Don’t let your little Eskimo become Eskimo Pie

Patagonia’s fully winterproof Snow Patrol snowsuit has outstanding weather-proof qualities, but it’s also made from recycled materials, so it’s taking care of your baby, and taking care of the earth that your baby will grow up in.

The suit has fully sealed seams, is lined and insulated, and has a durable 2-layer,  100% polyester (50% recycled) shell with a waterproof/breathable H2No® barrier and a Deluge® DWR (durable water repellent) finish to keep wet weather out. The 150-g Thermogreen™ insulation (90% recycled) will keep your baby toasty warm.  The Snow Patrol snowsuit is detailed for comfort, growth and the turbulence of toddlerhood: a full-zip front with soft chin flap and outer wind flap; elasticated cuffs, waist and hem; double-layer, articulated knees; a “grow-fit” stitch in legs and sleeves for 2″ more growing room; zipped pockets; a stay-put elasticated hood opening; high-visibility reflective taping on the back yoke; an easy-glide polyester lining; tie-down loops to secure ski boots; and reinforced scuff patches at the hems.

Patagonia states that this garment is recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program, but seeing as we’re in the UK, it would make more sense to donate it to a charity shop once you’ve finished with it, or if it’s in no fit state to be worn, put it in an Oxfam textile bin for recycling.
