Children's Quarter Jackets

Shield jackets and the 3-layer rule

The smooth running of a sea trip is often decided before even departure. Indeed, the choice of equipment plays a vital role in the success of your outing, and it is important to understand how best to protect yourself from the elements. The 3 layer rule is today recognized as the most effective method for protecting yourself from cold and humidity.

The 3-layer rule:

• The first layer should be comfortable (under layer).
• The second should keep you warm (fleece).
• The last one should protect you from the rain (quarter jacket).

The different types of children's quarter jackets

The shift jacket must therefore protect your child from the rain. Its objective is not to keep him warm but to prevent water from entering. The first characteristic to look at when choosing a children's quarter jacket is therefore waterproofing.

Because if all shift jackets have the same purpose, they do not all offer the same protection.

• A coastal shift jacket will be effective in a downpour but will take on water in prolonged heavy rain.
• An offshore quarter jacket will be able to withstand long downpours. For an offshore sailing jacket, it is better to opt for waterproofing of at least 15,000 mm, to ensure effective protection.

Another criterion to take into account is breathability because certain maneuvers are very sporty and require good moisture wicking.
