Waterproof Zip-Up Jacket with Hood and Storm Flap, Ages 2 to 10 Years
This sunshine print waterproof jacket is built for actual rain rather than just a light drizzle. Smiling sun faces with rosy cheeks cover a sky blue background, and the water-repellent fabric sheds rain rather than soaking through, so it holds up properly on a wet school run or an afternoon spent jumping in puddles.

Why Kids Love It (and Parents Do Too)
Not every rainy day print needs to be gendered towards one side of the aisle, and a cheerful sunshine face works well for that reason, it suits a boy or a girl without leaning heavily either way. The sleepy, smiling suns with rosy cheeks give it a warm, friendly feel that tends to appeal across a wide age range, from toddlers right up through early school age.
For parents, the zip with a snap-button storm flap gives proper coverage at the front, and it is a genuinely useful design for keeping rain out rather than just looking the part. Combined with the water-repellent fabric, it is a practical option for the wetter months rather than just a fair-weather layer.
Colours and Print Detail
The jacket has a sky blue background printed with smiling sun faces in yellow, each with closed, happy eyes and soft pink blush marks on the cheeks. The hood is lined in a matching pale blue, and the front closes with a zip topped by a snap-button storm flap for extra weather protection at the collar.

Use your child’s chest measurement below rather than age alone to choose the best fit, since children of the same age can vary quite a bit in build. Our guide on how children’s clothes sizes work has more detail if you are converting from another size system.

1cm = 0.39 inches. Please allow a margin of around 3cm either way, as all measurements are taken by hand. Actual colours may look very slightly different on screen depending on your device.
