💡 Helpful Tips for Parents
- The Lightline is designed for mountaineering, so it’s very warm and windproof — ideal for winter adventures, school trips, or cold sidelines!
- The fit is regular (not baggy), so if your child likes to wear thick layers underneath, consider sizing up.
- XXS generally fits children around 9–13 years or 140–152 cm tall.
- XS often suits 12–15 years or 150–165 cm tall youths.
- Compare the chest measurement (armpit to armpit × 2) with your child’s favourite jacket for the best fit.
⚠️ Note: This is a technical adult jacket, not specifically designed for children. However, many parents choose it for kids due to its quality and warmth. Bear in mind room for growth and how quickly kids grow in a short space of time.
