Size & fit

Our trousers are sized in line with NEXT children's sizes. We recommend sizing up one from your child's usual age size. For example, if they normally wear age 7, choose age 8. That gives them growing room and space to move. If they're already in age 12, choose 12. You don't need thermals; they're warm on their own.

Cuffed tucks into boots. Straight leg goes over. Not sure? Straight leg is the more versatile.

Product details

Four-layer weatherproof system — outer shell, windblock membrane, cotton wadding and Sherpa fleece, working together to keep the weather out and your heat in.

Weatherproof outer shell — beads off rain and blocks wind, rated to 10,000mm hydrostatic head.

Windblock membrane — a sealed barrier against wind and driven rain.

Thick Sherpa fleece lining — all-day warmth, soft against the skin, no bulk.

Two styles to choose from — cuffed elasticated ankle to tuck into boots, or a straight leg with a reflective zip on the lower leg.

Straight-leg reflective zip — a long zip on each lower leg opens them right up to go easily over boots, and the reflective zip helps you be seen on dark winter mornings and evenings.

Weather-sealed zips — secure pockets that keep your gear safe.

Built for proper play — muddy fields, school runs and everything in between.

Why they stay warm out there

Most kids' trousers just insulate, so the cold and wet still creep in. Cuddlr stops it at the surface, before it ever reaches their legs.

Our story

Designed in the UK, for British weather

Cuddlr started with a simple problem: Mike was tired of being cold whilst winter fishing - and nothing on the market actually kept the cold out. So we set about making something that did.

We're a UK business with a UK team, designing for the weather we actually live in - grey, wet, wind-blown British winters. Every pair is built and tested against the real conditions our customers face, not a mild idea of "cold."

Since 2023, more than 60,000+ people - riders, swimmers, dog walkers, farmers, and plenty who just feel the cold — have worn Cuddlr through their autumn and winters. We read every review, and the product keeps getting better because of them. Our children's Shields use the same four-layer build, sized for ages 4 to 12.

Before you buy

Questions parents ask

Fit & sizing
Which style — cuffed or straight?

Two styles to choose from — cuffed elasticated ankle to tuck into boots, or a straight leg with a reflective zip on the lower leg.

Straight-leg reflective zip — a long zip on each lower leg opens them right up to go easily over boots, and the reflective zip helps you be seen on dark winter mornings and evenings.

What size should I order?

Go one size up from your child's usual age size. For example, if they normally wear age 7, choose age 8. That gives them growing room and space to move. If they're already in age 12, choose 12. No thermals needed; they're warm on their own.

What are they made of?

A weatherproof polyester outer with 8% elastane for stretch, a windblock membrane, cotton wadding, and a thick Sherpa fleece lining — four layers working as one system.

Are they for boys and girls?

Yes, they're unisex. Just pick by age using the size chart, remembering to size up one.

Are they suitable for riding?

Yes. They're non-restrictive, so they're great for pony rides and pony club, as well as climbing, running and everything else kids get up to.

What should they wear underneath?

Whatever's comfortable: leggings, joggers or just underwear. No thermals needed; they're warm on their own.

Warmth & weather
Are they actually weatherproof?

The outer shell is rated to 10,000mm hydrostatic head — rain beads off and won't soak through in normal wear, and it blocks the wind. We say weatherproof rather than waterproof because the seams aren't taped; for everyday cold, wind and rain they keep the weather off you.

Warm enough if they're standing still?

Yes. The Sherpa lining insulates whether they're moving or not, so they stay warm on the touchline, at the bus stop or waiting at the school gate.

Will they get too hot?

They're built to hold warmth without trapping sweat, so kids stay comfortable whether they're charging about or standing still.

Care
How do I wash them?

Machine washable at 30°C. Air dry or dry on a radiator. Do not tumble dry, and avoid fabric softener.

Still weatherproof after washing?

Yes — a 30°C wash won't strip the weatherproofing. Over time and lots of washes it can start to fade, and if it does you can simply reproof them at home with an off-the-shelf product such as Nikwax.

Getting them on
Easy to get on with damp legs?

That's what the ankle zip is for. Unzip, step in, zip up — they pull on easily even when your legs are still a little damp.

Shipping & delivery
Where do you ship from, and how long does it take?

