MEC Aquanator Rain Jacket - Youth Size 12 (Purple)

MEC Aquanator Rain Jacket - Youth Size 12 (Purple)

The MEC Aquanator is a high-performance, technical rain shell designed for children and youths who need reliable protection during active outdoor pursuits. Unlike basic "slicker" raincoats, the Aquanator uses a sophisticated waterproof-breathable membrane, making it ideal for hiking, camping, or school commutes where physical activity might otherwise lead to overheating.

Key Features

• Fully Waterproof & Seam-Taped: Every seam is heat-sealed to prevent water from leaking through the stitching, ensuring total dryness even in sustained downpours.

• Superior Breathability: The 2.5-layer construction features a specialized coating that allows moisture vapor (sweat) to escape while blocking wind and rain from entering.

• Durable Ripstop Fabric: Constructed from a rugged, 50-denier polyester or nylon ripstop face fabric that resists snags and tears from branches or playground equipment.

• Reflective Safety Details: Includes reflective piping or logos to increase visibility for drivers and parents during gloomy, low-light rainy days.

• Functional Hood: Features a structured, integrated hood with an elasticized brim to keep rain off the face and out of the eyes.

• Adjustable Fit: Outfitted with elasticized cuffs and often a drawcord hem to seal out wind and provide a tailored fit over layers.

Design & Longevity

MEC gear is legendary for its durability and "hand-me-down" quality. The Aquanator is designed with a "roomy" cut to allow for layering over a fleece or sweater, extending its use from early spring through late fall. The recycled face fabric also makes it an environmentally conscious choice for outdoor-focused families.
