The thermal lining undergone hot stamping process enhances its performance in warmth by 20% and reduces weight by 5%, making the jacket suitable for both kids' daily wear and outdoor sports.
- Inspiration
- Most kid's garments are designed primarily for daily wear with less safety. To enhance the outdoor experience and prioritize kid's safety, additional features in clothing are essential. This product uses a pro-level DermizaxPU nonporous membrane, known for its superior waterproof and moisture-permeable properties. The thermal lining, treated with a composite hot stamping process, plus quality goose down, makes the jacket suitable for various scenarios, including outdoor and indoor urban skiing.

Furthermore, the thermal lining, treated with a composite hot stamping process, enhances warmth retention by 20%. For areas prone to friction with the skin, we've incorporated soft, warm, and elastic silk velvet to ensure children's comfort.
