The Scout rain jacket was designed to exceed the typical lifespan of a child's rain coat, ultimately reducing the waste that accumulates as a result of fast fashion.
Children between the ages of 6 and 12 grow at rapid rates, resulting in parents having to constantly buy new clothes to accommodate their child's new size. This factor, coupled with the fact that the apparel industry is the second highest contributor to waste led the team at Scout to create this adaptive rain coat. The design is a simple and stylish unisex raincoat that can be adjusted vertically and horizontally, growing with your child.
The simple premise behind this coat aims to amend the short life span of clothes, ultimately extending the longevity of the product, and reducing the waste involved with the production of children's apparel.
