Taking a Look at Two-Piece Play Snowsuit Navy And Brown

Deux par Deux Two-Piece Play Snowsuit Review — Worth it for Active Kids?

Finding a children’s snowsuit that actually keeps a kid warm, dry, and free to move on the hill or the sledding hill is harder than it sounds. Many families end up juggling oversized parkas, soggy pants, and boots full of snow. The Deux par Deux Two-Piece Play Snowsuit (Navy and Brown) promises waterproof, breathable protection and insulation rated down to -30°C (-22°F) — so on paper it looks like a simple fix. This review walks through how it performs in real conditions, materials and construction, who should consider it, and whether it’s worth the price.

Quick snapshot

• Brand: Deux par Deux
• Model: Two-Piece Play Snowsuit — Navy and Brown
• Key claims: Waterproof, breathable, insulated to -30°C (-22°F)
• Price (sale): CAD 119.50–124.50 (regular CAD 239–249)
• Sizes: 2–14 (two-piece setup: jacket + bib-style pants)

Material & Quality

The build of this snowsuit focuses on durability and kid-friendly features:

• Outer shell: Waterproof and breathable fabric designed for real winter use. Seams and closures include a protective wind flap and chin guard to cut drafts.
• Insulation: Rated for extreme cold down to -30°C (-22°F). The jacket is fleece-lined for core warmth and softness against the skin.
• Reinforcements: Pants feature Cordura®-reinforced panels at high-wear areas (seat and lower legs), which helps when kids spend time sliding, kneeling, or playing in rough snow.
• Details: Detachable, adjustable hood; articulated sleeves and knees for mobility; snow skirt and elastic cuffs in the jacket; ankle snow guards on pants; adjustable/removable suspenders; zippered pockets for ski passes and small items.

Real-world experience — Pros & Cons

Pros

• Warmth: The insulation and fleece lining make a noticeable difference on windy, cold days — my tester stayed cozy on sub-freezing afternoons that would leave lighter jackets shivering.
• Mobility: Articulated sleeves and knees let kids bend, climb, and run without the suit feeling restrictive. The separate jacket and pants balance layering and movement well.
• Durability: Cordura® panels and reinforced knees feel built for active use — fewer rips and wear from sleds or playground surfaces.
• Practical features: Expandable sleeves for growth, removable suspenders, zip pockets for passes, and a snow skirt on the jacket are thoughtful touches parents will appreciate.
• Weather protection: The wind flap, chin guard, and elastic cuffs block drafts and keep snow out better than many bargain snowsuits.

Cons

• Bulk: Insulation and reinforcements add weight and bulk compared with lightweight shell systems. Younger, less tolerant kids might resist the feel at first.
• Sizing nuance: The fit runs true-to-size but can be snug over thick layers; consider sizing up if you plan heavy layering or want more season overlap.
• Price when not on sale: Regular price (CAD 239–249) is high for a kid’s two-piece; the sale price makes it much more competitive.
• Color choices: The navy/brown colorway is versatile but lacks high-visibility colors or reflective accents some parents prefer for low-light outings.

Fit, durability & care

The suit is built to last a season or more with typical playground/ski use. Expandable sleeves and adjustable suspenders add season longevity. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low or hang to dry; follow care labels to preserve waterproofing. Expect a slightly snug fit if layering heavy thermals — sizing up is a common recommendation.

Quick comparison: Deux par Deux vs. Columbia Youth & Obermeyer

• Columbia (e.g., Bugaboo-style youth systems): Columbia often uses reliable waterproof tech and good insulation at competitive prices. Columbia may offer lighter, interchangeable 3-in-1 systems, but Deux par Deux wins on reinforced Cordura® durability and the colder temperature rating.
• Obermeyer (kids’ snowsuits): Obermeyer focuses on performance fit and premium insulation; you’ll find similar mobility and weather protection. Obermeyer may cost more at premium specs — Deux par Deux is strong value when on sale and competes well on durability and kid-focused features.

Who is this snowsuit best for?

• Active kids who spend hours outside sledding, skiing, or at snow parks.
• Parents who want durable construction that holds up to rough play (Cordura® reinforcement is a plus).
• Families in colder climates who need real insulation (rated to -30°C/-22°F).
• Caregivers who prefer separate jacket and pants for easier dressing and layering.

Final verdict — Worth it?

If you need a dependable, warm, and durable two-piece snowsuit for an active child, the Deux par Deux Two-Piece Play Snowsuit is worth strong consideration — especially at the sale price. It pairs performance-minded features (waterproofing, reinforced panels, articulated joints) with practical details kids and parents use daily. The only drawbacks are bulk and the higher regular price; on sale it becomes a smart, long-lasting purchase.

Bottom line: Excellent warmth and durability for active kids. Buy on sale for best value; size up for heavy layering.
