About Spotty Otter

Spotty Otter is a British brand making outdoor clothing and footwear for babies and young children, aimed squarely at the sort of nursery and forest school that goes outside whatever the sky is doing.
The business is independent and small rather than part of a chain, yet its children's footwear has collected a string of industry awards, which is rare at that scale.

What they make

Waterproof and windproof trousers, dungarees, jackets and all-in-one suits, fleece and insulated mid-layers, wellingtons and outdoor footwear, hats and mittens, mostly sized from baby up through the early primary years.
The range is built around layering rather than around one heavy coat, which is what actually works for a child moving between a warm classroom and a wet field.

Dressing a child for outdoors

Waterproof means two things and both are stated. The hydrostatic head figure describes how much water pressure the fabric holds out; the breathability figure describes how much sweat gets out. A cheap coat with a high waterproof rating and no breathability makes a child damp from the inside.
Taped seams matter as much as the fabric. Water goes through stitching first, and an untaped seam on a puddle-suit is where the wet knees come from.
Size up rather than down for outerwear worn over a jumper, and check the cuff and ankle closures — that is where water and cold get in on a child who is crawling or kneeling.
Waterproofs need reproofing, not just washing. Ordinary detergent strips the finish; wash with a technical cleaner and reapply a proofer once a season, and a suit lasts through two children instead of one.

Using a Spotty Otter discount code

Choose the size, apply the code before payment and check the total. These appear as Spotty Otter discount codes, voucher codes and promo codes.
Small independents discount at the ends of seasons and on retiring colourways rather than continuously, and outdoor kit clears in spring rather than in autumn. Clearance sizes are single items and rarely take a further reduction.
