Björnen Winter Suit

A warm, versatile baby winter overall that has won many consumer tests.

Polarbjörnen Winter Suit

Lighter, breathable suit ideal for active activities.

How to care for your Scandinavian children's jumpsuit?

In case of mud or paint, just wipe the suit with a wet cloth. Reima recommends that the stain on the suit be removed as soon as possible, e.g. by wiping the area with snow. The fabrics are specially designed in such a way that they do not absorb stains. Drops of rain or mud run down the suit and rarely leave marks.

Winter overalls Didriksons or Ducksday can be stored like all other winter clothes, both on hangers and overhead storage.

How to wash a winter suit?
