Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Helly Hansen Rider Snow Suit waterproof?
Yes. Rider 3.0 uses HELLY TECH® Performance with 2-layer construction for waterproof, breathable, and windproof protection. Helly Hansen rates the suit 5/6 for waterproofness and 5/6 for breathability.
How warm is the Rider Snow Suit?
The suit uses PrimaLoft® Black 133g insulation, and Helly Hansen gives it a 4/6 insulation rating. The vendor doesn't provide a specific temperature rating, so we recommend adjusting base and midlayers according to the day's temperature and activity.
Is a one-piece snow suit good for outdoor school?
We especially like one-piece snow suits for younger kids because they provide continuous coverage and reduce the number of separate outerwear pieces children need to manage. Rider 3.0 adds reinforced knees and seat, waterproof protection, insulation, and strong breathability—all useful features for long, active winter days outside. Helly Hansen itself lists resort skiing as the intended use.
How does the Helly Hansen Rider fit?
This is where the suit stands out. It has reinforced knees, seat, lower legs, and hems; a no-back-seam seat; adjustable lower legs; elastic cuffs; rubber under-foot straps; secure zippered hand pockets; and 360° reflective details. The inside of the lower legs and sleeves also uses water-repellent fabric designed to help prevent moisture entry.
What features make Rider good for active snow play?
The elastic suspenders inside the suit help keep the lower portion in place when a child comes indoors and takes the upper portion down. It's a thoughtful feature for bathroom breaks, warming up inside, or transitioning between indoor and outdoor parts of the day without completely removing the snow suit.

Ordering bulk with Outdoor School Shop was just as easy and seamless as I had hoped!
