Understanding Softshell
Softshell is a type of fabric that provides flexibility and breathability, making it ideal for outdoor activities. However, it doesn't provide warmth on its own.
- Softshell is lightweight and flexible
- It's breathable and moisture-wicking
- It's not suitable for cold weather without layering
Layering for Kids
When it comes to dressing kids for outdoor activities, layering is key. This allows you to adjust their clothing to suit the changing weather conditions.
- Base layer: choose moisture-wicking fabrics like merino wool or synthetic
- Mid-layer: add warmth with fleece or down
- Outer layer: softshell provides protection from wind and rain
