How to choose demi-season clothes for children. Demi-season jackets

Demi-season overalls

Demi-season clothes for a child. Interesting and helpful.

children before and after a year.

Children up to a year

Children's demi-season clothing for newborns and children under one year old, it should be warm (the child spends most of his time in a stroller without moving), comfortable and safe.

What is comfort in demi suits?

Must be:

- a tongue that closes the zipper (protects the child's chin from chafing),

- elastic band on the back (provides a snug fit of outerwear to the body),

- drawstring along the edge of the hood (provides a snug fit of the hood to child's head),

- knitted cuffs on the sleeves (more tightly fit the child's arm),

- Booties and mittens included

- at the bottom of the overalls for small children expand (the baby walks in a diaper)

What model of demi-season clothing is better to choose?

For a child up to six months, a “bag with sleeves” type of overalls is suitable, but keep in mind that you will soon grow out of this “bag”. That's why perfect option- overalls-transformer.

A child who is not yet a year old will be much more comfortable spending his time in a transforming jumpsuit or overalls. A separate set, in the form of a jacket and semi-overalls, is too early for the baby to wear. It is warmer and more comfortable in overalls - mother often has to take the baby in her arms, put her in and out of the stroller. A separate set will ride up, and in overalls all the described manipulations will be “painless”.

Overalls or overalls-transformer?

If the child was born in March, then it is more expedient to buy a demi-season overalls - a transformer for spring walks. It can be used both as an envelope and as a jumpsuit. In the spring, while the baby is very tiny, you use the envelope, and the next season, in the fall, the grown-up baby will be more comfortable in overalls, and then the envelope is fastened (using a special zipper between the legs) onto the overalls.

In one-piece and transformer overalls, it is better to give preference to models with two long zippers "from nose to heels" - they will facilitate the process of dressing a child who is not yet in control of his body and cannot help. Long zippers will help to easily equip for a walk, even when the child is sleeping.

If the child is more than six months old, then there is no point in buying a transformer, in this case it is better to choose a regular demi-season overalls.

A child up to a year does not need ultra-modern overalls, they will suit him budget options on one layer of synthetic winterizer or "Hollofiber".

Children from a year

Children's demi-season clothing for children from one year old must fulfill following features:

- should warm (because in the off-season it is still quite cold)

- should protect from moisture (in spring and autumn there is a lot of precipitation)

- should protect from dirt, children's clothes should be easy to clean and wash off (in the spring and autumn, children's clothes are very often dirty).

Along with all the above basic functions, children's clothing should be light (so as not to impede the movement of the child) and comfortable (clothes should not cause tightness and inconvenience).

Children's demi-season clothing should be durable - in spring, children actively begin to play on playgrounds, ride slides, and often fall. That is why the child outerwear must be made of durable, wear-resistant and abrasion-resistant fabrics.

What to pay attention to?

It is desirable to have protective elastic bands on the sleeves and legs. You need a drawstring or elastic at the waist - and at the hem of the jacket.

Which is more convenient: one-piece overalls or a separate set?

The one-piece jumpsuit puts on faster and soothes the mother, who may feel that the baby is "blowing".

A separate set is practical after the age of 1.5 years: the size of the semi-overall can be adjusted with the help of straps, the jacket can be removed in the store / clinic.

To kid early age insulated trousers with an elastic band do not fit, they are uncomfortable to walk in, and it is warmer for him in semi-overalls. Therefore, the jacket + pants option is best left at the age of five years.

For kids runningyou can buy two semi-overalls and one jacket - semi-overalls are washed more often. Overalls "for mud", as a rule, take a cheap one from the market so that it is not a pity.

For children over five years old and teenagers, sets with insulated pants are suitable.

- The length of the jacket should be up to the middle of the thigh - even if the child sits down, the back will remain closed.

- So that the legs do not ride up when walking, you need thongs (if you don’t have them, you can sew them on yourself).

- Zippers must be closed with a special strap that protects from the wind.

- Pay attention to whether the collar closes the neck. Unfortunately, even very expensive overalls suffer from "holes" in the throat area. Wear turtlenecks to protect your throat. Or hats - helmets will come to the rescue.

Why are "noname" overalls bad?

- The fabric quickly shuffles off, white spots and tears appear on the buttocks and knees, the lining fabric turns into tatters. Therefore, it is advisable to buy inexpensive overalls from well-known firms, and not unknown Chinese ones, this will give at least some guarantee of quality.

