OakiWear Giveaway (Closed)

Okay, so I'm REALLY excited about this giveaway! I think it's SO COOL that you will have a WEEK to enter!


 OakiWear sent me a rain suit to try out and one lucky reader will win one as well! How cool is that! Not only does OakiWear have rain suits, but they have kid waders, rain boots and more! Perfect for the Alaskan kid!

 So I wanted to show you all the cool pictures of Brooke trying out her suit in the rain.....Well, it hasn't rained in a while so we haven't tried it out in the rain! Which is okay with me! BUT I wanted to get this in someones hands before the rain comes AGAIN! So here is what I found so far. I will do another write up when I actually get to try it in the rain.


 First off, the rain suit came in 2 days! I was sooooo impressed! I never get anything in 2 days up here unless I pay an arm and a leg! Their shipping is $5 flat rate and will take 2-6 days! These suits are usually $49.99 but on sale for $28.99! So if you don't win, you might want to order one quickly!

 Let's just talk about the cool features of this one piece suit. LOVE the cool colors you can pick; red, yellow, and blue. There is neoprene around the leg and arm cuffs to keep water out. Brooke has tiny wrists and ankles so I loved that I could actually get a snug fit on her. Yet they are large enough that you can get the cuffs over boots and gloves. There is reflective tape around the arm and chest, which I think is so cool. ( I really need to learn better descriptive words then cool.)
 One of my favorite features is the bungee around the midsection that you can tighten. Like I said, Brooke is so tiny so I love when clothing has this type of feature. You can see it tightened in the photo above and she doesnt look like a ballon. Brooke also has jeans, a shirt and a fleece under the rain suit.  She still has plenty of room and it's not so bulky. I LOVE this suit!

 This is a quality piece of gear that every Alaskan kid should have in their closet! But does it keep out rain?! So just because I didn't get to see it in action in rain, I still tried it out. I ran water from the kitchen sink over the outfit. COMPLETELY WATERPROOF! The water beaded up and it did not soak through at all! I'm SOOO looking forward to using this during break up!! Ha, already thinking of next summer!

 Here is the description of the suit from the site:



  • Tough rip-stop nylon construction





  • Fully taped seams





  • Hood attached





  • Reflective tape on arms and chest





  • Neoprene collar and wrists for comfort





  • 100% waterPROOF, breathable





  • PVC, PU FREE!
      This is the best built rain and boating suit available! It is designed to perform like a kayaking shell, and works great on the boat, in the rain, or anywhere. Dirt and mud wash off easily. Sizes run a little big. A 3T, for example,is meant to fit all the way through their 3rd year. OakiWear brand gear for kids is specially manufactured to be top quality, and comes with a 1 year warranty to guarantee performance and durability. Of course, it's going to last A LOT longer than that!







  •  So you wanna win one!! All you need to do is leave a comment with a way to contact you AND you have to live in Alaska!  The sizes run from 2T -7. I will pick a winner next Friday, good luck!! Oh and be sure to become one of their fans on Facebook!

    8. These are so neat! I have seen them before but couldn't justify $50 for something that would last one season. Nice to see the sizes run big, and even if I don't win I may buy one anyway!

    37. Maybe my luck has not run out yet and I can win this amazing suite that Isabel would most enjoy. She has been REALLY REALLY wet lately. We went camping in Hope and hiked the Winter Gorge trail in Girdwood during that weekend of lots of rain and there was nothing about Isa that was dry!
