Quick answer: The best kids snowsuit brands in Canada depend on your child's age, winter and activity. At Jenni Kidz, Deux par Deux has the widest range (3 months to size 16, many styles rated -30°C), Blizz sells five-piece sets tagged -40°C, Nano adds ski-style details for ages 2 to 14, and Hatley covers babies and toddlers.
This guide compares the four snowsuit brands Jenni Kidz carries, using what each brand lists on its product pages: temperature rating, water rating, sizes, construction and what comes in the box. You'll see which brand suits which child and how to compare one brand's snowsuit (or snow suit) against another's fairly.
This article is general information, not medical advice. Product details come from current Jenni Kidz product pages and brand websites, checked in October 2026. Specs can change between seasons, so confirm the exact style's page before you buy.
Which kids snowsuit brands does Jenni Kidz carry?
Jenni Kidz carries snowsuits from four brands: Deux par Deux, Blizz, Nano and Hatley. Deux par Deux makes up most of the range, from baby one-pieces to size 16 ski sets. Blizz and Nano focus on school-age sets, and Hatley's snowsuits are for babies and toddlers.
You can browse all four in the Kids Snowsuits collection or go straight to each brand: Deux par Deux, Blizz, Nano and Hatley.
Before you compare, know that every brand writes its own specs. None of the product pages we checked describe a shared test method, so use the numbers confidently within one brand and as a rough guide across brands.
How do the four snowsuit brands compare?
Deux par Deux gives the most detailed specs and the widest size range, Blizz bundles a full set of accessories and lists the coldest rating, Nano adds ski-style features to school-age suits, and Hatley focuses on simple one-pieces for babies and toddlers. The table summarizes what each brand lists on the styles we checked.
| Brand | Formats at Jenni Kidz | Sizes on styles checked | Temperature rating listed | Water rating listed | Stand-out details | Good starting point for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deux par Deux | One-piece, two-piece, snow pants and bibs, baby lines | 3m to size 16, depending on the line | -30°C on PLAY, DISCOVER, TEKNIK and Baby Original styles; -20°C on a baby two-piece; -5°C on CHILL | 5,000 mm (baby styles), 10,000 mm (PLAY, DISCOVER, CHILL), 15,000 mm (TEKNIK) | Cordura reinforcement, extendable sleeves and hems, hood snow guards | Families who want detailed specs and one brand from baby to teen |
| Blizz | Five-piece sets for kids (two-piece suit plus accessories); four-piece baby set | 4Y to 16Y on kids' sets | -40°C (Blizz hang tag) | 5,000 mm coating | Hat, neck warmer and mitts or gloves included; height-based size chart | Kids who need a complete matching outfit in one purchase |
| Nano | One-piece and two-piece (jacket and bib pants) | 2Y to 8Y (one-piece), 4Y to 14Y (two-piece) | -30°C (Nano) | 5,000 mm water repellency | Powder skirt, inner boot gaiters, reinforced knees, seat and hems | School-age kids who want ski-style details |
| Hatley | One-piece toddler suit, baby bundlers, puffer and ski jackets | 9-12M to 18-24M (bundlers), 24M to 5Y (Snowday Suit) | Not listed on the pages we checked | No mm figure; bundler described as waterproof, Snowday Suit has sealed critical seams | Two-zipper step-in front, internal storm cuffs, fold-over mitts and booties on bundlers | Babies and toddlers who need quick, simple dressing |
One-piece or two-piece: which brands make which?
Choose the format before the brand, because it changes dressing, washroom breaks and coverage more than the label does. At Jenni Kidz, Deux par Deux and Nano offer both formats, Blizz's kids' sets are two-piece (a jacket plus bib snow pants), and Hatley's snowsuit options are one-piece.
A one-piece gives continuous coverage with no gap at the waist, which helps babies, toddlers and kids who roll in snow. A two-piece lets a school-age child wear the jacket on its own and manage washroom trips more easily. Our one-piece vs two-piece snowsuit guide covers the full decision, and the recess-ready snowsuit guide for ages 3 to 10 covers school routines.
Once you know the format, shop one-piece snowsuits or two-piece snowsuits and compare brands within it.
What does Deux par Deux offer?
Deux par Deux has the widest snowsuit range at Jenni Kidz and the most detailed specs. Its website lists four kids' series (DISCOVER, PLAY, TEKNIK and CHILL) plus baby series such as ORIGINAL, SNUG and CLOUD. Each series has its own rating, water figure and size range, so the line matters more than the print.