— The results of inspections of children's clothing from year to year show that up to 80% Chinese clothes from the market (and in stores) is produced with violations of hygiene standards. Cheerful acid shades contain poisonous dyes.

It's important to know!

- Overalls on modern insulation (isosoft, etc.) create a microclimate around the body, depending on the activity of the child and the weather overboard.

Quality clothing keeps the inside temperature just below body temperature to the best of your ability. Therefore, the child under outer clothing will feel cool to the touch - this does not mean that he is cold. This is fine.

Membrane overalls ideally maintain this temperature in any conditions - both in the heat and in the cold, the child always feels equally comfortable. Of course, if he is not overdressed.

- If you are determined to choose a quality jumpsuit, pay attention to the labels sewn into the inside seams. They tell you that the jumpsuit is on isosoft? Check if there is a label with a registered trademark of Isosoft ®.

Also on the label it can be written: “polyester top, polyester lining, polyester insulation”, in this case there should be another label (tag) indicating what kind of insulation was used.

The same story with any other heaters, for example, holofiber should be listed as "Hollofiber®", and NOT OTHERWISE !!!

External coating materials

Cordura®was developed by DuPont for the US Army. It is a thick nylon with a special weave structure of threads of different thicknesses, with water-repellent impregnation and polyurethane coating.

Cordura® is renowned for its unique strength and durability.

Cordura® fabrics are widely used wherever puncture, tear and rough abrasion resistance is needed.

The difference between real Cordura® and fakes: transparent impregnation from the inside, a thick fabric base is visible through it; the fabric itself is matte, rather stiff, slightly fleecy. Water rolls off of it in balls.

Nylonor polyamide. And it was also invented by DuPont. This man-made fiber has a narrower use than polyester, but is ideal for sportswear or children's wear. These are light, breathable, quick-drying, high-strength fabrics that perfectly retain their shape and do not require special care.

If it is indicated that a polyamide product is treated with Teflon, then the suit is waterproof.

Nylon Tafetta- durable material, windproof, water-repellent and breathable.

HEMI TEC- windproof, breathable and stain-resistant polyamide, treated on the reverse side with microporous polyurethane. It does not let water in, but allows moisture to pass from the body to the outside.

HEMI PROOF- double sided material, developed by Swedish specialists. Durable polyamide on the surface of the fabric repels water, wind and dirt. The reverse side of the fabric is laminated with polyvinyl. This guarantees complete water tightness of the material.

Polyester(polyester, polyester, lavsan) is the common name for polyester fibers. It has good durability, suitable for sports and children's clothing. These are lightweight, "breathable" waterproof fabrics that perfectly retain their shape and do not require special care. However, polyester, for all its attractiveness, is less durable than nylon.

Polyester Microfiber- a fabric made of ultra-fine fibers, thanks to them, very quickly removes moisture from the body.

Active fabric- windproof, breathable material, treated with a special water and dirt-repellent impregnation. They say that the fabric "Active" has low water-repellent properties ...

Polypropylene (Propylene)- this is a layer of material that, when attached directly to the body, quickly absorbs moisture, removes sweat, and has no smell. Repels dirt well. Disadvantage: wears out quickly.

Bologna- capron, named after the Italian city of Bologna. It is treated with water and dirt-repellent compounds and is almost completely waterproof.

Unfortunately, after impregnation, the bologna also becomes airtight, that is, it does not apply to breathable fabrics. It is stuffy in it, sweat is not brought out.

Designed for temperatures from -5.

Bologna clothes are not worth buying active child, otherwise it will overheat a lot, and in principle, clothes made of bologna fabric are not officially recommended for children of nursery and preschool age as unhygienic. But it is widely used by manufacturers of cheap outerwear.

Dem lining

Linings are made of polyester, cotton or fleece.

FLEECE (fleece)- artificial wool. Soft, warm, wicks away moisture. Easy to care for, does not deform and does not shrink after washing. Has high wear resistance. It can be of different thicknesses: 100, 200 or 300. Another thickness option is a very thin microfleece, which is usually used for finishing clothes.

Polar Fleece Antipilling- pleasant to the touch material with a non-rolling pile. It retains heat well, protects against dampness and does not absorb moisture.

Polartec- high-tech fleece with non-rolling pile, very durable, hypoallergenic. It has ventilation properties, dries quickly and perfectly warms the body.

