Sizing Info

So that you can confidently order the right size, here are size details and conversion charts for the products by manufacturer.

Kiba Rainwear

The Kiba products are produced in two ranges: the Kiba Flex range and the Kiba Oekotex range. These are very similar qualities of product but the sizing systems differ and the cut of the jackets is slightly different. All Kiba 2 piece suits and trousers are from the Kiba Flex range, where-as the Kiba separates jackets & dungarees are offered from both ranges.

Kiba Flex Sizing (Kiba Suits, Kiba Flex Jackets, Dungarees & Trousers)

The Kiba Flex range is sized by child age. Guidelines for height measurements by childs age are as follows:

Suit Size (age)	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Child's height (cm)	86	92	98	104	110	116	122	128	134	140

The Kiba Flex Suits are sized by age and comprise of jacket and dungarees sizes age 1 to age 5, and from age 6 upwards the suits comprise of jacket and trousers. Like the Kiba Suits, the Kiba Flex Separates are sized by age. Trousers are available in sizes from age 5. Dungarees are sized from age 1; both trousers and dungarees are offered up to age 8.

For both the Kiba suits and the separates, sizing is standard, so if you buy your child's age you'll get a good fit now, but best suited for light layers underneath. We recommend buying up a size to have more room for extra layers and another season's wear; this is particularly recommended for the Kiba Suit jacket and trouser suits.

For all Kiba Flex items, sleeve cuffs and ankles are elasticated, holding them in place even where sleeves and legs are long, and the bottom of the jacket is loosely elasticated. The dungarees are all adjustable at the shoulders, and for the trousers the waist is elasticated, with good firm elastic to keep the trousers in place even for the most energetic of play! Both trousers and dungarees have stirrup straps to hold them in place under the feet.

Kiba Oekotex Sizing (Kiba Oekotex Print Jackets)

The Kiba Oekotex range is sized by child height rather than child age (used in the Kiba Flex range). Jackets are generously cut in a slighly longer line than the Kiba Flex range, with lots of room for warm layers underneath. The manufacturers size reflect the child's height accurately in centimetres. If your child is towards the top end of the height range, you'll have a lovely fit, but little room for growth, if you buy up, expect to have to hitch up a bit this year, but with room for next year too. Cuffs, ankles and the trouser waistband are elasticated, so that they will stay in place, and dungarees have good adjustable shoulder straps to fit a wide range of heights.

If you can't get the child's height measurement, the table below gives an indication of garment size by age.

Garment Size	Rough Age Range
80/86cm	age 18m-24m
92/98cm	2-3yrs
104/110cm,	4-5yrs
116/122cm	6-7yrs
128/134cm	8-9yrs

Elka

Elka suits are sized to fit the heights below.

Suit Size (age)	1	2	3	4	6	8	10	12
Child's height (cm)	86	92	98	104	116	128	140	152

The Elka Suits are sized by age and comprise of jacket and dungarees sizes age 1 to age 3, and from age 4 upwards the suits comprise of jacket and trousers. Separates are not available from Elka.

In our experience the manufacturers size reflect the child's height accurately in centimetres. If your child is towards the top end of the height range, you'll have a good fit, but little room for layers or growth, if you buy up, expect to have to hitch up a bit this year, but with room for next year too. Jackets are not a particularly long style, reflecting the protection provided by the leggings. Cuffs, ankles and the trouser waistband are elasticated, so that they will stay in place even if the suit is on the large side, and dungarees have good adjustable shoulder straps to fit a wide range of heights.

Ocean

Ocean suits and separates are sized to fit the heights below:

Suit Size (age)	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	12
Child's height (cm)	86	92	98	104	110	116	122	128	134	140	152

The Ocean Suits are sized by age and comprise of jacket and dungarees sizes age 1 to age 5, and from age 6 upwards the suits comprise of jacket and trousers. Trousers are available in sizes from age 1 to age 10. Dungarees are available in sizes from age 1 to age 8. Natural Rubber wellies are available in sizes from Euro 19 to Euro size 26.

In our experience the manufacturers size reflect the child's height accurately in centimetres. If your child is towards the top end of the height range, you'll have a good fit, but little room for layers or growth, if you buy up, expect to have to hitch up a bit this year, but with room for next year too. Cuffs and ankles are elasticated, so that they will stay in place, even if the suit is on the large side, and dungarees have good adjustable shoulder straps to fit a wide range of heights. Jackets are not a particularly long style, reflecting the protection afforded by the leggings.

