Kamik Kids' Clothing

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do Kamik kids' ski jackets like the Meteor perform in wet, cold conditions?

  Kamik jackets such as the Meteor use waterproof outer fabrics with taped seams and full insulation to keep kids dry and warm during snow play and skiing. Many models also include features like powder cuffs, adjustable hoods, and reinforced cuffs to protect against wet snow and abrasion.
• How should I size Kamik kids' outerwear — should I use height or weight?

  Kamik sizing is based primarily on height and weight, with chest/waist/hip measurements listed on the brand size chart (ranges from 12M up through size 14). Measure your child’s height and weight and match those to the chart, allowing a little room for base layers if they’ll be wearing the jacket skiing or snowboarding.
• How does the Meteor jacket compare to Kamik's Snowbug 5 and Waterbug 5 lines?

  The Meteor is an insulated, waterproof jacket designed to keep the torso warm and mobile for skiing, snowboarding, and general winter play, while the Snowbug 5 and Waterbug 5 are insulated, waterproof boots built for traction and foot protection in slush and snow. They serve different purposes—pair a Meteor jacket with a Waterbug/Snowbug boot for a complete cold-weather outfit.
• What jacket features should I prioritize for skiing versus everyday snow play?

  For skiing, prioritize waterproofing, high-quality insulation, a helmet-compatible hood, powder skirt, articulated sleeves, and thumbholes for glove retention and mobility. For everyday snow play, emphasize durable fabric, easy-entry cuffs and zippers, and reflective details for visibility while still keeping warmth and waterproofing in mind.
• How do I care for Kamik kids' ski outerwear to maintain waterproofing and insulation?

  Follow the garment care label: machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical cleaner (no fabric softener or bleach), then tumble dry low or hang to dry to restore loft to the insulation. If water stops beading on the outer fabric, reactivate or reapply a DWR treatment per the manufacturer's instructions.
