Rain happens. Getting soaked is optional. When it comes to outfitting schools, youth sports clubs, or outdoor activity groups, finding a jacket that can truly stand up to the unpredictable British weather is essential. You need something durable, warm, and highly water-resistant, but also practical for customisation.
Enter the Result Kids/Youths Fleece Lined StormDri 4000 Jacket (RS160B).
Long considered a heavyweight champion in wholesale schoolwear and team outerwear, the RS160B is engineered to keep children warm and dry in harsh conditions. Here is a deep dive into why this weatherproof staple remains a top seller at Fire Label.
Built for the Downpour: Core Fabric & Protection
Children are famously tough on their clothes, and outerwear takes the brunt of the damage. The StormDri 4000 is built with a rugged, PVC-coated StormDri 4000 polyester outer shell.
-
Fully Waterproof & Windproof: The jacket features fully taped seams, ensuring that heavy rain cannot penetrate the stitching, while the windproof outer barrier blocks out bitter chills.
-
Thermal Insulation: Inside, a heavy 280gsm pill-resistant polyester fleece lining traps body heat, providing exceptional warmth without restricting a child’s movement on the playground or the pitch.
-
Built to Last: Double-stitched seams guarantee that the garment holds its structure through everyday wear and tear.
Practical Features for Kids and Parents
Result has packed this jacket with smart, highly functional details designed specifically for younger wearers:
-
Draught-Proofing: A concealed, adjustable fleece-lined hood, elasticated cuffs, and a full-length zip secured by a studded storm flap work together to seal out cold draughts.
-
Ample Storage: Two front zip pockets give kids a secure place to keep their hands warm or store small essentials.
-
Enhanced Visibility: Dark winter afternoons require extra safety measures. The jacket features a high-visibility reflective safety triangle to help keep kids seen in low-light conditions.
A Dream for Decorators and Brands
If you are sourcing jackets for a school uniform shop, a scout group, or a football academy, customisation is usually the final step. The RS160B makes rebranding incredibly straightforward:
-
Easy Access: The jacket features tear-release access, allowing decorators to easily hoop the outer shell for high-quality embroidery or screen printing without sewing through the fleece lining.
-
Cut-Out Label: The manufacturer's neck tag can be easily removed to make way for your own bespoke woven labels or club sizing tags.
A Greener Future
As the textile industry shifts toward more sustainable practices, Result is actively transitioning the RS160B model to use 100% recycled polyester and moving from its legacy reversible design to a dedicated, high-performance fleece-lined interior. This ensures you get the same legendary weather protection while supporting a lower environmental footprint.
The Verdict
Priced competitively at just £22.96 (regular price), the Result Kids/Youths Fleece Lined StormDri 4000 Jacket (RS160B) offers unbeatable value for schools, uniform providers, and parents looking for reliable winter outerwear. It proves that bad weather just requires better gear.
