Autumn is here – and with it, the complete weather chaos. In the morning, the car windows were still iced over, and you were desperately searching for last year’s gloves so your fingers wouldn't freeze. By noon, the sun is already so warm that a sweater is almost enough.
Which jacket is the right one now? A fleece jacket is still too chilly on the way to school in the morning, but the winter jacket is far too warm on the way home in the afternoon.
What if you could have both at once? We dug deep into our owl-bag of tricks and developed a smart 3-in-1 system with our zip-in jackets for kids that can truly be used all year round.
What is a Zip-in jacket for kids?
A zip-in jacket consists of an outer jacket and an inner jacket that can be connected with a zipper. Depending on the combination, this creates a light transition jacket, a rain jacket, or a warm winter jacket.
That makes it a real all-rounder for school, the playground, and outdoor adventures – in any season.
Where style meets function: What makes Zip-in jackets so practical
With the 3-in-1 jackets for kids, you hit three birds with one stone (or should we say: with one jacket?):
-
Your kids will always have the right jacket ready, all year round.
-
You save money that would otherwise be spent on summer, rain, transitional, and winter jackets.
-
And a bonus: suddenly you have a lot more closet space.
Here's how it works: The Turas and Variat jackets form the outer layer for your kids. They are windproof and waterproof, keeping the kids dry even when autumn hits full power with storms and rain.
If it’s still cool on the way to school in the morning, the kids simply zip in an Oda or Avan fleece jacket. The Zip-in system makes this super easy, and it’s done in no time, right between packing their lunch and the first school break.
When winter finally arrives with snow and ice, and your kids can barely wait to get their skis out of the basement, zip in our Glare PrimaLoft jacket instead of the fleece. It's feather-light, but don't let that fool you: it keeps them really warm and dry, even in icy temperatures. In combination with the Turas or Variant, it becomes the ultimate winter and ski jacket that is ready for any adventure.
True jacket love: The greatest benefits for kids (and parents)
When we really think about it, our 3-in-1 jacket is much more – it’s at least a 6-in-1 solution for the whole year.
-
The cozy fleece jacket keeps your kids warm on cool summer evenings.
-
Our Glare PrimaLoft jacket is perfect for romping around in the garden or at the campsite.
-
The waterproof and windproof Turas and Variat easily replace a simple rain jacket when it's wet outside but not cold.
With just three jackets, you're set for every season – except for the hottest days (but we have our swimming shorts for that!).
We know that every piece of clothing we buy leaves a footprint. We consume resources and energy, but we can consciously decide how big our footprint is. With three durable, robust Zip-in jackets for kids that will last you all year long, you save resources, money, and your sanity – while giving your kids exactly what they need: protection, comfort, and freedom of movement.
What to look for when buying a Zip-in jacket for kids
So that your Zip-in jacket can truly go the distance and stay with your kids all year, here are a few important things to look out for:
-
The outer layer should ideally be windproof and waterproof, so your child doesn't freeze, even on wet and cold autumn days.
-
If all the layers are made from breathable materials, sweat and moisture won't stand a chance on their skin.
-
High-quality zippers will easily survive being zipped up and down constantly.
-
If the Zip-in jacket system is uncomplicated, your kid can easily use it on their own at school or on the playground.
-
A great fit ensures maximum freedom of movement for playing, climbing, and romping.
All namuk Zip-in jackets are designed to fit together perfectly. Your kids can freely combine colors and models – making them ready for any adventure: building a snowman, charging through piles of leaves, climbing trees, or jumping through rain puddles.
A jacket that works smarter
A kids Zip-in jacket is the sustainable answer to changeable weather. It replaces several single jackets and adapts to every season. This way, your children stay protected, you save resources – and together you ensure that consumption is less, but better.
