Boys' Raincoats and Waterproof Jackets
A boys' waterproof jacket is the coat he will wear from spring to autumn, when it rains but is too mild for padding. MINOTI raincoats for boys run from newborn sizes to age 15 and pull on over a jumper, hoodie or school sweatshirt. Each product page lists the fabric and whether there is a hood, so check there if that matters for the walk to school.
Pick the size by his current height. If he sits between two sizes, go up one so a jumper fits underneath. A boys' lightweight raincoat is the one to keep by the door for showery days, and a boys' raincoat goes over a fleece or gilet when it turns cold. Raincoat, rain jacket and cagoule all mean the same kind of coat here: a waterproof outer layer without padding. For padded winter coats, see Jackets & Coats.

What size raincoat should I buy for a 7-year-old boy?
A 7-year-old usually takes 128 cm. Measure his height in socks and choose the nearest size, going up one to 134 cm if he wears a thick jumper under his coat.
Will a boys' lightweight rain jacket keep him warm in winter?
On its own, no. It suits rainy days of around 10°C to 18°C. In colder weather, put a fleece or thin jumper underneath, or choose a padded coat from Jackets & Coats for days below 5°C.