WINDPROOF(100,80,60)is a wind-resistant and breathable fleece, where the numbers indicate how many percent of the wind the fleece blocks.

INSULATIONS for the spring season

Thermolite (thermolight)- Patented insulation from DuPont. It is used both in extreme sports and in Everyday life. Meets the high requirements for special sportswear.

holofiber- Insulation based on 100% polyester. Consists of hollow fibers-springs, very light and warm. Producer: Thermopol company, Moscow.

Isosoft- modern insulation company Libeltex (Belgium). Consists of the finest fibers, high heat-shielding qualities, light, durable, breathable. The special microcellular structure does not allow cold air to penetrate inside, keeping warm.

Sintepon- material from lavsan, consisting of small fibers. Somewhat outdated, although the modern synthetic winterizer is different from the old one. It is lighter and keeps heat better, but loses to modern heaters in all respects: it doesn’t “breathe” well, it gets wet easily. Now, it is mainly used in cheap clothing options.

We have a more understandable name lavsan, which does not create the appearance of using some kind of super-technologies, and it is technically not so difficult to produce a fiber with cavities inside. Sometimes the synthetic winterizer is used not for warming, but for filling, so that the clothes do not look too thin and please the eyes of suspicious mothers.

The main disadvantage of synthetic winterizer is its low survivability, its quality deteriorates significantly after each wash, and spring overalls and jackets often have to be washed.

Clothes on synthetic winterizer: O "HARA, Canada.

Thermophile, holofan and holofill- high-tech insulation of a new generation - soft, light, thin, perfectly retain heat, completely restore its original shape after compression, do not cause allergies.

HolloFibr, HolloFiber, HolloSoft and other Hollo-sounding names- usually belong to the products of unknown Chinese, Korean and other firms. All of them are lavsan fiber of different thickness and different specific gravity. As the name implies, there should be a cavity inside the fiber, but it is quite possible that there will not be one. No one guarantees the quality of these heaters.

REVIEWS of Internet moms about demi jumpsuits

“Lightweight, comfortable, well-designed jacket. Washes and dries - very well, does not lose its appearance (worn for 4 seasons, first with a hem, then without).

- “We bought an O-Kharovsky fleece jacket (the fleece comes unfastened), I don’t like it much either. Like a windbreaker, if we put it on, it gets wet and it’s kind of hot in it. ”

“We have worn O-Hara all our lives. Elastic bands on the sleeves, a detachable and easy-to-wash top, comfortable and numerous pockets, bright colors, drawstrings where necessary (bottom, waist)… You can wash it often, nothing will happen. And I also like o-Kharovsky semi-overalls. ”

- “Orbi - greatly increased the volume and, more critically, the weight of a child who has not yet walked (that is, had to be carried). After the first wash, the lining was tangled (not horror-horror, but it infuriates me). The most important joint is a wild discrepancy in size. The child, with a height of 75, somehow brought the overalls to 80 to the heat. A lot of fasteners (a vest on the chest), but the one who did all this would do well to straighten his arms, honestly ... But in general, he survived the season. And most importantly, what I actually bought into is a very cute design. I fought with bad fasteners and admired.

Plus, this hood is normally tailored - warm and uninflated (unlike the same reim). Cons - it’s definitely not worth climbing into the mud in it, if it’s not a light rain it will get wet, the fabric on the pants is a kazza to me, torn completely ... "

“I’m satisfied with the naughty ones, yes, the hood does not come unfastened, but our neck is closed even without putting on a hood - apparently it’s different for them.”

- “We have Naughty, they attributed 2 seasons to spring and autumn, they are very dissatisfied, they get wet - a fact, Especially the bottom of the legs in the spring, right along the bottom they crawl inside right along the lining, after several washes the color became terrible, sooooo pale, washed out shorter in full.

Demi-season membrane sets and overalls

This clothing is ideal for our dirty slushy spring, it is absolutely waterproof and windproof due to taped seams and special impregnations.

The principle of operation of the membrane is such that the child will never sweat on a walk, which means that he will not freeze.

A child in membrane clothing is not afraid of wet swings and benches, dirty sandboxes, falling into puddles, this is true in the spring season.

He does not need a second set “for dirt”, either. overalls on the membrane are easily washed under running water - or simply with a wet sponge. Water and dirt do not penetrate inside the overalls, frequent washing in the machine is not required. Washing is needed once every 1-1.5 months.

The main rule: only synthetics should be worn under the membrane and the child should move!

