How to store kids' winter clothes
It’s easy to forget about winter clothes once spring rolls around, but storing them right now can make all the difference. With these simple steps, packing up kids' winter gear is quick, keeping it ready for the next cold season.
Preparing kids' winter clothes for storage
Handle with care: even if clothes seem clean, give them a wash. Small stains can set over months, so cleaning now keeps them fresh for next winter. Read how to wash Reima outerwear here.

Storing kids' winter clothes right
Outerwear and boots
Hang waterproof jackets, pants and snowsuits in a cool, dark place to protect their waterproof membranes.
Keep kids' winter boots in shape by storing them upright and stuffing with paper.
Down jackets and snowsuits
Store down products loosely and in a well-ventilated space, laying them flat. Make sure the clothes are dry before storing. Read how to wash down products here.
Cotton and wool
Choose proper storage for wool and cotton, using sealed boxes to keep out bugs and sun. Vacuum bags work well if you’re short on space.
Organize by size and season
Label by size and season to make finding and reusing items easier next winter.
By following these simple tips for storing winter clothes, you can ensure that your kid’s outerwear, boots, and winter accessories remain in top condition for the next winter season. Proper cleaning, repair, and storage not only protect your investment but also make it easier to find what you need when winter arrives again.
