Roar Trail Boys Dinosaur Hooded Jacket

If your son is dinosaur-obsessed, you already know how hard it is to find anything he will actually agree to wear without a fuss. The Roar Trail jacket was made for exactly that boy – the one who can name a Stegosaurus from across the room and refuses to leave the house without a dinosaur somewhere on his outfit.

This is a lightweight boys hooded waterproof jacket covered edge to edge in a hand-drawn dinosaur print – T-Rex, Stegosaurus, Triceratops and more, scattered across a crisp white background in bold red, blue, green and yellow. It is waterproof, wind resistant, and built for the kind of daily wear that nursery, school and weekend adventures put a jacket through.

For parents, the practical side matters just as much as the fun print. The full-length front zip makes dressing fast, even when he is wriggling to get back outside. The lightweight polyester build folds flat for easy storage, and at £14.99 with free UK delivery, you will not be precious about it picking up a bit of mud in the name of dinosaur-hunting.

Colour and Design

The jacket comes in a crisp white base, which makes the dinosaur print the clear focus of the design. It is a lighter, brighter alternative to navy if you are looking for something that stands out at the school gates or in photos from a day out.

The all-over print is illustrated in a hand-drawn, sketch-like style rather than a flat cartoon graphic, which gives it a more detailed and characterful look. T-Rex, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Brachiosaurus and Pterodactyl-style dinosaurs appear in red, blue, green and yellow across the front, back, sleeves and hood, with scribbled line details that make each dinosaur feel slightly different from the next.

Because the print covers the entire jacket rather than sitting as a single chest motif, there are no plain panels anywhere – every angle has dinosaurs on it. This makes it a strong choice for any boy with a genuine dinosaur obsession, since there is detail to spot and talk about all over the jacket, not just from the front.

White works well alongside most of what is already in a boy’s wardrobe – navy, denim, grey, red and khaki all pair easily with it – though as with any lighter colour, everyday play and mud are part of the deal, so do check our care section below for keeping it looking fresh.

Product Specifications

Built for Real Life, Not Just Rainy Days

The outer shell is made from lightweight polyester that repels water without adding bulk or stiffness. He can run, climb and play without feeling weighed down. For more on why polyester is one of the most reliable choices for kids outerwear, our guide on what you need to know about polyester covers durability, care and performance in plain terms.

The soft polyester lining sits smoothly against clothing, so there is no scratching or bunching when he moves. On cooler days, the relaxed fit leaves enough room to layer a thin long-sleeve top or light jumper underneath without the jacket pulling or restricting movement.

The attached hood sits close to the head and gives proper coverage when the rain comes in sideways. The full-length zip runs right to the chin so there is no cold gap at the neck, and the elasticated cuffs seal the wrists against rain and wind sneaking up the sleeves. Small details that make a big difference on a cold school run.

Wind resistance is worth calling out separately. A jacket that keeps rain out but lets the wind through will still leave your child cold and uncomfortable. The Roar Trail handles both, which means it works on blustery days as well as wet ones – useful when British weather cannot decide what it wants to do.

The jacket packs down flat easily, so it is a natural fit for nursery bags, buggy baskets, holiday suitcases and day trip backpacks. Throw it in on the way out the door and it will not take up meaningful space, which matters if this becomes the jacket he wants to wear nearly every day through autumn and spring.

How to Layer This Jacket

The Roar Trail works across all four 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 jacket blocks the chill and keeps the rain off without overheating.

Summer showers: The lightweight build means it can go straight over a short-sleeve top on a warm day when an unexpected shower hits. It will not cause overheating during short bursts of activity.

Cooler winter days: Layer a thin padded gilet or a warm jumper underneath and the relaxed fit accommodates this without pulling at the shoulders or restricting the arms. The wind resistance makes a meaningful difference in cold weather.

Perfect For

• Nursery and school runs
• Rainy days at the park
• Outdoor adventures
• UK holidays and camping
• Walking and day trips
• Everyday casual wear

This jacket covers the full range of what a toddler or young boy actually does day to day – and gives him a reason to talk about dinosaurs at every single one of them. Whether it is the morning nursery drop-off in drizzle, a muddy walk at the weekend, or a trip to a museum with a dinosaur exhibit, the Roar Trail fits right in.

If you are also kitting out a girl at the same time, the Secret Garden girls waterproof jacket and the girls rain jacket collection are both 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. Our full boys size guide is also available if you need additional reference.

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

As this jacket is a lighter colourway, washing it separately from darker garments on the first few washes will help keep the white base looking its best. Avoid fabric softener, as it can reduce water repellency 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

The Roar Trail has a lightweight waterproof outer shell that handles standard UK rain showers reliably, including school runs, park trips and outdoor play. For prolonged heavy downpours, pairing it with waterproof trousers will give full coverage from head to toe.

What age range does this jacket cover?

It is available in five sizes covering ages 1 to 6 years. Because children vary in height and build, we always recommend matching your child’s chest and height measurements to the size chart rather than choosing by age alone.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Do not bleach, do not tumble dry, and do not iron directly onto the print. Hang to dry. Avoid fabric softener to preserve the water-repellent finish.

Does the hood stay in place?

Yes. The attached hood is shaped to sit snugly over the head and gives solid rain coverage. It is a fixed hood rather than a drawstring-adjustable one, so on very windy days a thin hat underneath can help keep it in position for younger toddlers.

Is there room to layer a jumper underneath?

Yes. The relaxed fit leaves comfortable room for a thin long-sleeve top or light jumper underneath without the jacket pulling or restricting movement. There is no need to size up just to layer – your child’s correct size from the chart will accommodate a base layer.

Do I qualify for free delivery?

Yes. At £14.99, this jacket is above the £13 free UK delivery threshold so free standard shipping is applied automatically at checkout. Delivery typically takes 3 to 10 working days.

What if the size is wrong or it is not what I expected?

We offer a 30-day money back guarantee. Contact us within 30 days of receiving your order and we will arrange a return or exchange with no fuss.

Will the white background show dirt easily?

As with any lighter colourway, marks will show more than they would on navy or black. The polyester outer wipes clean easily for light marks, and the full care instructions above will keep it looking its best through regular washing.
