Straight from Scandinavia, Reima is a snow specialist; Finland is the home of Lapland after all! The Nordic way of parenting sees children playing outside year-round, experiencing the joy of movement regardless of weather. This is showcased throughout Reima’s AW20/21 offerings with new ski jackets, eco-friendly footwear and patterns inspired by Hyperborea; a race of giants that the Greeks believed lived ‘beyond the North Wind’.

Keep Kids Cosy with the Popular Lappi Snowsuit

A snug faux fur hood, which is detachable for safety, insulated seat and sealed waterproof seams will keep kids warm and dry in cold climates. Other features include elastic cuffs and leg ends, waist adjustment, detachable, durable silicone foot loops and a long zipper for easy dressing. Inside, a smooth polyester lining containing recycled fibres adds an eco-element to the snowsuit as well as Reima’s Play Layers snap buttons (to attach compatible fleeces directly to the snowsuit adding additional layers of warmth). The snowsuit has a BIONIC-FINISH®ECO finish which is water and dirt repellent. Sizes: 74 cm – 98 cm,

More Warmth – On Nature’s Terms

Layers: the best way to keep kids warm in cold temperatures. Typically, wool is the go-to material for outdoor enthusiasts; it provides an excellent warmth to weight ratio and works like a second skin. It absorbs moisture, naturally repels dirt (great for kids!)and odours and, by increasing the share of wool, Reima can decrease the amount of microplastic shedding.

This season, Reima’s new baselayer sets, such as the Taitoa (sizes: 80 cm – 60 cm, RRP: £60.00), are made from bamboo viscose and Merino wool. Soft against the skin, luxuriously warm and also a sustainable choice. Bamboo is a modest plant that grows at an amazing speed efficiently binding CO2.

Next, select a mid-layer such as the Blocks all-in-one for toddlers (sizes: 80 cm – 128 cm,) [right: Blocks in Tomato Red] or the Polmak sweater (sizes: 92 cm – 140 cm) that’s 100% wool for superior warmth or the Toimiva fleece (sizes: 80 cm – 140 cm) that’s made from recycled polyester from post-consumer PET packaging. Reima’s recycled synthetic mid-layer fabrics show their strength in actively wicking mosture away from the body during sports.

Green Footwear for the Win!

Reima’s AW20 show collection caters for all active kids’ needs – including for the chilliest of snow days. The sturdy, warm Laplander boot is completely fluorocarbon-free and offers premium grip on wet ice. On top of this, the Laplander boot is waterproof and has a sealed-seam insert. With 200 grams of insulation and elastic lacing for easy pull-on you could say they’re Arctic-proof! Completely vegan and with a safe reflective detail too, these boots have it all (sizes: EU 28 – 38)

*Why no fluorocarbons?

Perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) belong to a larger group known as fluorocarbons. All fluorocarbon water & dirt repellents are made with PFCs or using substances that can biodegrade to PFCs. Their performance is excellent, BUT they:
