Softshell or PU-coated?

Softshell rainwear is made in waterproof recycled polyester with taped seams. This means it will keep out water for a while but not all day. With its lightweight and breathable quality it is the ideal choice for drizzly to moderately rainy days.

PU-coated rainwear is also made in waterproof recycled polyester but with an added coating and welded seams. This means your kids will stay dry all day - even in heavy rain. A sturdier choice for when the weather calls for it.

So in short: Softshell is for drizzly weather while PU-coated is for heavy downpours. See table for a quick overview.
