The very best skiwear for kids (that they’ll actually want to wear)

Stylish, comfortable – and the kind of cool that your little slope slayers will want to wear – so far so sensible. But the best kids’ skiwear pieces are packed with practicality, featuring technical product details and smart extras, to give us parents peace of mind too.

 Waterproof, warm and safe – the right kids’ ski clothes allow you to enjoy the snow, even in harsh weather conditions. Built into the DNA of pro’ brands, like Helly Hansen, Roxy and Frugi, this season marks the launch of John Lewis’ NEW kids’ skiwear collection too – which features all the practicality of tradish winter sports brands (a Reimatec coating, for techy types) with added pizazz.

Whether you’re a family of seasoned skiers or are simply looking to winterproof your kids’ wardrobe, this is the sort of skiwear your kids will long to wear. Want to shop smart? First up, check the spec:
