HOW WE CREATE
FUNCTIONAL OUTERWEAR
At molo, we have deliberately prioritised our choices
when it comes to designing our snowsuits, jackets and
ski pants in order to create high quality outerwear.
WATERPROOFNESS
It is important that a child does not become wet when
playing outside, that’s why all our functional seams are
taped to guarantee that the garment is waterproof. Our
garments are among the most waterproof available on
the market.
BREATHABILITY
Since the climate varies so much, and we can have
cold but also fairly mild winter days, the breathability of a garment is of vital importance to avoid a child
becoming wet with sweat and then catching a chill;
this is why we choose high quality fabrics that allow
for high breathability. We don’t stop there though,
because what good is a breathable outer shell if
the lining and interlining are not? This is why we
also think in terms of breathable properties when it
comes to the inner layers and that is why we choose,
for example, a high quality fleece as a lining, so any
perspiration can easily be transported through all
layers in the outerwear, away from the body.
WEIGHT/MOBILITY/DURABILITY
These 3 are closely related. At molo, we prioritise
using qualities for our snowsuits and jackets etc.,
that do not weigh very much. We do this for the
sake of the child to ensure that the outerwear does
not weigh the child down or reduce their mobility.
The garment’s design is also conducive to mobility because there is a limited amount of bulky filling
around the child.
If you, like molo, prioritise soft and comfortable
fabric qualities, then you can not have the ultimate
in technical durability. A higher durability usually
means a heavier and a stiffer piece of outerwear. At
molo, we have found, through careful research, the
perfect balance between durability and lightness in
our outerwear in order to ensure maximum mobility.
INSULATION
The lining is essential in ensuring that the garment is
warm and insulated. At molo, we use the best and most
trusted insulation material: 3MTM ThinsulateTM. This form
of insulation contains tiny microfibers, which means that
3MTM ThinsulateTM adds warmth without adding bulk, and
at the same time it is lightweight. The result is functional,
breathable outerwear that is lightweight and easy to
move around in.
VISIBILITY
All molo’s outerwear products are highly visible. We work
with reflective piping and molo’s star reflectors, which
are particularly effective because their large size ensures
that a child can be seen from a distance in traffic. This is a
big advantage in the dark days of winter.
SAFETY
All molo’s outerwear products are designed in alignment
with the EU’s safety standard DS/EN 14682 and thus live
up to all the safety regulations required for children’s wear
in Europe.
