Children’s Thermal Leggings

What should my child wear under waterproof or snow trousers in winter?

Under waterproof or snow trousers, a warm, close-fitting layer is especially practical. Fabric that is brushed on the inside keeps your child comfortably warm, stays breathable and fits easily under waterproof or snow trousers without too much fabric bunching up underneath.

That is why our thermal leggings work well as everyday trousers indoors and as a warm layer underneath when it gets wet or really cold outside.

For nursery and school, reinforced knees are especially practical for playing and kneeling on the floor. The grow-along length also helps the leggings fit for as much of the winter season as possible.

Warm, soft and ready for everyday winter life

Children sit on the floor, climb, run, slide and squat. That is exactly why we designed our thermal leggings so your child can move freely in them – just a little warmer.

The soft organic cotton fabric is brushed on the inside and keeps your child comfortably warm without the leggings feeling stiff or heavy. The high, soft waistband sits comfortably on the tummy and covers the back. You set it once with the buttonhole elastic – after that your child can simply put the leggings on and take them off on their own.

So they work just as well indoors as outdoors: at nursery, at school or on the playground. On really cold or wet days, your child can also wear them as a warm layer under waterproof or snow trousers.

Soft like leggings. Robust at the knee

Warm leggings are not much use if the first hole appears at the knee after a few weeks.

That is why we reinforce the knees with an abrasion-resistant 4-way stretch fabric. The patch withstands 100,000 rubs in the Martindale test and stays flexible, so your child is not restricted when climbing, kneeling and playing.

The knee patch is deliberately cut large. This keeps the knee area covered even as your child grows and the fit of the leggings changes.

Grows with your child

Children grow. That doesn't mean well-fitting trousers have to be too small straight away.

Our GrowProof™ thermal leggings accompany your child across 3–4 clothing sizes. You can make the waistband tighter or looser with the buttonhole elastic, and the long cuffs are turned up more or less depending on leg length.

At first the leggings fit a little looser – on slim children almost like trousers. As your child grows, they fit closer to the body without restricting freedom of movement.

So you don't have to buy the next size with every growth spurt.

Organic cotton and production in Europe

For the thermal leggings we use GOTS-certified organic cotton fabrics.

We design our trousers in Vienna and have them made in small batches in Europe. We also pay attention to the materials in the details: the buttons are made of corozo, and the packaging comes without plastic.
