Summer is here, yay! That means it’s time to finally switch from snow suits and rain suits to swimsuits and cute sunhats.
If you’ve been a reader of our blog or following our Instagram, you know we’re big fans of Jan & Jul kids’ gear, an affordable Canadian company. I raved about their sunhats last year, and then again about their snow suits this past winter, but it wasn’t until now that we got to test out a whole bunch of summer gear.
Because summer goes by so quickly, there’s no room for error when switching brands and gear, especially when we parents have other things to worry about. Like snacks and activities. And life in general.
So let me save you some time when choosing summer gear for your kids.
We’ve tried Jan & Jul’s:
Basically, all you need for a great summer filled with water activities.
This is my honest review of the gear, with some comments from my 5-year-old son, who has his own opinion about everything we get for him.
What parents want: to protect their child’s eyes and be indestructible.
Jan & Jul’s sunglasses check both boxes. Their sunglasses are polarized with UVA, UVB protection, and UV 400 lenses. They’re super lightweight and truly indestructible. I asked my son to walk over them, just to test them, which he happily obliged, and there wasn’t a tiny scratch or crack on them.
What kids want: cool-looking sunglasses.
My son said the sunglasses look cool, so I know he’s going to wear them. Jan & Jul offers 25 different shapes and colours to choose from.
