aka mud protection.
Here in semi-desert Kamloops we honestly don’t really need high quality rain gear. This is one area where you can get away with regular children’s brand rain pants and coats.
A leg with an elastic cuff on the ankle saves kids from wet feet and a lot of boot dumping. There are few things better in life than children freely enjoying their shoulder season days in a pair of bib rain pants, muck boots, a capilene top and a sun hat.

The Best Rain Gear
Unfortunately rain gear is one area where brand names make a big difference. MEC, Patagonia, Columbia, Helly Hansen, outdoor gear brands are what you are looking for.
Dishonorable Mentions
- Tuffo “muddy buddies” or “newt suits” for kids 3 and over. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THESE
They are hard for children to zip on their own and hard to toilet in. Also they make a camo version which is enormously unsafe and inappropriate for small children.
