CLOSED: Puddle-Stomping Fun with Hatley Children's Rainboots Review & Giveaway



I am pleased to tell you all about my newest giveaway sponsored by one of my absolute favorite companies, Hatley.  My daughter has been wearing Hatley apparel since she was a baby, so I was extremely excited when I found out I'd be reviewing their children's rainboots...and even more excited that one reader will win their choice of a pair of Girl's or Boy's Hatley Rainboots.

If you hop on over to Hatley's website, you'll find some interesting facts aout the business:

About Hatley

Hatley is a family-run company, who has been helping people get 'clothes to nature' with its cotton pajamas and loungewear for over twenty years.

Hatley’s apparel is covered in color and pun, using clever play on words and popular culture in addition to vibrant and original designs inspired by nature and wildlife.

For the bearly sleeping mum, slowpoke infant who is trailing a little behind or the energetic child looking for some puddle stomping fun, Hatley’s pajamas, loungewear and rain gear make the perfect gift for holidays, occasions or just for fun…or maybe pun.

Hatley is an extremely environmentally aware company which I find to be a huge bonus to their absolutely adorable fashions.  According to their website, Hatley has adopted some "GREEN" policies:

"After some soul searching, a few well-intentioned ‘green’ initiatives and some consulting fees, we think we have figured out what Hatley and the environment is all about – quality. This is the key factor because it means that the products Hatley makes are designed to last. Your PJs will make it to child number three, four and more. You won’t get tired of laughing at a pair of boxers and your raincoat won’t leak. A Hatley product will always have a place in your home and not in a dumpster.



The Review:

As I said earlier, my family loves Hatley...especially their children's rainwear products.  My daughter sports Hatley rain boots in perfect sunshine... no rain needed! I will say, however, that they really do come in handy on rainy days as well.

To be honest, the bright colors and unique prints are what first drew me to the brand, but the quality is what keeps me coming back for more.  To date, my daughter owns 5 pair of Hatley Rainboots with matching Raincoats and various accessories including unmbrellas. 

They look adorable with sundresses, jeans, and even little leggings.  We receive an outpuring of compliments each time she wears them, and Hatley rainboots have become a staple in my daughter's wardrobe.  They are cute, yet comfortable... and very durable.  These boots have been literally cross country and back on several occassions, have tromped their way around Disney's Magic Kingdom, climbed mountains in NC, and have trudged up the coast of Northern California... receiving compliments all the way!

Hatley is definitely not limited to rainwear, and carry Men's and Women's clothing and even Gift and Kitchen Items!

It feels good to support a company that is both Socially and Environmentally aware...and another BONUS?  They're high quality and absolutely adorable!
