Thin shell trousers or padded winter trousers - which is best?
The best style depends on temperature and activity. Thin shell trousers for children are especially suitable during spring and autumn, or as rain and wind protection when the child is moving. When it is colder, shell trousers can easily be combined with a warmer layer underneath, such as our comfortable fleece trousers.
If you are looking for warmer winter trousers with built-in padding, we recommend our padded winter trousers, which are both warm and waterproof. Twice as good, simply put!
Shell clothing, rainwear or softshell - what should you choose?
Shell trousers and other shell garments are often the most flexible choice when the weather changes. They are waterproof and ventilate better than rainwear, making them comfortable during play and activity. Rainwear is easy to rinse off but can become warm when the child moves a lot. Softshell is soft and comfortable, but not as waterproof in persistent rain.
Non-toxic and durable outdoor trousers
Villervalla's shell trousers are free from harmful substances such as PFOS and PFOA. We use a polyurethane coating that effectively helps keep moisture out. Through careful testing of materials and production, we guarantee safe products for your child.
Combine with a shell jacket for a complete set that works when the weather is at its most changeable. Thanks to durable materials and high quality, the trousers can often be used for a long time and gladly passed on.
Frequently asked questions about our shell trousers for children:
What is the difference between shell trousers and outdoor trousers for children?
Shell trousers are functional garments that are waterproof and breathable. Outdoor trousers is a broader term that often refers to simpler wind trousers without the same high waterproofness.
Are Villervalla's shell trousers waterproof?
Yes, they have a high water column (8,000 mm) and are made to handle both play in wet grass and jumping in puddles in heavy rain.
What do taped seams mean on shell trousers?
It means that the small holes made by the sewing machine needles are sealed with special tape on the inside, so water cannot leak in through the seams.
What are foot straps, and are they needed on outdoor trousers?
They are rubber or elastic straps that go under shoes or boots. They keep the trouser legs in place and help prevent the gap between shoe and trouser from letting in water or snow.
What is the best way to wash shell trousers?
Wash at 40 degrees, inside out, with zips closed. Never use fabric softener, as it clogs the pores in the material and destroys breathability.
Do shell trousers fit taller children too?
Yes, our sizes are based on the child's height. They are roomy enough to allow layer-on-layer dressing without limiting movement for growing children.
When is rainwear a better choice than shell trousers?
Rainwear is easy to rinse off, for example if the child has become muddy during play. Rainwear is easier to simply hose down, while shell garments are better when the child moves a lot and needs to ventilate heat.
Are the shell trousers free from PFOS and PFOA?
Yes, all Villervalla outerwear is completely free from perfluorinated substances, so our shell trousers are automatically free from both PFOS and PFOA.
