It is easy to design in four easy steps, and it is perfect for rain or shine – ideal for school trips or running around the playground. The deep hood can be stowed away, the inner Thinsulate layer keeps your kids warm, the Velcro cuffs and Teflon lining keep them dry and the underarm vents stop your kids from overheating. The material is also rain and stain-proof, machine washable too and the best part about it is that your kids can design it themselves using a selection of colours, characters and accessories, including kids’ favourites Moshi Monsters and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. A great gift for those creative kids out there.