Scandinavian Separates

Scandinavian Separates include offerings from both Kiba and Ocean. Both brands have very similar products, in the same fabrics, colours and sizing systems, however by presenting across these brands, our intention is to shelter our customers from stock availability gaps at either manufacturer, thereby presenting an easier shopping experience. Trousers are available in sizes from age 1 to age 10. Dungarees are available in sizes from age 1 to age 8. Both trousers and dungarees are elasticated at the bottom, with stirrup straps under the foot. Dungarees have good adjustable shoulder straps to fit a wide range of heights.

Scandinavian separates are sized to fit the heights below:

Suit Size (age)	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Child's height (cm)	86	92	98	104	110	116	122	128	134	140

Should you specifically require Kiba or Ocean dungarees or trousers, please select the preferred brand from the 'Rainwear Brands' menu options, and add to basket as required from there.

Souwesters

The Souwester hat sizes are European and relate to the circumference of the head in centimetres. Children's head sizes vary enormously, so the best way to find the right size is to measure the head around the widest part across the forehead. If you can't get to the child, a rough guide is shown in the table below.

Hat Size	Rough Age Range
S (48/50cm)	6 -12 months
M (52/54cm)	18m - 4 yrs
L (56-58cm)	5 yrs+

Regatta

Regatta garments in general come fairly standard sized, so if two seasons use and room for lots of layer underneath are required, consider buying up a size.

Regatta Puddlesuit All-in-One Suit Size

Elastic round cuffs and ankles in Puddlesuit mean that sleeves and legs will stay in place and/or can be rolled up to fit. Puddle suits are also elasticated at the waist, so we recommend buying up a size (particularly for children under 2 years) if requiring bulky layers underneath during the colder months.

AGE / SIZE	6-12m	12-18m	18-24m	24-36m	36-48m	48-60m

Regatta Jacket and Trouser Sizes

Packaway Jackets have elasticated cuffs and Packaway Trousers have elasticated waistbands. The largest size over-trousers are 26" and 28" - these correspond to sizes 32" and 34".

Togz

Togz All in One Sizes
Both the Wellie Weather and the Warm and Dry (Fleecy) All in One Suits are generously cut with room for warm layers underneath. Sleeves are generously long, with velcro at the cuffs to hold them comfortably in place. The suits are styled with an extra long body and zip to make sure your child gets as long a wear as possible from them. The suits are sized to fit up to the heights shown below. Since the cuts are generous, only if the child is approaching the upper limit of the height for an age, should you order up a size. The 130cm suits are currently manufactured only in Navy/Royal Blue and in the Wellie Weather Style.

Size/Age	9-12m	12-18m	18-24m	2 yrs	3 yrs	4 yrs	5 yrs	6/7yrs
Height cm	76	83	90	97	104	110	120	130
Height In	30	32.5	35.5	38	41	43	47	51

Togz Overbooties are one size up to 2 years, with room for shoes underneath. They are ideal for babies and toddlers not yet ready for wellies.

Trespass

Jacket sizing is standard, but not generous, so consider buying up an age if two seasons wear is expected. In our opinion, although children's head do vary enormously in size, the hats sizing is standard. Salopettes and Ski Suits seem generous, so we do not recommend buying up in size. We recommend that you consider buying up an age for the mittens which are small fitting - although the gloves with fingers we consider are standard size.

AGE	2/3	3/4	5/6	7/8	9/10	11/12	13/14	15/16
HEIGHT	92-98cm	98-104cm	110-116cm	122-128cm	134-140cm	146-152cm	158-164cm	170- 176cm

Dare 2b

In our experience, jacket sizing is standard, however the salopettes are quite generously sized (although the braces mean that they will stay up), and we do not recommend buying up in size. The Dare 2b waterproof mitts size 2/3yr is very small indeed; suitable for a baby.

The largest sized-trousers are 26" and 28" - these correspond to jacket sizes 32" and 34" shown below .

AGE / SIZE	2	3-4	5-6	7-8	9-10	11-12	32"	34"

EUR CONVERSION	92	104	116	128	140	152	164	176

Playshoes

Playshoes clothing is sized to fit up to the heights shown below. The jackets and dungarees are generously sized, only if the child is approaching the upper limit of the height, would we recommend that you order up in size. The trousers are generously cut, but not hugely long in the leg, and they are not elasticated at the bottom.

Child's height (cm)	86	92	98	104	116	128	140
