Sustainable children’s outdoor clothing and accessories manufacturer, Isbjörn of Sweden, is once again celebrating winning the Bäst-i-Test (Best in Test) award for its popular Penguin Snowsuit. The accolade, which sits in the Premium category, marks the seventh year running that the brand has won the award.

The popular field test conducted by the Scandinavian Online Test Institute Bäst-i-Test saw the trial of various winter jumpsuits over three months. The assessment took place at a forest school day-care centre during the long and hard winter season in Sweden.

The use of the products was rigorous, daily, and in all weather and outdoor activities. It also included repeat washing and tumble drying.

 

 

The Penguin Snowsuit scored 10 out of 10 points for longevity, outstanding functions, quality, and comfort; keeping children dry and thermally balanced in wet and cold winter conditions.

Staff, parents and children participating in the three-month-long testing process collectively commented: “This tough yet sustainable snowsuit continues to impress; standing up to all kinds of winter weather, keeping every single drop of rain and snow out.

“Yes, the Penguin Snowsuit is a more expensive long-term purchase. But overall, the excellent durability of the snowsuit will actually save money, as it will last many years and owners. Made from high quality yet sustainable materials, it can be handed down to siblings and friends.

“There is absolutely no compromise on wet weather or thermal performance; even though Penguin delivers excellent breathability as well as waterproofness, offering children optimal comfort during all outdoor adventures. It can last many seasons of fun in the snow and keep our little ones dry in wet weather.”

Also commenting on the win is Maria Frykman Forsberg, co-founder and CEO of Isbjörn of Sweden.

“Once again, our durable Penguin Snowsuit, renowned for its longevity for many years, has been awarded this prestigious Bäst-i-Test award for a record seventh time.

“It’s all about the durability, while always using the most sustainable bluesign® approved materials such as PrimaLoft Insulation Eco and Bionic Finish Eco, which makes our famous snowsuit stand out and continue to be independently recognised by the Bäst-i-Test team.”
