Didriksons - Rain suit set 5 for kids - Slaskeman - 2 Color - Peacock Green

The Slaskeman by Didriksons is a rain set that is fully windproof and waterproof with welded seams. The rain jacket has snap fasteners down the front, visible reflectors all round and a detachable hood. Elasticated cuffs and raglan sleeves for optimal ease of movement. The inside collar is a soft fleece material and the hem is elasticated at the sides to minimise the risk of the jacket riding up. The rain pants have a higher bib and the fit can be adjusted with snap fasteners on the sides and adjustable braces. Elasticated hems with adjustable and replaceable foot straps.

Didriksons started in 1913 in Grundsund, Sweden. The Didriksons company started making waterproof jackets for fishermen that would protect them from the cold, wet and rough conditions on Swedish waters. At the time, more fishermen died from hypothermia than from drowning. The very first coats were nothing more than pieces of fabric that were coated several times with layers of (linseed) oil using a brush. After this the 'oilskins' were hung out to dry. When these had dried sufficiently the fishermen could wear them in the cold and wetness on the water. The fishermen spontaneously stayed dry and warm and soon the demand for these early Didriksons 'raincoats' increased rapidly.
