There's no need for rain to stop play with the super waterproof EcoSplash puddlesuit.
Perfect for splashing about in, whatever the weather, this all-in-one is made using recycled fabric and is breathable and flexible, ideal for keeping active explorers comfortable without making them hot or sticky. The taped seams, secure hood and contrast waterproof zip ensure no water gets in for maximum waterproof protection while the fleece lining to the body and hood keep children warm on cooler days. For mini adventurers of 0-12 months, foldover hand warmers and removable feet are included and from 12 months upwards, the legs have handy adjustable stirrups - perfect for securing over wellies. The reflective details on the print and zip ensure children are easier to spot and the suit is machine washable, meaning it's quickly ready for the next muddy adventure. The waterproof coatings on our EcoSplash collection uses Bionic Finish Eco natural, chemical free technology.

The Muddy Puddles Kids Ecosplash All-In-One Suit - Green has the following sustainability attributes...
Products using natural fibres can range from cotton to wool to hemp and silk - but by being naturally made, they will also naturally biodegrade at their end of lifecycle. Even if you have a natural fibre product, it can probably still be recycled or repurposed before being disposed of. However, if it truly has reached the end of its use, natural fibres need air to biodegrade so please don't dispose of them in landfill.
Fluorinated DWR finishes make clothing waterproof by repelling water droplets. ‘PFCs’ is the broad term for all fluorocarbon chemicals, of which PFOS and PFOA are sub-groups. Different chemicals in this family have a varying number of carbon atoms, so C6 has six carbon atoms and C8 has eight. While the outdoor industry has moved away from C8 (or 'long chain') PFCs, C6 (short chain) PFCs are currently unbeatable in their waterproofing performance. They're considered less harmful to the environment than C8, but they have not been proven to be safe. PFCs are known as forever chemicals; once created they will never break down and are harmful to people and the planet. To read more about the chemistry related to PFCs, head here.
PFC-Free DWR uses alternative, biodegradable technologies that repels water from the surface of a fabric - such as Fjallraven's Greenland Wax. PFC-Free DWR coatings are water resistant enough for most daily activities, so if you don’t need a highly technical waterproof, consider a PFC-Free garment instead.
By recycling fabrics, we are not only stopping extra waste heading to landfill but also reducing the need for virgin fabrics to be created. Recycled fabrics can be anything from recycled polyester to recycled cotton and where recycled cotton is used, it's often offcuts from factory floors that would otherwise end up in landfill.

I love this unisex puddle suit. Great quality design & pattern, hoping it will last through 2 winters at least.
