There are days that just can’t make up their minds: too cool for a bare top, too warm for a thick jacket. And there are children who have long since made up their minds: for adventure, come what may. For precisely these indecisive days and determined children, this vest is the centerpiece of the layering principle. It gives the arms unrestricted freedom of movement, while at the same time keeping warm what should stay warm above all else: the core. A textile shield for intrepid explorers.

Its densely fulled fabric, made of warming virgin wool and skin-friendly cotton, acts like a natural climate control system—breathable when moving, warming when still. The cotton content ensures a particularly soft feel and flexibility that moves with every step. The water-repellent properties of the boiled wool and its ability to keep you warm even in damp conditions prove especially beneficial when playing in damp leaves or during a sudden rain shower.

Last but not least, there are the patch pockets, ready to warm cold fingers or hold the treasures found along the way. And—to ensure the protective shield doesn’t end up becoming a pinch itself and catching delicate children’s skin—the pleasantly soft chin guard on the zipper. A bodyguard, then, who takes his job very seriously.

Bensheim—a town otherwise best known for its historic architecture, fine wine, and sheltered location on the slopes of the Odenwald—is home to the Pure Pure label. And perhaps it is precisely this proximity to and daily contact with nature that have significantly inspired Pure Pure’s philosophy. In any case, the name says it all: the products are designed to convey pure joy when worn, and the materials from which they’re made are minimalist. The focus is on high-quality natural fibers such as cotton and wool—sourced wherever possible from certified organic farming or certified organic animal husbandry—as well as European linen, baby alpaca, and renewable cellulose fibers like Lyocell (TENCEL™). The designs for children, too (and especially so), offer a level of comfort characterized by natural carefreeness. The company also keeps corporate responsibility beyond its own production in mind: Pure Pure is a member of the cross-industry Bundesverband Nachhaltige Wirtschaft e.V. (Federal Association for Sustainable Economy), a business association that advocates for climate protection, resource efficiency, and diversity in the economy.