UK orders ship from our UK warehouse. Orders to the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand ship from our international warehouse. We use trusted carriers including Royal Mail, EVRi, UPS and Australia Post to get your order to you quickly.

Will I pay any duties or import tariffs?

No — there are no duties or import tariffs to pay at all, in any of the countries we ship to. The price you see is the price you pay.

How do returns and exchanges work?

If something isn't right, we make exchanges simple — we have a UK returns depot and a US returns depot, so you return to whichever is closest. Return postage is covered by the customer, and items need to be unworn and clean. Start a return with our returns form, or read the full delivery & returns policy.

Good to know
Will mud ruin them?

No. Mud and debris wipe straight off the smooth outer fabric, and the fleece lining inside doesn't hold on to it. Perfect for the park, the farm or the beach.

Are they thorn-proof?

No — a durable weatherproof outer, but not puncture- or thorn-proof. For heavy bramble-clearing you'd want dedicated protective trousers.

Are they reflective / good for low light?

The straight-leg style has a reflective zip on each lower leg, so you're more visible on dark winter walks, early mornings and roadside. (The cuffed style doesn't have the zip — choose straight leg if visibility matters to you.)

Can they ski in them?

Yes, they're warm and weatherproof enough for a day on the slopes or sledging. They're warm weatherproof trousers rather than technical salopettes, so for deep snow you may still want fully taped ski gear, but for most family ski trips they do the job brilliantly.

Waterproof trousers

The warmest I’ve ever had. Can even ride in them. Perfect. Will be getting more.

Brilliant for sailing

I bought these trousers for winter time gardening, but decided to use when maintaining our boat over the winter. Excellent - kept me warm and dry, and tapered legs and ankles ideal for getting in and out of wellies. Then wore them for sailing now in April, under waterproofs. Again, ideal. Washed perfectly. I'm a short woman, and these are ideal length. Warm, comfortable, flexible, perfect

DEBORAH DANIEL
The best thermal / waterproof trousers ever 🙌

I've been a paraplegic and wheelchair dependent for 27 years, I'm also an International Para Carriagedriver. There's nothing worse for me than cold wet days. I can't generate my own heat sat in a wheelchair, and I usually end up soaked to the skin with rain pooling in my lap, soaking through my legs to my seat whether I'm sat in a wheelchair or on my carriage; training or in competition. Over the years I have spent a "fortune" on expensive, branded waterproof trousers, only to spend more money on "re proofing" products. They don't keep me dry & they certainly don't keep me warm. Then trying to wrestle to change out of one soggy pair of trousers to a dry pair, whilst in a sitting position is whole new body workout in itself. Cuddlr's where have you been all of this time? I can honestly say that my Cuddlr's are "the best" thermal/waterproof trousers that I have ever owned and worn and at less than half the price; they are so affordable. No more pools of water in lap, soggy bottom or dithering involved. Having already used them in freezing temperatures and torrential rain, I just can not recommend them strongly enough. I'm an outdoors person anyway so I can see them becoming part of my daily wardrobe. I have 2 pairs, both with cuff bottoms, so no soggy socks either. They are long enough in the leg, so that sitting down they don't "ride" up leaving a gap to my boots. There are no zips to get stuck, break or leak and they are plenty room enough for me to transfer from my wheelchair as not to feel restricted. Plus, being in the wheelchair in the equine or just outdoor environment it's absolutely impossible to stay clean. Yet even whilst wearing them I can wipe down my Cuddlr's, clean up a little and not have to worry about causing them to leak or making them damp, water literally just runs off.i literally feel like I have met a new best friend. My biggest recommendation is to buy yourself a pair or two. You certainly won't regret it ‼️Debs Daniel 😊 5 ⭐️'s and plus some 👍

Instant warmth, BUT…

Mine have just arrived and are instantly warm! BUT,they don’t stretch, so mine have ridden up my leg by about 4 inches when I crouch! This won’t matter wearing thick socks and boots so I’m happy, but you might not be!

Super duper trousers

I HAVE to give these 5 stars. Most of the stuff I’ve bought on FB has turned out to be rubbish, so why should I expect these trousers to be any different?
I’m happy to report that they REALLY are waterproof, not to mention how toasty they are!
I only wish I’d bought them before winter when I first saw them advertised now, I wouldn’t have spent all winter with wet legs.
If you buy nothing else you really should buy these, absolutely perfect!

