Frequently Asked Questions

Why would my child need a rain hat if their jacket already has a hood?
A rain hat gives kids dedicated waterproof coverage around the head, ears, and neck while letting them move and turn more freely during active play. It is especially useful for kids who are constantly looking down at puddles, climbing, digging, and exploring.
Is the Reima Rainy Rain Hat waterproof?
Yes. Reima rates the Rainy with a water column over 10,000 mm and uses welded waterproof seams, making it a strong choice for heavy rain, outdoor school, and wet-weather play.
Is this hat warm enough for cold weather?
The Rainy is unlined, so it is designed as a waterproof outer layer rather than an insulated winter hat. On colder days, pair it with season-appropriate layers underneath.
Does the Rainy protect the neck and ears?
Yes. The extended shape is designed to provide coverage around the ears, neck, and face, which is especially helpful when kids are bending over, looking down, or playing close to the ground.
How should I choose a size?
We recommend checking Reima’s size chart rather than choosing by age alone. Some current customers report that the Rainy fits smaller than expected, so measuring before ordering can help you get the best fit.
What should I pair it with for a complete rain setup?
Pair the Rainy with the Reima Lampi Rain Jacket, Lammikko or Oja Rain Pants, waterproof boots, and either Puro lined or Kura unlined rain mittens for a complete wet-weather system.

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