What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I like Kairala for kids on storm days-12k waterproofing, full seam taping, and legit breathability handle chairlift drips and snowball battles. The detachable safety hood is smart in trees, the powder skirt snaps away for town, and inner wrist gaiters seal gaps with gloves. The sleeve pass pocket speeds lift lines, and the 6cm Room-to-Grow means it lasts through another season."We trust Reima to build gear that keeps kids happy outside, and the Kairala Jacket is a go-to for lessons, sled hills, and weekend family laps. It stays dry and cozy so young skiers can focus on fun, not cold zippers and damp layers. A 12,000mm ReimaTec shell with fully taped seams blocks sleet and blower; excellent breathability regulates heat during nonstop play. Warm recycled insulation is tuned for roughly 35 to -5 degF (0 to -20 degC), and the smooth lining glides over midlayers. Kid-friendly features include a safe, detachable hood with visor, a snap-away powder skirt, adjustable hem and cuffs with soft inner wrist gaiters, and a sleeve ski-pass pocket. Built with bluesign(R) approved fabrics, a fluorocarbon-free finish, and recycled REPREVE(R) insulation-and it tumble-dries low. The 6cm Room-to-Grow adds welcome longevity between growth spurts.
