Kids Waterproof Vesi Printed Rain Jacket - Unlined, PU | Reima | #color_green

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Reima PU rain gear truly waterproof?
Yes. The Vesi jacket is fully waterproof with a 10,000mm water column rating and welded seams to keep water out — even in heavy, sustained rain. Made for real puddle play and full outdoor school days.
What's the difference between PU rain gear and breathable rain jackets?
PU rain gear like the Vesi offers maximum waterproof protection with welded seams that won't let water through. Breathable shell jackets are lighter and more packable but may not hold up in prolonged rain. PU is the right choice when staying completely dry is the priority — ideal for outdoor school, farm school, and forest school programs.
Is the Reima Vesi jacket safe and non-toxic?
Yes. The Reima Vesi is PVC-free and meets strict European safety standards. It's also free of harmful fluorocarbons, making it a safe choice for kids who are active in it all day. Reima is a Finnish brand with decades of experience making gear specifically for children.
Should the Vesi jacket fit big for layering and growth?
No need to size up. Reima runs about one size larger than traditional U.S. brands — ordering your child's current size already allows room for a mid-layer underneath. Choose size based on their height rather than age. Oversizing too much can limit movement and make the jacket less functional.
How do I care for the Reima Vesi jacket?
Hose off or wipe clean after use and hang to dry — no machine washing needed for everyday mud and dirt. For a deeper clean, wash separately inside out with zippers closed, no bleach or fabric softener, and dry at room temperature. With proper care, the Vesi lasts multiple seasons and is a great candidate for the ODSS (Re)PLAY program when your child outgrows it.
Is Outdoor School Shop an authorized Reima retailer?
Yes — Outdoor School Shop (ODSS) is an authorized Reima retailer and a trusted source for Reima gear for outdoor school programs across the U.S. We carry Reima's most popular outdoor education styles and offer bulk purchasing for schools and programs. When you buy Reima through ODSS, you're getting authentic product with expert support from a team that specializes in outfitting kids for outdoor learning.
What is the difference between the Reima Vesi and the Reima Lampi rain jacket?
Both are unlined PU rain jackets with 10,000mm waterproofing, welded seams, and elastic cuffs — built for the same outdoor school conditions. The main differences are fit and print. The Vesi features fun printed designs (great for kids who want to express their style outdoors), while the Lampi comes in solid colors with a slightly more classic cut. The Lampi also has a detachable hood, which some outdoor school programs prefer for safety during active play. If your child loves a bold look, go Vesi. If you want a more versatile, solid-color shell that works across more settings, go Lampi. Either way, you can't go wrong — both are Forest School Approved and built to last multiple seasons.
