The cuffs are ribbed knit. This keeps out cold air and keeps you warm! I wore this every day at daycare. There is a general feeling of use. How about it for playing in the park or as a spare for daycare? This is the lowest price, so please refrain from complaints. We will compress it for shipping. *This is a used item worn by a child, and there may be oversights, so please understand. *I am selling other children's items, so I will offer a discount for combined purchases. Please comment.
