Kids Make a Splash with Ducksday

By Kelly Lee

One of the biggest problems with children being outside during inclement weather is the damp. When it rains, socks, the bottoms of trousers, and the edges of sleeves typically all suffer, leaving school-aged children feeling uncomfortable throughout the day. Snowfall causes more anxiety, since kids who are bundled up warmly will sweat and expose themselves to the extreme cold. Playing hours in the snow typically also leads to hours in the laundry — wet suits need to be washed and dried. Companies that create outdoor gear with an eye on breathability and functionality earn customer loyalty.

Belgian powerhouse Ducksday has built strong brand recognition in Europe. The company is known for its ability to help kids shrug off dreary days and keep the fun rolling when the snow falls. It recently took home the ISPO (Innovative Sports Business Products) Award for 2013 for its rain gear. Now it is making a name Stateside with stunning results.

Gear that Keeps Kids Going

Ducksday’s emphasis on creating durable, breathable and waterproof outdoor wear for children has customers lining up. Its outdoor wear for children is constructed from breathable fabrics that allow for the maximum amount of motion. The suits are also a snap to clean, with most stains just wiping off with a damp cloth. Its rain gear and snow suits are waterproof, ensuring that a child with Ducksday has the best time possible while out of doors. Parents will breathe a sigh of relief with the sturdy construction and easy-on, easy-off designs.

The Ducksday Rain suit in Funky Green (also available in many other colors) will enchant children and thrill parents. Available for infants 6 months to children 5 years old, it sports waterproof zippers and taped seams. The sleeves and hood have Velcro to allow for size adjustment.

One piece snowsuits are available in a range of easy-on-the-eye styles (think houndstooth) for children ages 6-10. These sport a detachable hood and Thinsulate fleece lining, sure to keep kids toasty in freezing weather. The outer shell is created from 100% nylon and is waterproof. Waterproof zippers and taped seams round out the package, making these one of the finest suits for children on the market today. Ducksday also produces accessories, like water-repellant mittens that match the snowsuits, and a line of UV-protective summer wear.