Temperature regime:

For cool windy weather (from -5 and below), we put on a fleece or woolen suit under the jumpsuit, under it there should be tights and a T-shirt with the addition of synthetics.

From zero to -5: fleece or wool jacket, tights.

Up to +5: blouse / turtleneck with the addition of synthetics and mixed tights.

In any case, look at the weather and the condition of the child. If a child walks a little during a walk or sleeps in a stroller, it is still too early for you to buy a membrane. You need to move in it for the membrane to work correctly.

It is desirable to treat membrane clothing with special sprays. But a couple of seasons you can do without treatments (and more baby it does not come out). But you only need to wash membrane clothes by special means"For sportswear". When buying a used membrane, keep in mind that you do not know how clothes were washed and treated BEFORE you!!!

With the onset of spring and rainy summer, every mother thinks about what jacket to choose for her child. If everything is simple and clear with the winter option, then here you need Special attention pay attention to many details. Let's look at each of them:

Child's height

As a rule, all children grow up. The development of a child depends on many external and internal factors such as heredity, health, nutrition. Understanding on what day he will need new clothes is not an easy question. The most important rule - do not buy a jacket "for growth". Designers develop models based on the build of the child, and in this case, you block all active functions of clothing. For example, for cloudy weather a raincoat is perfect, its cuffs are made to protect the child from moisture and wind, they do an excellent job with this task. But if the jacket is still not in size and does not fit snugly on the wrists, then there is simply no protection.

Material

Each jacket material from which they are made is unique in its own way.

1. Membrane fabric - no matter what type of membrane is used (porous, non-porous or combined membrane), they are distinguished by: water-repellent impregnation, taped seams, waterproof zippers with padlock protection, extra ventilation and light weight.
2. raincoat fabric- natural fibers are combined with artificially created ones, and the surface is treated with a water-repellent coating. Most often it is cotton and nylon. They do not require special care and have increased wear resistance. Their feature, as a rule, is plain weave, high mechanical strength, low wrinkling and water-repellent properties.
3. Knitted fabrics have a number of valuable properties: they are soft, elastic and do not restrict the movement of a person, even with a tight fitting of the body. They are resistant to abrasion and almost do not wrinkle, drape well and have high hygienic properties - high air permeability and hygroscopicity, good heat-shielding properties.

Style

Nowadays, finding a jacket of the right style is not difficult; there are a huge number of them in the open spaces of stores. They can be either fitted or loose. Blouson style (model short jacket on stitched belt), cape (loose jacket in the form of a cape with sleeves), mandarin (quilted jacket made of fabric, with a stand-up collar, straight silhouette), in sports style etc.

Thanks to modern technologies production, today the style does not affect breathability, since the materials from which the models are sewn have protective properties due to its texture and fiber density. Therefore, even the most spacious and non-fitted jacket creates excellent conditions for comfort.

When choosing the length of the product, you need to rely on what your child will do in these clothes. For cycling, a shortened version that covers the lower back is suitable; for city walks, you should choose a long jacket or raincoat just above the knees (not lower, but not shorter). A longer jacket will make it difficult to move and tire, and in the case of a short one, your legs will start to freeze with back side hips.

Style and model

Beautiful, stylish and fashionable things attract everyone without exception: both children and parents, so the designers tried to bring fresh notes of modern fashion into each model of the collections and use Newest technologies in the production of clothing. That is why the material of the products is not only practical, but also based on design trends. It would seem that it is difficult to choose the style and model of a spring jacket? Nothing. Here you need to be careful. For a girl, a jacket with ruffles or a beautiful ornament is suitable; it can be either short or long. Here it is necessary to take into account the preferences of the child, because clothes also affect mood. And from it a whole model of relationship with the outside world is already being built.

What is demi-season and demi-season? Most often, this question arises when talking about clothes or shoes. Demi-season - designed to be worn in spring or autumn. The term refers to colloquial speech, is used mainly in the commercial or domestic sphere and has French roots.

Meaning of the word

Demi-season is a season, spring or autumn, off-season, a transitional period that does not have such specific characteristics and phenomena of its own as winter cold and summer heat. Since the word is usually used in relation to clothes and shoes, it denotes those parts of the wardrobe that are intended to be worn in spring and autumn.

You can apply the term to things that are more or less warm. Some will be used in late spring - early autumn, closer to summer, others - during the end of autumn - the beginning of winter and the end of winter - the birth of spring. All of them can be called demi-season.

