NZ-MADE CHILDREN’S OVERPANTS
Whether it be playing at the park, daycare or kindy, in the sandpit, helping in the garden or for the budding fisherman Mud Mates children’s overpants are just what you need! They are a generous fit designed to slip on over your kid’s clothing saving you constant clothing changes and loads of washing! Not to mention, protecting their clothes from wear and tear.
They are perfect too for keeping crawling babies clothes clean and dry and helping to prevent knee holes in their outfits.
Mud Mates protective overtrousers are quick and easy to get on and off over your child’s gumboots or shoes and feature an elasticated waist and elasticated ankles to hold them in place.
Made using our waterproof, 100% polyester, PVC-free fabric, our overpants are lightweight yet durable, machine washable and quick drying.
We love this feedback from one of our happy customers: “Awesome kids waterproof pants – used on the farm, for general playing in the wet & took them snowboarding. Stayed dry every time. She LOVED the pink camo. Great product & great service!” (Jo, August 2019)

Make sure you check out our waterproof Fleece Lined Pants for warmth and extra protection against the elements.
When dressing your child, please consider the number of layers and type of fabric of the clothes they are wearing under their Mud Mates. Active children will naturally sweat to cool their bodies and the clothing they are wearing under their Mud Mates can become damp with sweat. By having your child wear clothing with natural fibers such as merino or cotton, you reduce the chance of this happening.
Please note, our garments are not seam-sealed and therefore not guaranteed 100% waterproof after prolonged water exposure.
Please follow our washing guidelines to ensure product longevity.

Purchased for our wee grandson and they are great! On with the gumboots and overtrousers and he’s set to ‘help’ in the garden. Easy to get on and off, which is a bonus. Great product.

