Jan & Jul Puddle-Dry Single Layer Rain Pants, Bear Mountain
Light, fully waterproof kids' rain pants that layer well, with no warmth or boot strap.
The short version
- Parents of toddlers and kids who play outside in mild, wet weather
- Families who want a waterproof shell to layer over snow gear or fleece
- You need warm pants for cold weather on their own
- Your child wears bulky winter boots and you want cuffs that stay put with a foot strap
- You prefer bib style rain pants that cannot slip down
What owners like
- Held up to sideways rain and wind in a parent reviewer's testing on active kids
- Durable through hard play such as kneeling and sliding on logs
- Light enough for shoulder seasons and roomy enough to layer over insulation
Common complaints
- No strap at the bottom of the leg, so cuffs can ride up over boots
- Only just fits over bulky snow and ski boots
- No warmth on its own; the fleece lined Cozy-Dry version is the colder weather option
Based on The Amazon product listing, a Canadian retailer listing with the maker's specs, and two Tales of a Mountain Mama articles on kids' rain gear.