Which Deux par Deux line fits which child?
- PLAY (sizes 2 to 14): the everyday line for recess, daycare and sledding. On the PLAY two-piece snowsuit with dinosaur-print pants, Deux par Deux lists a -30°C (-22°F) rating, 10,000 mm waterproofing, 5,000 g/m²/24h breathability and 500D Cordura at the knees, seat and hems. A polar fleece neckwarmer is included.
- DISCOVER (sizes 2 to 8): a simpler line for younger kids. On the DISCOVER Blue Bear two-piece, Deux par Deux lists the same -30°C rating and 10,000 mm figure, bib pants with detachable suspenders and Cordura on the legs and seat.
- TEKNIK (sizes 4 to 16): the ski and snowboard line. The Deux par Deux website describes TEKNIK as designed in Montreal with a 15,000 mm waterproof rating and -30°C protection. The TEKNIK two-piece snowsuit in royal blue and yellow lists 15,000 mm waterproofing, 15,000 g/m²/24h breathability, recycled PrimaLoft insulation, an adjustable powder skirt and Cordura at the knees, seat and hems.
- CHILL (sizes 2 to 14): a lightweight line for milder days. The CHILL sage green set is rated to -5°C (23°F), with a fully seam-sealed 10,000 mm shell, and its product page says it suits milder winter days and spring ski trips more than deep cold.
- Baby Original (6m to 30m/2T): a puffy one-piece for babies and young toddlers. The Baby Original one-piece puffy snowsuit in black lists a -30°C (-22°F) rating, 5,000 mm waterproofing, removable fleece-lined mittens and booties, adjustable stirrups and an included neckwarmer.
For a line-by-line breakdown, read our Deux par Deux DISCOVER vs PLAY vs TEKNIK guide. For fit, care and spec reading within the brand, see the Deux par Deux snowsuit sizing, warmth and fit guide.
Who is Deux par Deux a good fit for?
It suits families who compare exact numbers, kids who are outside every day and siblings of different ages, since one brand covers 3 months to size 16. The trade-off is choice: narrow it down by line and size before picking a print.
What does Blizz offer?
Blizz sells complete winter sets. Its kids' sets at Jenni Kidz come in five pieces: a hooded jacket, bib snow pants, a hat, a neck warmer and mitts or gloves. On the Blizz five-piece girls' snowsuit set in Beautyberry, Blizz lists a -40°C rating on its hang tag, a 5,000 mm coating, polyester fill, taffeta and polar fleece lining, and reinforcement at the inside hem of the pants.
Kids' sets run from 4Y to 16Y, and Blizz pairs each size with a height on its chart (for example, 7Y with 127 cm and 12Y with 150 cm). Blizz also makes a four-piece baby set.
Who is Blizz a good fit for?
Blizz makes sense when a child needs everything at once, such as a first Canadian winter or a growth spurt that also outgrew last year's hat and mitts. Two trade-offs: the 5,000 mm coating is half the figure Deux par Deux lists for PLAY, which matters on slushy days, and some sets come with gloves, while the Canadian Paediatric Society recommends mittens so fingers can bunch together for warmth.
What does Nano offer?
Nano's snowsuits at Jenni Kidz are mostly school-age sets with ski-style details. On the Nano Gabriel two-piece snowsuit, Nano lists sizes 4Y to 14Y, a -30°C rating, 5,000 mm water repellency, a 5,000 breathability figure, a powder skirt, inner boot gaiters, reinforced knees, seat and hems, and 30,000-rub wear resistance. The Nano Raya one-piece covers sizes 2Y to 8Y with the same rating and fabric figures.
Who is Nano a good fit for?
Nano works well for kids who sled, ski or spend long recesses in deep snow, where the powder skirt and boot gaiters help keep snow out at the waist and ankles. The trade-off is range: Nano offers fewer styles than Deux par Deux. Also note that Nano words its figure as water repellency, which is not the same claim as a waterproof rating.
What does Hatley offer?
Hatley's winter range at Jenni Kidz is aimed at babies and toddlers, plus puffer and ski jackets for older kids. The Hatley Navy Toddler Snowday Suit is a one-piece in sizes 24M to 5Y with two front zippers and storm guards framing a center panel, so the suit opens wide for stepping in. Hatley lists internal storm cuffs, reinforced knee patches, sealed critical seams, a quilted lining and machine washing.