These over pants are so versatile. We use them for dewy, cold mornings at the playground so I don’t have to carry a towel around. I prefer them for my 3yo daughter who is toilet trained rather than the overall style, as it means she can independently go. They’re lightweight but keep the rain & mud out!
BD –
I purchased the Children’s Overpants for our grandson. It’s a good fit and an excellent product as these have elastic around the ankles. Other products online don’t seem to have this invaluable feature.
Just allow extra time for delivery if ordering from Australia.
Heather (verified owner) –
Love these so much, we bought current size and size up and they will be well used!
Rosslyn –
Purchased for our wee grandson and they are perfect! Great to buy NZ made. Thank you for a great product.
Laura (verified owner) –
Great product. Chuck these over a pair of thermals and the kids are warm, dry and comfy for a day at the snow. Thank you so much!
Clairissa (verified owner) –
So clever! We use these whenever my son is playing in the mud or the sand box. We’ve started keeping them in the car so we can pop them on if we’re somewhere messy. We got the non-fleece lined and it’s super easy to clean.
Natasha –
I have only tried the fleece lined over pants but I will definitely be getting more! My little puddle jumper has stayed well and truely dry in this pair. I love that they are made here in NZ!
Amy (verified owner) –
These over pants are awesome! Great for wet days at the playground or when it’s raining on the bike. Allows us to get out and do things when wet and keep little mate warm and dry.
Jo McMillan (verified owner) –
We especially love these over-pants for our crawlers. They can join in outdoors while staying dry. Best thing ever!
Anna (verified owner) –
Perfect waterproof overpants, now our son can be like Dad wearing waterproof leggings on the farm on the wet days and feeding calves. Brought size 3 of our 3.5 year old and size is perfect.
Janine Raper – Krafty Kidz (verified owner) –
I bought 4 pairs to put on our under2’s when they go outside to play at daycare. They are fantastic. They are warm enough to remove the children’s pants to keep them dry when outside exploring. A definite must have for those little explorers.
Krystal (verified owner) –
Fabulous quality pants, really happy with them. Brought a pair for my daughter to wear when she watches her brother play football and she’s also loving them at outside play time at home.
Nina Harris –
These are amazing! The fabric is so durable! My daughter always stays dry; so good for the wet weather! My mum bought them for my 2yo’s birthday and I am so happy the quality, plus my daughter loves them, win!
Cathie (verified owner) –
These pants are the second time I have purchased (my twins grew out of their last pairs) … they lasted us 4 years!! The quality is outstanding. Best 100% waterproof pants on the market in my opinion and Mud Mates have such incredibly efficient customer service too!
Steph Smith (verified owner) –
These are perfect for playcenter. My son is 14 months old so still spends a lot of time on his knees and sitting down. He can go in the sandpit and crawl over the wet ground without needing to change his whole outfit. Just slip the pants on each time he ventures outside and they don’t even need washing!
Erika (verified owner) –
Loved buying these as Christmas presents for the nieces and nephews! So well received – well made and love supporting a NZ brand like this
Nichola Mansfield (verified owner) –
Awesome overpants, great for my boy who’s outside a lot. Generous fitting and length and we love the camo print. Highly Recommend.
Louise (verified owner) –
My girls wear their overpants all the time! They are great. We have found them to be perfect for slipping over their school uniform to keep their dresses clean and out of the back wheel on the ride to school 🙂
Kendyl Clarke (verified owner) –
Such a good investment to help keep the toddler clean and dry, and very easy to use.
Jane (verified owner) –
Amazing product, Alana!
My little one has been roaming around the muddy backyard, having a ball while her clothes stay clean and dry!
Will 100% be purchasing again when we need the next size
Nicola (verified owner) –
These are such great pants at such a great price. Easy to slip on over their clothes and easy to wipe clean. My 14 month old has already gotten a heap of use out of them in only a few weeks.
Kim Blackburn –
We bought 4 pairs of the Overpants before lockdown started.
They have eased my anxiousness of letting my 2 toddlers out in the wet and cold.
They go over clothes very easily and they dry very fast after washing!
So excited to get my kids out on the farm this winter. Thanks for such an excellent product, I appreciate it.
Excellent customer service I will be back again very soon to get more goodies.
Pamela (verified owner) –
My 3 year old granddaughters get so much use out of these.
Jo (verified owner) –
Awesome pants – used on the farm, for general playing in the wet & took them snowboarding. Stayed dry every time. She LOVED the pink camo. Great product & great service!
Sophia (verified owner) –
These pants are fantastic! A friend recommended I get a pair for my little guy to wear at daycare and I’m so glad I did. He can have fun outside without getting cold and his track pants remain dry – win win. The ordering process and delivery was super easy and quick. Thanks for a great product 🙂
Amanda Gardner (verified owner) –
We recently purchased a couple of pairs of overpants for our little man. He has one pair at daycare which they have said have been brilliant as the weather has gotten more cold and wet with winter. The second pair we have called our farm pants, which our little guy loves to put on to come out on the farm to feed the animals and jump in all the rain puddles. The overpants have been a great purchase. Thank you.
Angie (verified owner) –
My 5 year old granddaughter absolutely loves the pink camouflage overpantsI bought her. Great for splashing in those muddy puddles!
Kate (verified owner) –
I bought the 6-12 month size for my crawling baby. They are great and keep her trousers clean underneath which is what I needed. I reckon a bit of elastic that hooked under the foot in their shoes would make them even better as sometimes they ride up the leg as baby crawls along the ground.
Anna (verified owner) –
I recently purchased these pants for my 2 and 4 year olds. Love them! Great quality and true to size. The kids wore them to the snow with trackies underneath and the were perfect, the pants kept them nice and dry. I’m very impressed with the quality of the pants and great service!
Rebecca (verified owner) –
Teamed the overpants with shoe covers for my crawling 10 month old – they’re great for letting her crawl around outside especially at playgrounds, keeps her clothes and moccasins clean and dry. They stay on great and look fantastic. She has the pink pants and the royal blue shoe covers!
Wendy Dixon (verified owner) –
Really good pair of pants that we will get lots of use out of. This will save me so much time from scrubbing mud, grass and paint stains out of regular pants! Keeps my toddler dry when she slides down wet slides and sits in wet sand this winter.
Viviane –
So happy with these! I love how lightweight they are. My little one will get lots of use out of hers in all seasons!
Rebecca (verified owner) –
Great product! I got these (and some coveralls) for my 18 month old boy and he loves them as much as I do. Now he can get stuck into exploring without mum worrying that he’s getting wet and cold. (And saves on washing dirty clothes too!) I highly recommend.
Sharon (verified owner) –
Loving our new overpants! Great quality that performs. I put them over my sons trousers and he plays in the garden getting into everything while keeping them clean underneath. Easy to clean. Fabulous product from a great company who treats you as an individual with great service. Highly recommend.
Kristine (verified owner) –
We love our pants. It allows us to play outside everyday and not worry about getting dirty and yucky. The quality is also great. My little guy has crawled around the the patio and they are still looking as good as new. I also love that they got here so quickly after purchasing.
Nikki (verified owner) –
I love these pants for my wee man. They are exactly as pictured and the size fits perfectly. Easy to order and really fast delivery. Very happy!

