MATWAI jacket is a waterproof children's jacket with taped seams, built to keep toddlers and young children dry through nursery drop-offs, playground time and changeable spring or autumn days. The pointed hood with press-stud fastening, oversized front pocket with its signature reflective star and ribbed cuffs at the neck and wrists make it instantly recognisable, whilst the left-side zip keeps dressing straightforward when a small child is wriggling. A lighter cotton-mix lining and an adjustable internal waist suit the transitions between indoor warmth and outdoor drizzle without the bulk of a padded winter coat.

The 12,000 mm (WP) rating alone describes the fabric's resistance to water pressure, but it is the fully taped seams that push the jacket from water-repellent into genuinely waterproof. Even a highly rated fabric lets water through untaped stitching in sustained rain, which matters most on days when a child stays outside for hours rather than making a quick dash between doors. The fluorine-free Bionic Finish Eco treatment adds a surface layer that beads light rain away before it reaches the fabric itself.

Breathability at 8,000 g/m²/24h helps manage the heat and moisture that build up during active play, reducing the damp, chilled feeling that can follow energetic movement in less breathable outerwear. The windproof construction blocks cold air from passing through the shell, whilst the 100% recycled polyamide outer reaches 50,000+ Martindale, an abrasion result that supports repeated outdoor wear through a full season of playground slides, muddy puddles and everyday adventures.

The pointed hood fastens with press studs and can be detached fully when not needed, whilst the ribbed collar in sizes up to 18m/86cm seals against draughts at the smallest sizes. Larger sizes feature a regular collar for easier dressing. The adjustable internal waist refines the fit as layering changes through the season, and the oversized front pocket keeps small essentials within reach whilst displaying the 70 lux reflective star that keeps the child visible to drivers from up to 300 metres in low light.
