Hi All,
SO Sorry for the delay in sending this review through for the Silly Billyz! Combination of being crazy busy, life with a toddler and totally forgetful.
Well Joseph absolutely LOVES his new Silly Billyz clothes! We have had lots of days here where normally we would be cooped up inside but now with Silly Billyz there is no excuse! (Except that Mum gets cold & wet outside :-/  Perhaps they need to make Mummy sized ones)

These are really easy to get on although sometimes the lined pants can be a little more tricky with a toddler raring to go outside not wanting to sit still. Just the lining can be a little tricky - but this is not be expected with any lined pants.
Jacket is great! Water just runs off and is easy to wipe clean of mud, rain, sand, snow, food or whatever other yucky things toddlers like getting into. Also easy enough to throw into the machine and clean up after really messy outside time!
They are also pretty hard wearing as Joseph likes climbing everything - trees, concrete, playgrounds, and these didn't show any wear at all. So I think they would be great for a crawler too.

These are nice and snuggly and warm so no need to have 100 layers on underneath them as you can guarantee they are going to stay dry & therefore warm. Elastic around the wrists & ankles also helps keep water, mud and snow out as well.
Joe wasn't so keen on the velcro under his chin to keep the hood up & closed. But it wasn't a big deal.
All in all I would thoroughly recommend Silly Billyz to anyone, especially a mum of a little boy!!!
(Only down side is Joseph always wants to go outside now, and there is no excuse (except Mummy gets cold)
Love Love Love!!!!!!

Sorry for the delay in feedback, these fantastic outdoors clothes turned up when a nasty flu was circulating the house and no one wanted to get off the couch let alone go outside!

Today it finally rained so after lunch I decided to test out the silly billyz jacket and pants.  I received these about a week ago and as soon as they came in the door I opened them.  The very high quality of the outer fabric was evident by sight and feel and the inner fleece was made to the same quality as I put my arm in it and felt instant warmth and it was very soft too which would be lovely to wear.  The stitching of the garments was also of high quality as there were no loose threads or unsightly stitching.  The idea of having a piece of fabric close to the body then a zip  then another piece of fabric over with velcro attached is a great idea as it makes sure that the opening of the jacket is well closed and doesnt allow any cracks for the water to get in.

My 16 month old is very active and doesnt like to have to stay still for more then a few seconds so getting the jacket and pants on was very easy and even though it had two things to close the jacket it was very quick to close.  The elasticated ends of the arms and legs was another great idea to make an opening watertight and the leg ends were easy to tuck into a long pair of gumboots.  The hood which had a velcro closing at the bottom was great for keeping it on his head as he tends to pull other hats off.

Within a minute my son was outside into the rain which was a downpour and out into the mud and his sandpit.  His sister decided to put on her basic raincoat and join him but was inside within a couple of minutes because as well as the downpour there was a bitter cold wind so she got very cold.  My son didnt however feel any cold so carried on getting nice and muddy and sandy.  It was evident that the waterproofing in the garments was top notch as when the rain hit the fabric it dripped down and off the garment and didnt sit on it to make it saturated.  After nearly an hour of standing out under my umbrella while my son played I decided to take him inside because I was getting too cold.

Taking the jacket and pants off was an ease and not hard like having to pull off wet clothes and I didnt muck around rinsing it I just threw it straight into the washing machine.  When I was taking them off you could feel the warmth on my sons clothes underneath and it was amazing that even though he was outside in this horrible weather it felt like he had just taken off a warm snuggly blanket.

I would HIGHLY reccommend this product to parents and could imagine it would be great for farm children that go out on the farm with their parents in all sorts of horrible weather and could imagine that you could put your child in this suit when in the snow as it is that warm and of high quality.

I have looked through the other silly billyz product in the bpm catalogue and there are other great product in there to and am thinking about getting some of the feeding clothes.  Thank you so much for letting me review these and I will be recommending these wet weather clothes to the paretns at my playcentre and to all the kidspot mums, these garments really are worth getting and is well above any other wet weather gear I have tried.

Our package of goodies arrived the other day and we were keen to get out and try them out straight away. The sun was shining but the ground was nice and muddy and wet from the last few days of rain so a great chance to get all dirty and try them out. 

So I popped the jacket and pants on my little man.  The Pants were super easy to put on my wriggling toddler they just slipped right on and the jacket was pretty easy too just had a zip and then some handy little velcro strips that went over the zip.  The inside is really warm with a fleecy lining and I loved the bright lime colour on ours. 

The elastic around the waist, ankles and wrists help to keep everything in place.  The jacket has a hat that you can put on or not, it was easy to secure with a bit of velcro. 

They are made of high quality material.  The waterproof outing of the jacket and pants is really tough and easily handled my son dragging them along the concrete as he crawled along or rubbed against the brick wall of our house.  After my son found a bucket of water we carried out the waterproof test and these passed easily.  The water just rolled off the clothing and definitely didn’t soak through.  

I love the cute stripes on the back, made it so easy to see Milan as he tried to take off out of the backyard and would be great if you were at a park with lots of other kiddies around to spot yours. 

Milan had no trouble moving around in it and managed to run, climb, crawl and squeeze in between pots and walls quite easily.  By the end of our fun outside the pants were covered in mud. 

You know how kids clothes seem to stick to them when they’re wet well these didn’t I was able to just pull them off Milan really quickly (gotta love that if you have a wriggling toddler like mine) I just popped them straight in the washing machine (no rinsing first, we are a family of 5 so I’m all for clothes that don’t need rinsing first) washed them in a cold, normal wash nothing fancy.  To be honest I was expecting to see traces of our outside, muddy, fun but no … nothing they came out clean so just popped them out to dry.  Easy peasy love them!   

Now I just have to go clean his muddy covered shoes!

OOh I would love to trial this - jacket would be great for any cool day in Wellington's winter & pants especially great for parks here, sandpit & when we go to weekly Nature Playschool with PORSE childcare group!  My almost 2 year old always wants to play on the playgrounds even if they are wet from earlier rain so this would be fantastic for her stage & play development...plus save on washing for busy mummy!

These would be great for my daughter to wear on those cold winter mornings watching the kids sport :).

Aww these would be perfect to try as we are heading to christchurch in a couple of weeks to visit my daughters daddy and with the weather the last few days I think we need to invest in something like these. Email sent as well :)

Would love my girl to try these she is always getting wet and mucky
