Despite the harshness of winter, children may remain warm, active, and adorable throughout the season if they have the appropriate equipment. Below, we showcase two exceptional pieces from our youth collection and share advice on how to put together a winter wardrobe that is both practical and fashionable.

Products In Focus 

• Gildan Heavy Blend Youth Full Zip Hooded Sweatshirt

An all-purpose mid-layer essential. This hooded sweatshirt with a large zipper provides both comfort and flexibility. For extra warmth without bulk on chilly days, use it inside an outer jacket or shell.

• SportTek Youth Waterproof Insulated Jacket (YST56)

An outer layer designed to withstand the harshness of winter. This jacket is waterproof, insulated, and breathable, so it can withstand wind, snow, and cold while keeping youngsters dry and comfortable. 

1. Layering Is Essential

Layering is the key to a successful winter wardrobe. Using a moisture-wicking base (avoid cotton), an insulating midsection (such as fleece or that Gildan hoodie), and a waterproof shell (such as the Sport-Tek jacket) to keep out wind and snow, you may start.

Children can avoid overheating or cold by skipping or removing layers as appropriate.

2. Select Weather-Resilient Materials

• Windproof and waterproof outerwear: This is crucial in sleet or snow because it keeps out moisture and drafts.

• Breathable insulation: You want warmth without perspiration being trapped.

• Comfy, soft mid-layers: Warm enough to hold onto heat while being light enough to move freely.

3. Comfort & Fit Are Essential

Kids move quickly and play vigorously, therefore their clothing must allow for flexibility of mobility. Oversized gear can allow in chilly air, while excessively tight clothing traps it in. Additionally, search for characteristics that can be adjusted; hoods, hems, and cuffs assist accommodate shifting weather conditions.

4. Keep The Extras In Mind 

To finish off an ensemble for the winter, add:

• Wear hats, gloves, and scarves (or neck gaiters).

• Cozy socks (wool mixes are excellent)

• High-quality boots that are insulated and have grip

• For really chilly days, consider using thermal base layers.

5. Maintenance & Care Advice

• Pay close attention to the washing directions (cold wash, soft cycle).

• Make sure everything is completely dry since moisture destroys insulation and promotes mildew.

• To keep apparel waterproof, apply a DWR spray on a regular basis.

• When not in use, keep equipment in areas that are dry and well-ventilated.
