What layers do children need in colder weather?
A good outdoor outfit is not just about the outer jacket. The layers underneath play an important role in helping children stay comfortable during changing weather and different activity levels.
The Black Friday selection includes:
- base layers for everyday outdoor activities,
- fleece layers,
- midlayers for added warmth,
- layering essentials for colder days.
Available for: Girls and boysSizes: 62–170 cm
What is the difference between a base layer and a midlayer?
Each layer has a different purpose.
Base Layer
The base layer is worn close to the body and helps manage moisture during activity.
Midlayer
The midlayer is the insulating layer worn between the base layer and the outerwear. Its role is to help retain warmth during colder conditions.
Outer Layer
The outer layer helps protect against wind, rain, snow and changing weather conditions.
Together, these layers create a flexible clothing system that can be adapted throughout the day.
Why does layering work so well for children?
Children rarely stay at the same activity level for long. They run, climb, play, rest and then head straight back into the action.
Layering makes it easier to adjust clothing to changing temperatures and activity levels without relying on one particularly heavy garment.
This flexibility helps support active outdoor adventures throughout the season.
Fleece or another midlayer?
Fleece remains one of the most popular midlayer options for children.
It works well for:
- nursery and school days,
- outdoor play,
- family walks,
- winter adventures,
- everyday activities in cooler weather.
Whatever the material, a good midlayer should allow freedom of movement. Layers that are too tight can make the whole layering system less effective.
What should children wear under a winter jacket?
The answer depends on the weather and activity level.
A practical clothing system often includes:
Base Layer
The first layer worn closest to the skin.
Midlayer
An insulating layer that provides additional warmth.
Outer Jacket
The protective outer layer designed for changing outdoor conditions.
This approach makes it easier to adapt clothing to different temperatures and activities throughout the day.
Why are base layers important?
Base layers are often the least visible part of an outdoor outfit, but they can make a significant difference to comfort during active days outside.
Combined with a midlayer and an outer jacket, they create a versatile system that supports outdoor play, winter adventures and everyday activities.
More Hours Outdoors
Outdoor adventures do not stop when temperatures drop. In Finland, children spend time outdoors throughout the year, adapting their clothing to the weather rather than staying indoors.
Since 1944, Reima has designed outdoor clothing for active childhoods. A well-chosen layering system helps children stay focused on exploring, playing and discovering the world around them.
