What to look for in a puddle suit

There's a lot of choice when it comes to puddle suits, so how do you tell the difference between a good puddle suit and a great one? This is what you should look out for when puddle suit shopping for your little one:

  • Waterproofing
  • Breathable fabrics
  • Taped seams
  • Elasticated cuffs
  • Foot stirrups

It's worth looking out for efficient waterproofing, breathable fabrics with taped seams, elasticated tight cuffs and foot stirrups. Some of the more advanced puddle suits also come with a fabric waterproof rating too. This waterproof rating is measured in millimetres and refers to the pressure at which water is able to press through the fabric. A minimum rainproof rating to look for is 1,500mm, but anything between that and 5,000mm is suitable for everyday wear. For more adventurous excursions, a higher rating of up to 10,000mm is recommended.
