Reima makes the best winter layers for kids and I’m sharing my favorites including my favorite Reima snowsuit, buntings, base layers, and accessories to keep your kids warm.
I have been using layers from Reima for about two years now and I have tested A LOT of their gear. From Reima snowsuits down to Reima socks. I wanted to have a place where I put all of my favorite pieces in one spot so you can come and compare the differences to see what layer will work best for your child.
Everyone has different needs depending on where they live and the activities they like to do, so I tried to include the reason I liked the pieces to help you know if they will work for your family.
I did not include anything I haven’t fully tested. My kids have all used these layers so you can trust that you’re getting good information from me.

Reima Base Layers
Lani Thermal Base Layer: When it’s warmer, I love this 2 piece synthetic set. It’s lightweight and breathable and does a great job at wicking away moisture to keep little ones dry and warm. It does run quite big so I would size down at least one size (maybe 2 if you want it to be snug). (My code is Hailey20)
Kinsei Merino Wool Blend: This is a thin base layer that is a mix of wool and tencel. Tencel is made from wood pulp using recyclable solvents. It’s great for sensitive skin. This is a great option if you want some of the benefits from wool, but at a better price.
This is also the base layer I purchased in the 14y size to see if it would fit me and it did with room to spare! I am normally a size small on top and size 4-6 on the bottoms. I’m 5’3 and pear shaped. I was worried they would be tight on the bottoms but they weren’t at all. The bottoms are a bit see through so not something I would just walk around in outside of my house.
Taival Thermal Base Layer: This is Reima’s thickest and warmest base layer. I like this set for the coldest days. I haven’t had my kids wear it on it’s own playing outside yet but it definitely feels like it wouldn’t get holes as quickly as a lot of other base layers. If your kid has sensory issues, I wouldn’t recommend this set. While it’s definitely not scratchy, it’s not the softest merino wool I have felt. (My kids have no issues with it, but just wanted to include that).
Reima Snowsuits
Gotland Snowsuit: This snowsuit is waterproof and well insulated. It is breathable as well which is great since my toddler hikes a lot on her own. She has no problem running around in it and the fur hood helps block the wind as well. (My code is Hailey20)
Lappi Snowsuit: This snowsuit is exactly the same as the Gotland (above), it just has a print. So if you are more into patterns, this is the snowsuit for you.
Stavanger Snowsuit: This is the snowsuit I have for almost 4 year old toddler this winter. It is very similar to the above Gotland but designed for an older kid. It is waterproof and insulated. It’s got a longer torso and is a little easier to move in since he mostly hikes on his own now.
Reima Mid Layers and Buntings
Myytti Fleece Jumpsuit: This fleece jumpsuit is one of my favorites. It’s soft inside but the outside, while still soft, is tightly woven and feels very durable. My kids roll around in the dirt in these things and they still look like new. They are warm so are a great outer layer for a mild winter (or fall) day. (My code is Hailey20) (Sold out!)
Kahvitus Fleece Jumpsuit: This is my current favorite bunting for my toddler. Since he is older, he does not need the fold over hands and feet as that would be impractical. It is very soft, but abrasion resistant. And it is tapered in the back so it doesn’t get in the way of him scrambling around and it honestly looks really cute. (My code is Hailey20)
Parvin Wool Jumpsuit: For my moms who love wool, this jumpsuit is one of my favorites. It’s a great mid layer that isn’t too thick so it doesn’t restrict movement, but has the wonderful wool properties we all love.
Mahin Wool Jacket and Pants: This set is basically the Parvin jumpsuit but in 2 pieces. It is the perfect mid layer for my 4 year old since he is potty trained. It makes it so much easier for him to go to the bathroom especially on ski days. Here is the link to the pants.
Vuori Fleece Jumpsuit: This jumpsuit is thick and warm. The fleece is like sherpa and it’s really durable. I bring it for my kids to wear camping a lot. Because it’s so thick, it’s not the best for layering but it’s a great outer layer in the fall and cooler temperatures.
REima Accessories
Hands
Reima Ote Mittens: These are the best winter gloves for kids. (Well, mittens) They have an adjustable cinch around the wrists to help them stay on. They come up to about mid arm. They are waterproof and insulated as well as abrasion resistant which is great for my toddler who loves to pick up and play with lots of rocks and sticks. (My code is Hailey20)
Feet
Reima Kids Boots: These are the best winter boots for kids and my favorite I have ever used. The smallest size is size toddler 4.5. They are waterproof and insulated with a wool/fleece blend. The sole is thicker and the kids feet have been plenty warm every time I take them off. They are very easy to get on and my 4 year old is even able to get these on himself which I love. (My code is Hailey20)
Antara booties: I got these booties for my baby last year and love them. They are waterproof and insulated keeping her toes warm. The sole is a thicker fabric but not firm so it doesn’t affect her foot development.
Astelu Barefoot Shoes: These are the perfect summer shoe for kids. They are easy to slip on and are ergonomically shaped for kids feet.
Patter Waterproof Sneakers: These waterproof sneakers are perfect for rainy or cool days. We brought these for my 3 year old when we visited Europe in the fall. He walked miles in these shoes and never complained. They are so easy to slip on and secure he could do it himself.
Head
Kuuraan Balaclava: This balaclava is unbelievably cute with the two pom poms. It’s thick, warm and is very effective in keeping kids warm in the winter. There are no gaps so the heat gets trapped. My kid’s both like to wear them and if they get warm, I just pull the hood off so they are wearing it like a neck gaiter.
