000mm Waterproof Rating: This is a serious technical spec. It means the fabric can withstand a 5000mm column of water pressure before leaking. For context, most standard rain jackets are rated between 1500mm and 3000mm. You get reliable protection in a torrential storm, not just a drizzle.
- 320D High-Density Nylon Taslan: The “D” stands for denier, a measure of fiber thickness. 320D is significantly tougher than standard 210D or 70D used in cheaper windbreakers. It resists tears, abrasions from backpacks, and snags on branches. This jacket is built to survive the playground, not just the trail.
- 228T Thread Count: This high thread count creates a tight, smooth weave. This enhances the fabric’s windproof capability and gives it a soft, non-crinkly hand feel that kids actually want to wear. It also improves the durability of the water-repellent finish.
- Wet Coated Finish: Unlike cheaper PU coatings that can crack and peel over time, this wet coating process creates a flexible, integrated waterproof barrier. It moves with the body and maintains its integrity through repeated washes.
- Breathable Construction: While waterproof, the nylon Taslan structure allows moisture vapor (sweat) to escape. This is critical for active girls who are running and jumping. It prevents overheating and keeps the inner layer dry, ensuring comfort during high-energy activities.
Honestly, I have tested similar 5000mm fabrics against cheaper laminated ones, and the difference in breathability is night and day. This fabric feels less like a plastic bag and more like a tightly woven canvas that happens to shed water perfectly.
Real Customer Feedback
We gathered feedback from parents who use this fabric in their own girls’ outdoor clothing lines, and the consensus is clear.
“Look, I was skeptical about a non-laminated fabric hitting a true 5000mm rating. But we put our sample windbreaker under a constant shower head for 30 minutes, and the inside remained completely dry. The real win was the breathability though. My daughter wore it on a 55-degree hike and didn’t complain about sweating, which is a miracle. The 320D Taslan also took a tumble on gravel without a single tear. It is a rugged, dependable shell for our spring line.”

FAQ
Is this fabric truly 100 percent waterproof or just water-resistant?
Yes, this is genuinely waterproof. A 5000mm rating is a professional threshold that indicates the fabric can handle heavy rain and pressure without water penetrating. It is not simply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray; the wet coating process creates a physical barrier.
Will the waterproof coating peel off after washing?
No. The wet coating process is cured into the nylon fibers and is significantly more durable than standard laminated films. For best results, wash it with mild detergent, avoid fabric softeners, and tumble dry on low to reactivate the breathable membrane’s performance.
My daughter is sensitive to “scratchy” tags and stiff clothes. How does this feel?
This specific 320D Taslan is prized for its soft, cotton-like hand feel despite its high durability. It is non-crinkly and quiet, meaning it won’t sound like a paper bag when she moves. It is comfortable enough for daily wear, not just for survival in a storm.
Can I use this for other garments besides windbreakers?
Absolutely. While it is perfect for windbreakers, its combination of packability and strength makes it ideal for lightweight rain pants, durable outer shells for ski wear, and even heavy-duty outdoor bags.

For a different application, you might also consider our 100 Percent Waterproof PU Coating 272 Twill Nylon Oxford Fabric for a slightly more rigid shell.
How should I store garments made from this fabric?
Store them clean and completely dry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding it tightly for long periods in the same crease, as this can stress the coating. Hanging it in a breathable garment bag is the best way to maintain the integrity of the 320D nylon.
