Kids' Rain Jackets: Waterproof Protection for Every Adventure
Our kids' rain jackets keep children dry and comfortable in wet weather — from the school run and outdoor play to hiking and travel. All models use TEXAPORE CORE, a fully waterproof, windproof and breathable membrane, and come with reflective details for visibility in low light. The range covers sizes 92 to 176, with lightweight packable styles for everyday use and 3-in-1 compatible options for variable conditions.
Weather Protection and Key Features
Every jacket in the range is built on TEXAPORE CORE — waterproof to 10,000 mm and breathable to 6,000 g/m²/24h. In practical terms: children stay dry in persistent rain while moisture from activity escapes, so they don't overheat on the way to school or during outdoor play.
Water-resistant zips provide additional protection at the fastenings, and all models include a fixed hood that can be adjusted to fit securely over a helmet or winter hat. Reflective details and logos improve visibility in poor light and at dusk — relevant for early school runs and darker winter afternoons.
Most models include a soft mesh lining for comfortable wear directly against the skin, and adjustable cuffs and hem allow for a close fit that keeps wind and rain out without restricting movement.
Choosing the Right Style
Lightweight packable styles are the most versatile option - some weighing as little as 250g and folding down small enough to fit in a school bag. These suit daily use, travel and mild outdoor activities where a full winter jacket is too much. Several models use TEXAPORE CORE SOFT TASLAN fabric for a particularly soft, comfortable feel.
3-in-1 compatible styles include a Kids & Youth system zip that connects directly to a compatible fleece or insulating inner jacket - useful for variable conditions where temperature shifts throughout the day. These models work as a lightweight rain shell alone, or as a complete warm-weather system combined.
Girls' specific cuts feature an A-line silhouette for extra freedom of movement and a more tailored fit. Some styles include iridescent logo details as a design feature.
For colder conditions, an insulated version with TEXATHERM CORE fill is available in the range - waterproof and breathable with added warmth for autumn and winter use.
FAQ
Are the jackets suitable for school use as well as outdoor activities?
Yes. The lightweight, packable styles are designed with everyday use in mind — compact enough for a school bag, durable enough for playground use and reliable in rain. Reflective details add visibility on the commute.
What does TEXAPORE CORE mean in practice?
TEXAPORE CORE is Jack Wolfskin's waterproof and breathable membrane. A waterproof rating of 10,000 mm means the jacket withstands sustained rain without letting water through. The breathability rating of 6,000 g/m²/24h means moisture from activity escapes, keeping children comfortable during movement.
Can the rain jacket be combined with a fleece inner jacket?
Yes - models with a Kids & Youth system zip connect directly to compatible Jack Wolfskin fleece or insulating inner jackets. This creates a 3-in-1 system with three wearing options: outer jacket alone, inner jacket alone or both combined for full winter warmth.
How do I care for a kids' TEXAPORE rain jacket?
Wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a specialist outdoor detergent - avoid fabric softener, which clogs the membrane and reduces breathability. Air dry away from direct heat. Reproof regularly with a suitable spray or wash-in proofer to maintain the water-repellent finish.
