Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Reima Parvin meant to be worn as?
Think of the Parvin as a cozy mid layer, not a snowsuit. It can be worn on its own indoors or layered over a base layer and underneath a snowsuit or weather-protective outerwear. We especially like it for toddlers because one piece adds warmth from top to bottom without creating a lot of bulk.
Why choose a one-piece wool layer instead of a fleece top and pants?
One-piece layers are incredibly practical for little kids who spend their days crawling, climbing, bending, and rolling around. There is no waistband gap and no shirt constantly riding up underneath their outerwear. The Parvin keeps the torso and legs comfortably covered while still giving toddlers the freedom to move.
Why is merino wool a good mid layer for toddlers?
Merino wool is great for winter layering because it provides warmth while helping with temperature regulation as activity levels change. That's particularly useful for toddlers who might be sitting quietly one minute and climbing a snowbank the next. The Parvin also has a brushed interior for additional cozy warmth.
Can my child wear the Parvin underneath a snowsuit for Outdoor School?
Yes—this is one of our favorite ways to use it. On colder Outdoor School or snow-play days, the Parvin can add an insulating layer between a base layer and your child's waterproof outerwear. Because it is a one-piece, you don't have to worry about a fleece top pulling up or creating a cold spot around the waist.
Is the Parvin waterproof or warm enough to wear outside by itself?
The Parvin is a warming layer rather than weather-protective outerwear. It's cozy for indoor wear and can work by itself in appropriate mild conditions, but it doesn't replace a waterproof or windproof outer layer when the weather requires one. For snowy, wet, or windy days, pair it with the appropriate outerwear—the Parvin provides the warmth underneath while the outer layer handles the weather.
