A child's vest should keep the back covered when climbing and crouching. Leave room for a jumper beneath without creating large gaps around the armholes.
Key points
Check back length while crouching and raising arms.
Your child should be able to use the zip independently.
Fleece works well as an extra layer beneath a jacket.
Bear in mindIt warms the torso without adding bulky sleeves. Check that both collars sit comfortably together.
Cool playground days
ChooseA synthetic insulated vest
Bear in mindPadding holds warmth around the body. For long periods standing still, arms and hands need extra cover too.
Dry cold
ChooseA down vest
Bear in mindThe filling provides warmth in a small packed size. Keep it dry beneath a suitable outer jacket in wet weather.
Nursery and everyday wear
ChooseAn easy full-length fastening
Bear in mindYour child should be able to open and remove the vest quickly when it gets warm indoors.
What to look for
Question
In brief
Why
How much room?
In briefTry it over the jumper
WhyA tight armhole presses on layers beneath. An overly wide opening lets air enter at the sides.
How long?
In briefKeep the back covered at play
WhyThe vest should not ride far above the waistband when crouching or stretching. Too much length can bunch when sitting.
Which collar?
In briefKeep the chin comfortable
WhyA cover over the zip end can help. Ask your child to close it fully and turn their head both ways.
How much warmth?
In briefConsider movement
WhyRunning needs less insulation than watching. A vest is an extra layer that is easy to remove and pack away.
Common questions
Does a vest replace a jacket?
It may be enough on mild, dry days. In rain or cold wind the arms need protection too. Plan a suitable outer jacket over the vest and jumper.
Can I buy it larger?
Some room for a jumper helps. If it slips at the shoulders or leaves large side gaps, it is too big for a good fit. Start with current body measurements.
Fleece or padding for nursery?
Fleece is useful indoors and as a middle layer. A padded vest suits cooler journeys outside. Your child should be able to open or remove it when warm.
How do I dry a down vest?
Follow the care label. The filling must dry fully and separate again. Only then store it in a cupboard or stuff sack; avoid keeping it tightly compressed for long periods.
