Patagonia Kids' Clothing

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do Patagonia kids' jackets perform in wet and snowy conditions?

  Patagonia uses H2No® Performance Standard waterproofing and PFC-free DWR finishes on many shell and rain jacket styles, plus fully taped seams on selected models for reliable wet-weather protection. For insulated options, Nano Puff® (synthetic insulation) retains more warmth when damp and dries faster, while Down Sweater styles provide excellent warmth when kept dry.
• How should I size Patagonia kids' clothing and plan for layering?

  Patagonia offers sizes from 0–24M, 2T–4T, and 4–20; their kids' pieces tend toward lightweight, slightly trim fits designed for layering and hand‑downs rather than bulky cuts. For cold-weather use, size to allow a snug base layer (Capilene®) and a midlayer (Synchilla® fleece) beneath a shell, and for growing kids choose a fit that permits one insulating layer without restricting movement.
• What’s the difference between the Nano Puff® Jacket and the Down Sweater for kids?

  The Nano Puff® uses synthetic insulation that maintains loft and warmth when wet and dries more quickly, making it great for damp climates or active kids who may get sweaty. The Down Sweater uses natural down for superior warmth-to-weight and compressibility in dry, cold conditions but requires keeping dry to perform best.
