Kids' winter jackets and rain coats in South Africa: prices and sizes

Updated 4 November 2026

In South Africa, kids' bomber and padded jackets cost about R 200 to R 379, puffer jackets about R 269 to R 800, and technical sports jackets about R 460 to R 2,099. These are approximate prices, according to sellers' websites in November 2026. To find the right jacket for your child, post a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Sizes and how to measure

Listings use age ranges such as 7 to 8 years, sizes such as 2 to 3, or letters. Measure the child's height in centimetres and compare it with the seller's size chart, because age labels vary between brands. Ask the seller to confirm the chest and length measurements in centimetres before you pay.

Warranty and school uniform rules

Under the consumer rules explained by the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud, every item has an automatic six-month warranty that it will comply with the stated requirements, on top of any warranty the seller gives. Some brands give two years against defects in materials and workmanship, so ask which applies. For school jackets, the Commission's school uniform guidelines target exclusive items such as ties, blazers and caps. Check your school's list before you buy.

Season and when to buy

Winter runs from June to August. Buying in November leaves time to try the size on the child before the cold months arrive.

Delivery and what to ask

Ask whether the seller delivers to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Cape Town or Gqeberha, and what it costs. Sizes can differ between sellers, so ask for the exact measurements of the jacket before paying.

What to write in your request

Name the jacket type (puffer, bomber, rain or sports), the child's age and height in centimetres, and whether it is for a boy or a girl. Say how warm the jacket should be for winter and whether it should be new or used. Add the colour you prefer, your delivery city and your budget in rand.
