Why choose a children's ski suit?

Children's ski suits remain the preferred choice for parents on the slopes. Unlike separate jackets and pants, this garment provides complete protection against the cold and snow. It's simply the most practical solution to ensure your children are warm and safe on the slopes. Also, check out our full range of ski suits for the whole family.

The advantages of ski suits

A ski suit is essential for children. Here's what makes it so great:

• Excellent protection: it prevents snow from getting in around the waist during falls or rolls, in the mountains as well as in resorts.
• Optimal insulation: with no gaps, the cold doesn't penetrate. Your children stay warm all day long.
• An undeniable practical advantage: only one garment to put on, ideal for busy mornings.
• Total freedom of movement: the cuts are designed to accompany the movements of young skiers, whether skiing or snowboarding.
• Simplified care: only one garment to wash and dry after a good day on the slopes.

How to choose the right ski suit for your child

To find the right equipment for your child, it's easier to base your decision on several criteria:

• Waterproofing: expressed in mm Schmerber, it must reach at least 5,000 mm for effective protection against wet snow. High-end models reach up to 10,000 or 20,000 mm.
• Breathability: measured in g/m²/24h, it wicks away perspiration. Opt for a minimum of 5,000 g/m²/24h for all-day comfort.
• Thermal insulation: depending on how sensitive your child is to the cold and the conditions in the resort, opt for synthetic or down filling, guaranteeing optimal warmth.
• Size: Measure your child and consult the size guides. Allow for a reasonable growth margin for the entire season.
• The finishing touches: snow gaiters, removable hood, zipped pockets and reflective strips for safety are particularly well thought-out features.

Essential accessories for children's skiing

A ski suit alone isn't enough to protect your child from the cold. Complete their gear with suitable accessories to fully enjoy winter. For babies and toddlers, discover our selection dedicated to skiing for babies and children under 6 years old.

Hats and balaclavas

The head is a major source of heat loss. A warm hat or balaclava worn under a helmet helps retain body heat throughout the day. Remember to also protect your neck with a neck warmer or full balaclava, which are especially well-suited for younger riders.

Gloves and mittens

Your extremities are sensitive to the cold. Here are your options:

• Waterproof and insulated ski gloves for greater dexterity
• Mittens for those who get cold easily: fingers warm each other up
• A spare pair of gloves is essential to keep your hands dry.

Thermal socks and underwear

Technical ski socks prevent chafing and keep feet dry. For your base layer, choose thermal underwear made of merino wool or synthetic material. These warm garments wick away moisture while retaining heat: essential items for a successful new season.

FAQ: How to prepare your child for skiing

How should I dress a child for skiing?

Apply the three-layer principle for a well-equipped child:

• First layer: a close-fitting thermal base layer to wick away perspiration
• Second layer: a fleece to retain heat
• Third layer: the ski suit as outer protection

Add a hat, gloves and ski socks for a complete outfit.

What should I wear under a child's ski suit?

Underneath the snowsuit, have your child wear thermal underwear (top and bottom) made of breathable material, and add a thin fleece layer. Avoid cotton, which absorbs moisture and makes the body feel cold.

Should you wear trousers under a ski suit?

No, regular trousers are not recommended. Simple thermal tights are sufficient. Thick trousers would restrict movement and could cause overheating.

How to choose the right size ski suit for a child?

Measure your child's height in centimeters and consult the brand's size guide. Sizes generally correspond to height (104 cm, 116 cm, 128 cm, etc.). Choose the next size up if your child is between sizes or to allow for growth throughout the season.

How much does a child's ski suit cost?

The price of a child's ski suit varies depending on the brand and technical features:

• Between 80 and 150 euros for an entry-level model
• From 150 to 300 euros for premium suits with better waterproofing and insulation

At Snowleader, enjoy free delivery from 199 euros and free returns within 60 days for the whole family.

From what age can a child go skiing?

Children can usually start skiing from the age of 3 in snow gardens. At this age, they have developed sufficient balance and coordination. For toddlers and babies, opt for short, fun sessions to introduce them to the joys of skiing in the mountains.
