Kids Casual Jacket Shopping Tips
Casual jackets are great pieces for kids and can be worn to and from the resort or perhaps under your child’s ski jacket on very cold days. Kids casual jackets simply don’t have the same high quality waterproof and breathable fabrics, insulating properties and skiing or snowboarding friendly features. While there are better jackets to ski or snowboard in casual jackets are great items to have.
Kids casual jackets on Skis.com are available for boy, girls, and toddlers. The refinements in the left navigation menu give you the opportunity to sort our selection of kids jackets by gender or by size. Toddler jackets are available in size 2T to size 6X. Casual jackets for boys or girls begin at a size 7 and are available in size up to 20 depending on the brand and model.
Many of the kids casual jackets available on Skis.com are fleece styles like The North Face Denali, one of the most popular casual jackets on the market. The Denali is great to wear in the spring and fall or with a shell jacket for skiing or snowboarding. A kids casual jacket like a The North Face Denali is a great piece to pack in your ski bag to wear instead of a full ski jacket during lunch or hot chocolate breaks.
Other styles of kids casual jackets include down jackets and soft shells. Down jackets also know as puffy jackets, can either be insulated with down feathers or synthetic insulation. Synthetic insulation is typically more common on casual jackets as it is generally less expensive than down feathers. These styles of casual jackets aren’t waterproof and therefore aren’t recommended for skiing without a waterproof shell over the top, but they do provide excellent warmth. Soft shell jackets are on the opposite end of the spectrum, as they are generally waterproof but aren’t insulated. Soft shell material typically has great stretch and moves with the body well. In addition to lacking insulation, soft shell jackets don’t have powder skirts or wrist gaiters to keep the snow out in the event of a fall. For these reasons soft shell and other casual jackets aren’t recommended for skiing outerwear.