I bought the overpants for my 1 year old granddaughter. The pants were such good quality and a good roomy fit. They have been used heaps.
Dione (verified owner) –
It has been wonderful to allow my little one to get out and explore the world more without worrying about her getting wet, cold or dirty. Excellent product and service! Will definitely purchase again.
Conny –
These trousers are fabulous. They are easy to put over normal clothing and easy to wipe clean. Very durable as well.
Victoria (verified owner) –
These Overpants are great for my daughter who shuffles along on her bum rather than crawling. She was always getting soaked on the grass but now can happily spend ages outside without getting wet or ruining her clothes.
Roberta –
Great product – lightweight, easy to put on and very durable. Thanks, we love these pants for all the washing it has saved us!

My great-nephew loves his Overpants, as does his mother. Great for preschool and on the farm. I liked the quality and the good service. Thank you.
Jada Van Vliet –
Juniper is loving her overpants. She has already been out a heap in our rainy autumn riding bikes and splashing in puddles. We will aim to get the insulated version soon. Great service, affordable price and quick delivery. We highly recommend.
Dianne –
Excellent service! Was very helpful and goods arrived on time. Thank you 🙂
Kendyl (verified owner) –
I have bought a couple of pairs of the over trousers to use during meal times and they have been fantastic. I was getting sick of all of the clothing changes after each meal every day, with my baby who was learning to feed himself, hence covering himself in food.. These have been great as they just wipe down after each meal and are ready to use again for the next meal.
Kelly (verified owner) –
Bought two pairs for our girls 3 and 5 and hit the snow with them….absolutely perfect. They stood up to sliding down the hill on their bottoms many times and no wet butts! Thanks
Kylie (verified owner) –
Great product! Perfect for my adventurous crawler 🙂 he stays dry and clean so Mum is happy too!
Learning Adventure Maraenui (verified owner) –
These overpants are perfect for our younger children who are not yet walking. They can access our outdoor environment without getting their own clothes covered in mud, water and sand!! They are so quick and easy to pop on and go straight in the washing machine after, ready for the next day
Kaylie Bowman (verified owner) –
My little man has just started crawling and these overpants are fantastic for him when he goes outside to stop his clothes getting dirty and worn! Love how they are waterproof too. He loves to go out on the lawn but sometimes it can be a bit damp – these are perfect so he can enjoy himself without me worrying about his clothes. Thank you!
Joelle (verified owner) –
Another product that is perfect for my bum shuffler baby (along with the shoe covers)! A total necessity whenever we visit the park for keeping his clothes both clean and dry. I can let him shuffle around on the grass and play equipment without worrying about him getting cold and wet. Also bought a pair for my toddler for our next trip to go sledding in the snow….
Ruth Moerenhout –
Fantastic product. Very well made and very nice. Wish I had had them for when my child’s were bum shuffling. Arrived quickly too, thanks heaps
Rebecca (verified owner) –
These are fab-well made and comfortable material that doesn’t restrict movement. My toddler went to the snow in a pair and stayed dry and warm. Quick and friendly service too 🙂
Francine (verified owner) –
The new fabric is wonderful. My son has crawled around outside on concrete, sand, grass and of course mud and these make it so easy to keep him clean and dry. A Lifesaver!
Angela (verified owner) –
Great product, my daughter loves wearing them when playing outside. Fast service and there was no problem when I asked to pick up. Thank you for a great product!

Alana, thanks for such prompt delivery! The overpants are excellent and were in use immediately. We’ll be ordering the next size before too long.
