Original Waterproof Jackets for Kids
Keeping children dry and comfortable during outdoor adventures is essential for active play in all weather. The Original waterproof jackets for kids from Dry Kids are designed to provide dependable protection from rain while remaining lightweight and comfortable enough for everyday use.
Made from durable waterproof fabric with taped seams, these jackets help keep rain out while allowing children to move freely during playtime, school activities or family outings. Whether they are exploring muddy trails, heading to school, or taking part in outdoor learning, a reliable waterproof jacket ensures they stay warm and dry.
Alongside dependable rain protection, the fabrics we use are Free from PFAs and microplastics. This reflects a considered approach to materials, ensuring children’s waterproof clothing is designed with both functionality and environmental awareness in mind.
Our Original Jackets collection includes a wide range of bright colours and practical designs suitable for children of all ages. These jackets are designed to be worn with other waterproof clothing from the Dry Kids range, helping create a complete wet-weather outfit for school, forest school or everyday outdoor adventures.
Parents looking for full waterproof protection can also pair these jackets with children’s waterproof trousers from the Dry Kids range, including the Original Over Trousers collection.
Designed for Everyday Outdoor Play
Children spend a lot of time outdoors, whether it’s running around the playground, walking to school or exploring nature. Our Original waterproof jackets are designed to be practical for everyday use while providing reliable rain protection.
The lightweight design allows children to wear the jacket comfortably over school uniforms or casual clothing. It can easily be packed into a bag and taken along for school trips, camping weekends or family walks.
Many families choose these jackets because they offer a simple solution for unpredictable weather, helping children stay comfortable during rain showers without restricting movement.
For full body waterproof protection, many parents combine these jackets with original waterproof sets.
Practical Features for Active Kids
Our Original Jackets include practical design features that make them suitable for active children and busy families.
Waterproof Fabric and Taped Seams
The jackets are made from durable waterproof material with taped seams to help prevent rain from penetrating through stitching during wet conditions.
Comfortable Fit for Layering
These jackets are designed to fit comfortably over everyday clothing, allowing children to wear them over jumpers or school uniforms when the temperature drops.
Lightweight and Packable
Unlike bulky outerwear, these waterproof jackets are lightweight enough to pack into a school bag or rucksack when not needed.
Easy to Wear
Simple closures and practical designs help children put their jackets on independently, which is especially useful for younger children at school or nursery.
Ideal for School and Forest School Activities
Many schools encourage outdoor learning throughout the year, meaning children need reliable waterproof clothing to stay comfortable.
The Original Jacket range is particularly popular with:
- Primary schools
- Outdoor nurseries
- Forest school programmes
- Playgroups and childcare providers
Children taking part in forest school activities often need durable waterproof layers that allow them to explore muddy environments while remaining protected from the rain. You can learn more about recommended clothing on the Forest School Clothing page.
Schools and organisations can also explore bulk purchasing options through the Schools page.

Designed for All Seasons
The Original Jackets are designed to be versatile enough for use throughout the year.
During warmer months, they provide lightweight rain protection for outdoor play. In colder weather, they can be layered over jumpers or thermal clothing for added warmth.
Children who spend extended time outdoors may also benefit from waterproof accessories such as PU hats.
For messy creative activities, paint smocks can also help protect clothing during art and craft sessions.
Easy Care and Maintenance
Children’s outdoor clothing needs to be durable and easy to maintain. Dry Kids waterproof jackets are designed for simple cleaning after muddy adventures.
Most dirt can be wiped off or removed during washing according to the product care guidelines.
This helps keep the jackets performing well even with regular use.
Finding the Right Size
Choosing the correct size ensures children remain comfortable and protected during outdoor play. Our jackets are available in a wide range of sizes to suit toddlers through to older children.
Because these jackets are designed to be worn over clothing, they provide room for layering during colder months. For detailed measurements and guidance, refer to the sizing guide.
