What size rain mittens should I choose?

Lenne's mitten sizing runs 1 to 8 by hand size rather than age, so check your child's current hand length against the size chart rather than ordering by age alone. Size 1 suits a small toddler hand and size 8 fits an older child's larger hand; if your child is between sizes, size up since mittens go on over sleeves.

What does the PU coating and welded seams actually mean for keeping hands dry?

The PU (polyurethane) coating makes the fabric itself waterproof, and welding the seams instead of stitching them means there are no needle holes for water to find its way through. Together that's what makes these fully waterproof rather than just water-resistant.

Are these mittens warm enough for cold weather?

They're built for wet-weather protection rather than warmth, since there's no inner lining. On colder days, the Fleece-Lined Rain Mittens (same size run, in pink, blue and green) add a soft fleece layer while keeping the same waterproof PU-coated shell.

How do I stop my toddler pulling these off?

The elasticated cuff and snap fastening at the wrist are designed to hold the mitten in place during play; fasten the snap snugly rather than loosely for the best hold.

How should I wash them?

Wash at the temperature on the garment's care label, close the snap first, skip fabric softener and don't leave them to soak, then air-dry away from radiators or direct heat.

Do these have any reflective detailing?

Yes, reflective details are included on the mitten for extra visibility on darker walks to and from nursery or school.