For babies, Hatley describes its winter bundlers (9-12M to 18-24M) as insulated, waterproof one-piece puffers with fold-over mitts and booties. The Hatley pages we checked list no temperature rating or mm figure, so compare these suits on features and fit.
Who is Hatley a good fit for?
Hatley suits toddlers who fight getting dressed, because the step-in front is quicker than a single zipper. For long days in deep cold, compare it with a rated one-piece from Deux par Deux or Nano. Hatley's puffer and ski jackets are not full snowsuits, so pair them with snow pants for recess.
How should you compare snowsuit specs across brands?
Line up the same details on every product page and compare like with like: a one-piece against a one-piece, a ski set against a ski set. Our snowsuit warmth ratings guide explains what the numbers mean. This list shows how to use them across brands.
- Who sets the rating. Blizz uses a -40°C hang tag; Deux par Deux and Nano list -30°C on most kids' styles. A 10-degree gap on paper is not proof that one suit is warmer.
- How the water figure is worded. Deux par Deux lists waterproofing of 5,000 to 15,000 mm, Blizz a 5,000 mm coating and Nano 5,000 mm water repellency. Read the words, not just the number.
- Seams. CHILL is listed as fully seam-sealed and the Hatley Snowday Suit as having sealed critical seams. If seams are not mentioned, don't assume they are sealed.
- Snow-blocking features. Look for a powder skirt (TEKNIK, Nano), a snow guard in the hood (Deux par Deux PLAY and Baby Original) and ankle snow gaiters.
- Wear zones. Deux par Deux uses Cordura at the knees, seat and hems; Nano reinforces the knees, seat and hems; Blizz reinforces the inside hem; Hatley adds knee patches.
- Growth features. On the Deux par Deux styles we checked, sleeves extend 4 cm (1.5 in) and adjustable hems add 5.7 to 7.6 cm (2 1/4 to 3 in).
- What's included. Blizz includes a hat, neck warmer and mitts or gloves; Deux par Deux PLAY and Baby Original styles include a neckwarmer.
- Fit advice. Deux par Deux says its suits fit generously and advises against sizing up, while Blizz gives a height for every size.
Which brand fits your child's age and winter routine?
Start with age and daily routine, then match the brand. Here is how the four brands line up for common situations.
Which brand suits babies under 2?
Look at one-pieces that cover hands and feet. The Deux par Deux Baby Original (6m to 30m/2T) has removable mittens and booties, Hatley's bundlers have fold-over mitts and booties, and Blizz makes a four-piece baby set. Compare current styles in baby girls snowsuits and baby boys snowsuits. The Canadian Paediatric Society notes that babies need extra care and bundling because they cannot generate body heat or tell you they are cold the way an older child can. If you're choosing between a snowsuit and a bunting bag, see our infant bunting vs one-piece snowsuit guide.
Car seat note: The American Academy of Pediatrics advises that bulky clothing, including winter coats and snowsuits, should not be worn underneath the harness of a car seat. Follow your car seat manufacturer's instructions.
Which brand suits toddlers and preschoolers (2 to 5)?
A one-piece is usually the easier daily choice. The Hatley Snowday Suit's step-in front speeds up dressing, Deux par Deux PLAY and DISCOVER start at size 2, and the Nano Raya one-piece runs from 2Y to 8Y. During potty training, a two-piece can make daycare washroom trips simpler.
Which brand suits school-age kids (5 to 10)?
Two-piece sets fit most school routines because the jacket works on its own. Deux par Deux PLAY and DISCOVER, Blizz sets and Nano two-pieces all cover this range. Browse girls snowsuits or boys snowsuits, and if you're weighing a coat alone against a full suit, read winter coat or snowsuit for school.
Which brands go up to size 16?
Deux par Deux TEKNIK and Blizz sets reach size 16; Deux par Deux PLAY and Nano two-pieces reach size 14. Check the chart against your child's height, since older kids vary more within an age.
Which brand suits ski and snowboard days?
TEKNIK is the line built for the hill. The Deux par Deux website says it has features built for alpine skiing and snowboarding, and its 15,000 mm figure is the highest among the styles we checked. Nano's powder skirt and boot gaiters also help on the slopes.
Which brand suits milder or wetter winters?
Coastal winters and spring days call for water resistance more than the warmest rating. Deux par Deux CHILL (-5°C, fully seam-sealed, 10,000 mm) fits these days. The Canadian Paediatric Society warns that a child dressed too warm can sweat and then feel colder when they stop playing.
How do Canadian winter conditions change the choice?
