Rainbow Trail Kids Hooded Jacket

Bright, bold and made for any child, the Rainbow Trail jacket is a genuinely unisex hooded jacket built from bold horizontal stripes in red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. It is the kind of jacket that suits any child without sitting in a pink or blue aisle, and it is easy to spot in a crowded playground or busy car park.

The colourful stripe design runs continuously across the body, hood and sleeves, with two zip pockets finished in a contrasting red. A matching purple zip pull ties the whole look together. This jacket works equally well for a boy or a girl, and is a popular choice for siblings who like matching outerwear or for parents who simply want a jacket that does not lean toward one gender or the other.

For parents, the practical side matters just as much as the bright design. This jacket is windproof and waterproof, the lightweight build folds away easily for a school bag or nursery bag, and at £14.99 with free UK delivery, it is an easy and affordable way to add a cheerful, hard-working jacket to any child’s wardrobe.

Colour and Design

The jacket features bold horizontal stripes in red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, running consistently across the body, hood and sleeves so the design feels complete and intentional rather than a single chest motif or patch.

Unlike a printed pattern, this design uses solid blocks of colour in a classic rainbow stripe sequence, which gives the jacket a clean, graphic look that works well for both boys and girls. Two zip pockets are finished in a contrasting red, and a purple zip pull adds a small additional pop of colour at the front.

Because the stripe pattern is genuinely unisex, this jacket is a strong choice for siblings who want matching or coordinating outerwear, or for parents who prefer not to shop strictly within gender-specific colour palettes.

The rainbow stripe pairs easily with denim, white, grey or black, making it simple to style with almost anything already in a child’s wardrobe.

Product Specifications

Built for Everyday Wear

The outer shell is made from lightweight polyester that is windproof and waterproof, keeping your child comfortable on breezy days and through light rain without adding bulk. For more on why polyester is such a practical choice for kids outerwear, our guide on what you need to know about polyester covers durability and care in plain terms.

The soft inner lining sits comfortably against your child’s clothing without scratching or bunching, even during active play. The relaxed fit leaves enough room to layer a thin long-sleeve top or light jumper underneath on cooler days, without the jacket pulling or restricting movement.

The attached hood gives proper coverage on breezy or drizzly days, and the full-length zip runs right to the chin so there is no cold gap at the neck. The elasticated cuffs seal in warmth at the wrists, and the two zip pockets give little hands somewhere secure to keep small treasures from a walk, with the zip closure adding extra security over an open pocket.

The jacket folds down flat for easy storage, making it simple to keep in a school bag, nursery bag or car for whenever the weather turns.

How to Layer This Jacket

The Rainbow Trail works across several seasons in the UK with the right layering underneath.

Spring and autumn: A long-sleeve cotton top or thin fleece underneath is all that is needed. The relaxed fit accommodates a layer comfortably without restricting movement.

Summer evenings: The lightweight build means it works well over a short-sleeve top for cooler summer evenings or breezy days out.

Cooler days: Layer a thin jumper underneath and the relaxed fit will still sit comfortably without pulling at the shoulders.

This jacket suits everyday wear from the school run to a weekend at the park, and its genuinely unisex design makes it an easy pick for siblings, hand-me-downs, or any family who prefers not to shop strictly along gender lines. The two zip pockets are a small but practical touch for little hands that always want something to hold.

If you are shopping for siblings, our boys vehicle print rain jacket and girls cat print hooded jacket are also worth a look.

Size Guide

Use the measurements below rather than relying on age alone. Children of the same age can vary significantly in height and build, and getting the right fit makes a real difference to comfort and coverage. If your child sits between two sizes, we recommend sizing up to allow room for layering and a little growing room.

All measurements are taken flat and given in centimetres. For guidance on measuring your child at home, our article on how to take measurements for children’s clothes walks through it step by step.

Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a gentle cycle
• Wash with similar colours
• Do not bleach
• Hang to dry
• Do not tumble dry
• Do not iron directly onto the printed fabric

Avoid fabric softener, as it can reduce the water-repellent finish over time. For full guidance on washing and maintaining kids jackets so they last as long as possible, see our guide on how to care for kids jackets.