A few decades ago, the understanding of what a demi-season is in relation to clothing was somewhat different - one could encounter the use of a word in the form of a noun to refer to specific elements of the wardrobe: a coat, jacket or raincoat. Currently, this meaning of the word is considered obsolete.

The adjective "demi-seasonal" is currently used mainly in trade and private conversations.

If you turn to jargon, you can find an unusual phrase - "demi-season fraer". In the thieves' dictionary, this would mean a fickle person. What is demi-season in this case? The equivalent of duality and changeability.

Origin of the word

In the exact translation, the word "demi-saison" means "semi-season" and has French roots - demi-saison.

It is formed from two words.

1. The first part is demi ("half or half"), in turn, derived from the Latin vulgarism (an expression of rude and often vulgar) dĭmĕdius or Latin dimidius, meaning "half". This word is formed from the prefix dis-, which gives the meaning of division and separation, and the part medius (translated into Russian - "medium, moderate"), word formation ascending to the word *me- ("between"), referring to the Proto-Indo-European language, which is considered the ancestor of all languages ​​​​of the peoples of the Indo-European group - Slavic, Romance, Germanic and many other tribes.
2. The second part of the word "demi-season" is the French saison, translated as "season". It is borrowed from Latin, in which the word satio means "sowing and sowing time." It, in turn, is formed from the verb serere - "to sow", and takes its roots from the Proto-Indo-European *se- "to sow".

What should be demi-season things

The value of the demi-season as a half-season and off-season suggests a number of qualities that things should have that are intended for use at a given time of the year.

It should be borne in mind that the off-season can be different and changeable, so a rather diverse list of wardrobe items will fall under the definition of "demi-season".

However, you can define a set of qualities that any demi-season clothing and footwear should have:

• practicality;
• convenience;
• waterproof and windproof (for clothes);
• pollution resistance;
• wear resistance;
• unpretentiousness in care.

Demi-season clothing

Of course, fur coats, sheepskin coats, down jackets and other outerwear designed for frost will not fall under the definition of demi-season.

What to look for when choosing a demi-season jacket?

To begin with, it is worth understanding what, in fact, a demi-season jacket means. Demi-season clothing is the one that is comfortable to wear in the off-season, when it is already cold in raincoats, but it is too early to get your down jackets. Due to the need to adapt to changeable weather conditions, such clothes are distinguished by the presence, as a rule, of a removable lining, a detachable hood, and sometimes sleeves. Women's demi-season jackets, which Italy produces, are considered good, they differ in the following characteristics:

1. Waterproof. In this regard, leather demi-season women's jackets are especially good. The combination of rain and cold piercing wind is especially dangerous for your health in the autumn-spring period, when everyone in the city has a general cold, so protection from getting wet is a priority when choosing a jacket.
2. Wind protection. In this regard, a leather demi-season jacket is also good, but it may well be replaced by a demi-season one. This type of jacket is specially designed in such a way as to create an additional air gap and neutralize the cold wind with a dense fur layer.
3. Length. The most preferred is an elongated women's demi-season jacket. At a minimum, it should cover the lower back, as a maximum, cover the ass. This may not always be appropriate if, for example, you prefer to go to work in sundresses or mid-thigh skirts, but it is very convenient for walking. IN long jacket you can always sit on a bench to admire the yellowing park without fear of freezing or catching a cold.

Roughly enough, all demi-season jackets can be divided into two groups: women's demi-season jackets with synthetic winterizer and jackets with fur. Each of the groups has its own advantages and disadvantages. So, quilted demi-season women's jackets filled with synthetic winterizer are more resistant to moisture and easy to care for. They can be washed in washing machine with the rest of your clothes, without worrying that after washing you will not be able to put the lining in order. It breaks easily by hand and stays as fluffy as new.

A little secret: if you do not like to break the synthetic winterizer or down filler of jackets by hand, the jacket can be washed in the machine with 3-4 (can be replaced with regular tennis balls). They will not allow the filler to go astray and will monitor its uniform distribution during washing.

Stylish women's demi-season jackets with fur are more warm and uncommon in design, but, firstly, they tend to sweat, and secondly, they don’t really like machine wash. You will have to clean such a jacket manually with a washcloth or a steam brush. But if this complexity does not bother you, there are no other contraindications to buying, such a jacket is ideal for transition period both autumn and spring. Especially if the fur lining is detachable, and the jacket can be used as a light windbreaker or raincoat.