Wind and wet matter as much as the thermometer. Environment and Climate Change Canada explains that "the weather outside feels colder when it is windy," and its Wind Chill Index puts -28 to -39 in the high-risk band, where any exposed skin can freeze in 10 to 30 minutes. The Canadian Paediatric Society suggests considering keeping children indoors when the temperature or wind chill is -27°C (-16°F) or lower. So a -30°C or -40°C tag is a way to compare suits, not a sign that kids should play outside at that temperature.
Layers do much of the work. The Canadian Paediatric Society recommends layers that are easy to put on and take off, mittens instead of gloves, a neck warmer instead of a scarf, and removing wet clothing right after play. The American Academy of Pediatrics also recommends several thin layers. Blizz and several Deux par Deux styles include a neck warmer.
This section is general information, not medical advice. If you notice signs of frostbite or a child who is very cold and slow to respond, contact a health professional or call 911.
How does sizing differ between brands?
Each brand sizes differently, so use that brand's own chart and your child's current height rather than their age. Deux par Deux says its suits fit generously and advises against sizing up; Blizz gives a height for each size; Nano and Hatley use year and month sizes.
Our snowsuit sizing guide for babies, toddlers and big kids walks through measuring and fit tests at home. Buying for someone else's child? Use what size snowsuit to buy as a gift.
What mistakes do parents make when comparing snowsuit brands?
Most mistakes come from comparing a single number instead of the whole suit. Watch for these:
- Treating a -40°C tag and a -30°C rating as a direct head-to-head, when each brand sets its own rating.
- Comparing a ski set with a toddler one-piece, or a Hatley jacket with a full snowsuit.
- Choosing the warmest rating for a wet coastal winter, where sealed seams and water resistance matter more.
- Sizing up in a brand that already says it fits generously.
- Assuming every style from one brand shares the same specs. Deux par Deux alone ranges from -5°C (CHILL) to -30°C.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best kids snowsuit brands in Canada?
It depends on the child. At Jenni Kidz, Deux par Deux offers the widest range and the most detailed specs, Blizz sells five-piece sets with accessories, Nano adds ski-style features for school-age kids, and Hatley focuses on one-piece suits and bundlers for babies and toddlers.
Is a -40°C snowsuit warmer than a -30°C snowsuit?
Not necessarily. Each brand sets its own temperature rating, and the product pages we checked do not describe a shared test method. Compare insulation, fit, wind and water details, and layers rather than the rating alone. The Canadian Paediatric Society suggests considering keeping kids indoors at -27°C or colder, including wind chill.
Which kids snowsuit has the highest waterproof rating at Jenni Kidz?
Among the styles we checked, Deux par Deux TEKNIK lists the highest figure at 15,000 mm waterproofing, along with 15,000 g/m²/24h breathability. Deux par Deux PLAY and DISCOVER list 10,000 mm, while Blizz and Nano list 5,000 mm.
Which snowsuit brand is good for toddlers?
Look at one-pieces. The Hatley Snowday Suit (24M to 5Y) has a two-zipper step-in front, Deux par Deux PLAY and DISCOVER start at size 2, and the Nano Raya one-piece runs from 2Y to 8Y. Choose the one that fits your child's height and daily routine.
Should I size up when buying a snowsuit?
Usually not. Deux par Deux says its suits fit generously and advises against sizing up, and its extendable sleeves and hems add room within a size. For other brands, match your child's current height to the brand's own chart, such as the Blizz height chart.
Which snowsuit brands include mittens or a hat?
Blizz kids' sets include a hat, a neck warmer and mitts or gloves. Deux par Deux PLAY styles include a neckwarmer, and the Deux par Deux Baby Original one-piece comes with removable mittens, booties and a neckwarmer. Most other suits need separate accessories.
Is a lightweight snowsuit enough for a Canadian winter?
It depends on where you live. Deux par Deux rates its lightweight CHILL line to -5°C, and its product page says it suits milder winter days and spring ski trips more than deep cold. For colder inland winters, compare insulated suits rated to -30°C.
Bottom Line
There is no single winner among kids snowsuit brands in Canada, only a right brand for each child. Choose Deux par Deux for detailed specs and a line for every age, Blizz for a complete set with accessories, Nano for school-age kids who want ski-style features, and Hatley for quick step-in toddler and baby suits. Pick the format first, compare like with like, size with the brand's own chart, and treat temperature ratings as a comparison tool, not a playtime limit. Start in the Kids Snowsuits collection and filter by your child's size.
