Softshell trousers for children – functional trousers for autumn, spring and active outdoor play
Looking for softshell trousers for children that work when the weather changes? Villervalla's softshell trousers are comfortable functional trousers that are excellent during spring and autumn - and can also be used on mild winter days with the right layers underneath. They are wind and water resistant, durable and breathable, making them a good choice for children who like to be outside and on the move.
Our softshell trousers for children are designed to fit comfortably and move with play and everyday life, with smart details such as an adjustable waist, reflective details and foot straps that keep the trouser legs in place over boots.
Softshell trousers that handle everyday life and weather
Softshell trousers for children are among the most flexible outerwear garments when it is neither really cold nor fully rainy. They are excellent for preschool, school and leisure - especially when children are active and need outerwear that both protects and breathes. Match with a softshell jacket.
Why many children (and adults!) like softshell
Softshell is often warmer than a shell garment while still being soft and flexible. This makes softshell trousers comfortable for playing, running and wearing for a long time. They also work well layer-on-layer, where the clothes underneath are adapted to the temperature.
Functions that make a difference
Villervalla's softshell trousers for children are created to work in practice, which is why many of our styles include:
- Water-resistant material (5,000 mm water column) that handles moisture, drizzle and wet playgrounds
- Breathability that helps the child stay comfortable during activity
- Adjustable waist for a comfortable fit
- Detachable foot straps that keep the trouser legs in place
- Reflective details for better visibility during darker months
- A light fleece lining on some styles for extra comfort
Outerwear in non-toxic materials and easy care
Our outerwear contains no perfluorinated substances such as PFOS and PFOA. We use polyurethane coating to help keep moisture out, and we test production before it is shipped from the supplier.
Washing softshell garments
Softshell trousers can be machine washed at 40°C. Avoid fabric softener and tumble drying to preserve the material's function.
