How to Choose the Right Mid Layer for Kids

BEST FOR: EVERYDAY OUTDOOR PLAY

Lightweight, breathable and quick-drying, fleece is an easy everyday layer for active kids—and easy to wash when outdoor play gets messy. It traps warmth without adding much bulk and works especially well for children who are generating plenty of their own heat.

BEST FOR: COLD + CHANGEABLE DAYS

Naturally insulating and temperature-regulating, wool keeps kids warm even when damp and naturally resists odors—making it especially good for long days outside. It also provides plenty of warmth without requiring a thick, bulky layer.

BEST FOR: COLD + WET DAYS

Designed to mimic the warmth and loft of down without using feathers, synthetic insulation is a great choice for kids. It continues to insulate when damp, dries more easily than down and provides a feather-free option for families avoiding down.It can be worn beneath a protective outer layer when more warmth is needed or on its own when conditions allow.
