The Loktarc kids' rain jacket is built from a 100% polyester base with a polyurethane (PU) exterior coating, creating a lightweight wind-chill barrier for school and playground use. Its compact design allows it to be folded down easily into a school bag, providing a convenient option for unpredictable weather. While the hydrophobic laminate effectively sheds light moisture and mist, the single-stitched seams are not heat-taped, which means moisture may eventually find its way through during prolonged exposure to heavy rainfall.
Specifications indicate a fabric thickness of approximately 0.12mm, which prioritizes portability over high-abrasion resistance. The interior is lined with a thin polyester mesh that helps keep the outer shell from sticking to the skin, though it provides minimal insulation on its own. The jacket features a resin coil zipper and an integrated hood for head coverage. Useful functional elements include:
- Elasticized cuffs to help prevent water from entering the sleeves.
- A mesh lining to improve air gap comfort.
- Fade-resistant pigments that stay bright even after several washes.
Because the material is non-breathable, it can retain heat during high-energy activities, which may lead to some internal dampness from perspiration. The plastic zipper pull is designed for ease of use by children but should be handled with care to prevent breakage. This unit is best utilized as a temporary shield for short walks to the bus or school building rather than as technical gear for all-day outdoor excursions.
If you prefer a whimsical design that includes high-contrast safety colors for younger children, you might consider the duck-themed raincoat as an alternative.
