Keeping kids cool on hot days can be a challenge.
On hot days and during exercise, excess body heat causes sweating which is our own cooling system, and to keep it working, it is important to drink enough water. But sometimes this is not enough.
Wearing less clothes helps, as sweat can evaporate better, but taking off all clothes is seldom possible when out in public, and with such a focus on sun safety, would also expose more skin to the sun, too.
Did you know that in extreme heat and during vigorous physical activity, additional cooling can be obtained via special sportswear and I have been sent some of Reima’s new clothing range for kids, using their smooth, elastic Xylitol Cool fabric.
This range, which includes sportswear, features Xylitol Cool fabric; a technology which keeps kiddies feeling cool and fresh during summer activities. It’s more than just a sensation, too – temperatures on the skin drop between 1 and 3 degrees Celsius!
Non-toxic and safe, Xylitol Cool gets its cooling effect from Xylitol; an edible sweetener found in sweets, chewing gum and toothpaste.
Ideal for children who are super sporty, the Xylitol Cool range is practical yet trendy. It’s especially effective for children participating in after school or holiday sports clubs where they’re more likely to overheat.
This is a safe way to make kids feel more comfortable, and will help them enjoy their favourite activities all summer long!
Isaac and Eliza both love their new outfits and Isaac is wearing his for his end of year school play – it is the perfect choice for a street dancer!!
The Xylitol Cool range is available at www.reima.com features t-shirts, sweat tops, shorts, dresses and skorts with prices starting from €23

I’d never heard of these before reading this post but they sound great! Perfect for the Summer…now we just have to pray for sun!
I hadn’t heard of clothes that cooled before. It’s a great idea, kids can be so active and it stinks to see them overheated.
I have never heard of this brand before, what a clever idea. I will have to look into this as my son gets so hot at after school clubs x
I love this idea! My daughter has autism and overheats all the time so these would be perfect!
I’ve heard of the brand before but didn’t realise they did clothing for kids. It looks great quality and perfect for the summer.
These sound fantastic for family days out over the summer or when the children are active.
Ooh I will have to get some of these for Lucas, we are in France for the summer so it’s very hot! Love her dress
These are so bright and colourful, and perfect for keeping kids cool too!
It looks like a great clothing range, perfect for this hot weather!
These look great. Love how they keep them cool too. That t shirt is a great colour.
What a great idea! My two never seem to stop and are always so hot so anything that can help gets a big thumb up from me! I love the bright colours and stylish designs too!
I love the stylish pieces. My kids would love them.
Ohh these sound ace for summer – stylish but also breathable – win win allround

What a fantastic idea for kids clothing and perfect for my active little man in this hot weather! Lovely style as well.
I love Reima, I’ve only ever looked at their winter collection but love the look of their summer clothes.
Sounds like you have been up to a lot of activities for sure. Always good to keep the kids entertained outdoors xx
