Top Quality + price pick

We love the lightweight Switchback II raincoat from Columbia, a rainproof windbreaker with freedom of movement perfect for school playgrounds or hiking in drizzles. 

While it's not built to block a heavy rainfall or storm, it's just peachy on rainy summer days. Because it isn't lined, your kid should wear a sweater layered underneath for cooler days in spring and autumn. 

Technically a girls coat, we suggest the Columbia Glennaker for boys - or if you want something for wetter days. 

Price: 0.00$

Pros

  • Price
  • Very lightweight 
  • Freedom of movement
  • Easy to layer underneath

Cons

  • Water-resistant, not waterproof
