I decided to get my kids raincoats this year because they love to be outside in all kinds of weather. They play hard so I wanted durable rain gear that would hold up against a lot of potential abuse. I googled raincoats and that is when I discovered Hatley Rainwear. They have the best designs for jackets and matching boots. I got my son one that has stars and actually glows in the dark. My daughter loves very girlie clothes, so I got her a pink one. All in all the coats and boots have held up very well, and they love sporting them.
