Just like mum, just like dad
Keep the kids warm, dry and protected against the buffeting elements. We all want our kids outside - and find independence doing their own thing - yet so much outdoor clothing for teens is compromised. We'll pay the VAT and give you 20% off when you buy our technical performance clothing for outdoor-loving under 16s.
Our size range is one of the broadest in the industry. Check our size guides and 'best-fit' table below as many of our smaller sizes fit younger teens. So here's our selection of technical outdoor clothing with outdoor performance, durability and abrasion resistance for young and old.
Just like mum, just like dad
A good set of waterproofs is essential for kids as much as they are for the grown-ups. We may live by the mantra that there's no such thing as bad weather, just bad gear. And we know proper clothing can turn the worst weather into the best memorable days.
That's why, as a members' exclusive offer, we'll pay the VAT on our smaller sizes when you buy them for under-16s.
Our sizing and best-fit match to typical age groups (using M&S size guides!):
| Age | Alpkit Mens Size | Alpkit Womens Size |
| 11-12 | - | 6 |
| 12-13 | - | 8 |
| 13-14 | XS | 10 |
| 14-15 | S | 12* |
* Sizes 6 to 10, XS and S are included in this promo however size 12 is excluded
