Kids overalls & bodies
When you hear something about skiing, you immediately think of a person skiing in a ski suit. Skiing is indeed one of the most popular winter sports activities. Many a person takes a long journey on a winter holiday for it. It's especially nice to head out to a winter sports resort with the whole family, which is why the child also needs to be kitted out with the appropriate ski suit.
What are the advantages of overalls for kids?
Firstly, overalls for kids are very practical, as they are quick to put on and keep all areas of the body equally warm in winter. For this reason, overalls are also very suitable for babies, especially as they remain sufficiently protected from the cold and wet in the pushchair or child carrier. A lined overalls for pre-school children or for daycare is just as practical and also gives the little ones a certain amount of safety, as the padding prevents too strong an impact if they fall. It's also light to clean, as the overalls are often only soiled in a few places, so you don't always have to wash them as a whole.
Which winter suit is suitable for kids?
Instead of overalls, you can also opt for a two-piece suit. Ideally, this should consist of a warm winter jacket with thermal trousers in a matching colour and design. The filling is also important in a two-piece suit, for example when it comes to quilted winter clothing. You should consider whether to choose a snowsuit for kids with down or synthetic filling. Overalls are practical as a snowsuit for babies, as there is no tops to ride up when moving and therefore no cold air can get to the sensitive baby body.
What water column for children's ski suits?
The water column for winter overalls or ski suits for kids should be at least 4000 mm to ensure sufficient waterproofness. This is particularly important when travelling in snowy areas, as sleet or hail can often occur there. This is particularly true when travelling to the mountains for winter sports holidays. Baby overalls for outdoor use should have a water column of 9000 mm. Protection from the wet is particularly important for babies, as they do not yet have the immune defences of bigger kids or adults.
What do children wear under an overalls or ski suit?
As children's overalls or ski suits for children sometimes also include a jacket, especially if the ski suit is sleeveless, it would be usual for children to wear a sweater or turtleneck under the ski suit, and possibly also a jumper. A fleece jacket under the overalls is not necessary if the ski suit has a warm lining. In addition, a fleece layer under the overalls would also be too bulky and could create pressing creases. Kids should neither freeze nor sweat in winter overalls, otherwise they could catch a light cold. This would be particularly annoying on a winter holiday and can be avoided with appropriate winter clothing. At Transa you will find many great offers for kids' overalls and winter suits.
