Spotty Otter In The Media

The Independent have praised Spotty Otter on mulitple occassions across many of our collections over 2023 - 2024, stating the following:

Patrol Insulated Waterproof Jacket - 'This is the perfect ski jacket if you’re looking for a design that can be worn off the slopes too...The velcro cuffs are adjustable with draughtproof soft inner snow cuffs meaning snow won’t work its way inside the jacket, no matter how many tumbles happen. The jacket also dips lower at the back so bottoms will stay warm and dry even if they sit on a wet bench or the snow.'

Forest Leader Insulated PU Wellies - 'Ticking pretty much every box, these Spotty Otter wellies had us thoroughly impressed. They were brilliant for our very splashy seven-year-old tester, as the drawstring pulls the top snug on their calves, keeping out any water.'

Forest Leader Insulated PU Jacket - 'We love the versatility of this jacket, which provides cosy protection from whatever the British weather decides to throw at it. The fleece lining got the thumbs up from our testers who found it soft without being itchy or sweaty.'

Spotty Otter x Baby Bogs - 'Not only are they light and flexible... the inside has a plush lining to keep tiny toes warm as well as dry. The most genius part, however, is a little Velcro strap on the back of the boot, so we could simply slide feet out of the back rather than wrestle to pull them off. They’re machine washable, too, so you can keep these boots looking like new for every outing.'

In 2023, we were awarded Best for active kids by Indy Best for our Adventure Waterproof Trousers;

'...After putting its adventure waterproof trousers through the mill, we can confirm they really stand up to the job. Windproof, breathable and waterproof this pair has been designed with all-day adventures in mind.'

Minerve living and lifetsyle magazine loved our Forest Leader Dungarees in May, 2024 giving thier glowing review;

'Putting FUN back into Functional Kids outdoor gear! Designed to keep kids dry and comfortable school and all thier outdoor adentures. With a focus on quality, durability and style, Spotty Otter's range is the ultimate solution for parents seeking reliable protection against the elements.'

The Forest Ranger PU Waterproof Jacket was tried and tested by Yeah Lifestyle in August 2024;

'Having a good waterproof jacket is crucial to keep kids dry when they head back to school. The Forest Ranger PU Waterproof Jacket from Spotty Otter is perfect to quickly wear over school uniform or on top of fleece jackets on days out...Its zip is perfect for little hands and the jacket also comes with snap-fastened storm flap on its patch pockets.  The reflective safety trims is great for extra visibility when you head out on walks or need to spot your child quickly in crowded spaces.'

Our Spotty Otter Forest Leader fleece lined wellies were selected in Countryfile Magazine’s Best Children’s Wellies for Winter 2021-2022, and chosen for their ‘Best Kids’ Gifts’, reviewed as:

“These sturdy, fleece-lined wellies stand the test of time when it comes to waterproofing, durability and comfort for kids. They come in a range of bright colours, complete with fleece lining, and a drawstring rain guard to keep puddle-splash and torrential downpours firmly locked out. Reflective strips are useful for walking along roads, and a thick base offer extra padding from cold and wet surfaces. My seven-year-old son found these wellies so warm and comfortable that he wore them as slippers around the house for the first week of ownership!”

Reviewed by Snow Magazine, our Spotty Otter Explorer Waterproof Down Parka scored a perfect 10/10 in all categories (Quality, Comfort, Value, Performance & Overall), with comments:

“It’s difficult to imagine a more comfortable, fully featured kids’ winter coat than this, with sumptuous warmth and comfort. What’s more, it comes in four boy and girl-friendly colours. Quite simply, it is impossible to fault.”