Thank you Terry for taking the time to provide a video review, we really apreciate it.

Well worth the price

Bought these for Iceland , did not need to layer up as these were so comfortable warm and cosy . Easy to wear. Well worth investing in a pair of these even for out walking in winter

Thank you Anne for taking the time to provide your feedback and images :)

Amazing purchase, so so happy

I bought these for using at the yard but I've also worn them for hiking in this wet weather. I've never been so warm and dry this time of year in 30 years of having a horse. Can definitely recommend.

Just right

Needed warm waterproof trousers for farm work. Can't comment on the waterproof quality yet but they're certainly warm.. I'm 5'1 and this pair is 2XL, plenty of wiggle room and can get another pair of trousers underneath.

C
Customer
Lovely quality.

I ordered these as I am an equestrian and I compete in woodland in all weather's as a field archer. I was a little sceptical about the product as I've had bad experiences previously when ordering goods from China. They took just over a week to arrive and I've got to say that the quality is lovy. I'm a size 16 but ordered the 20 which is a 6xl in the Chinese sizes, as a athlete I like plenty of room to move around in. The fit is good, comes nicely up your back and the string adjustment means you can tighten them enough to keep the wind out.

Fast delivery

Only just received so haven't had chance to try out yet, but very happy with the fast delivery to New Zealand. Only took 6 days. Quick try on and appear to be everything they say they are. Would go up a size then you normally buy. I'm normally a small but ordered medium and they only just fit. Can't wait to try out on trike.

Waterproof, warm and wonderful!

I bought two pairs trousers in early Winter 2025.
I’m a Powerchair/ all terrain scooter user and like to be out in all weathers.

I’d never managed to find a waterproof solution for my lower half and at only 4’ 10” never thought I really would.

I saw Cuddlr highly recommended by a user on a Facebook group for wheelchair folks so took a look at this website.
Not only were the trousers warm and waterproof, they came in a 27” inside leg which is perfect for me. I got the straight version with zips to go over boots.

They have served me so well in the cold and wet weather and I’m looking at the Adapt jacket now as an alternative to my dry robe which can be a bit cumbersome.

If you’re wondering whether to buy these, please go ahead with confidence. They’re great, do what they promise and I’m sure will last me many seasons to come.

I love my Cuddlr pants and jacket!

I just received my second Cuddlr item of clothing. I love my pants and jacket. They are incredibly warm and have been a god-send in this severe winter weather we are just emerging from. I highly recommend their clothing to anyone spending a lot of time outdoors. Plus their customer service is fabulous.

Great purchase

Amazing trousers.

Perfect fit too, I am a 5’11 female so often find trousers are not long enough. These are a generous leg length.

I purchased them for dog walking our new lab puppy who loves mud and water !

They have washed up brilliantly and are incredibly warm too.

I was dubious about whether these trousers would be as good as they claim but they are even better!! I also have the gloves and socks and the coat is on order!!

I don’t have to be cold ever again !

My mother-in-law purchased the pants for herself, but didn’t end up using them and gave them to me and I loved them so much. I bought the jacket as well now I am bundled up and warm and don’t mind going out to do my barn chores because I don’t have to worry about freezing my buns off😁

Great trousers - great customer service

Mike at Cuddlr immediately replaced a damaged pair of trousers (no quibble). I now have my warm fleece-lined trousers (straight leg). Great when out in my wheelchair. Will order a pair of the cuffed ones soon. Thank you. One downside- still waiting for bag ordered at same time 2 weeks ago)

Diane Bader
not too sure

Beautifully made packaged and delivered however there isn't much room for movement is it possible I miss ordered the size? The leg is correct but it feels real tight around the middle I ordered a L perhaps i should have gone one size higher?

Excellent buy

I bought two pairs of trousers for my friend and I. We both live in the West of Scotland, where we do see some weather! We both wild swim and when coming out of the water, are normally freezing. I’m hoping that the trousers will be a boon but in the meantime, I’ve been out walking on the coldest, frosty day and must say, I was piping hot. Delighted so far with the buy.
