These coats come in either Batman or Superman, so kids have the option to be their favorite superhero. The jacket is made of natural rubber and waterproof polyurethane and has a 100% cotton lining. What makes these raincoats really glorious is that they have a detachable cape, which makes for easy washing. For an extra touch of wonder, the superhero logos glow in the dark so any four year old can fight crime safely during the night. With these jackets now available, kids will be begging for rainy days. As ThinkGeek says, "Evil doesn't wait for sunny days." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Superhero-inspired Apparel for Kids:** Opportunity for creating more lines of clothing for children with superhero designs. - **Functional Apparel for Children:** Opportunity to create more functional clothes like raincoats with detachable parts. - **Glow-in-the-dark Clothing:** Opportunity for creating more apparel with glow-in-the-dark properties. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Apparel and Clothing:** Industry that can benefit from creating more superhero-themed clothes and functional apparel for kids. - **Toy and Games:** Industry that can benefit from collaborating more with apparel industries to create more innovative and unique products to complement each other. - **Design and Innovation:** Industry that can benefit from the trend of creating more aesthetic utility products for different industries to explore. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Protective Cut-Proof Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/armortex-jacket.md) - [Film-Inspired Graphic Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dark-knight-collection.md) - [Superhero-Inspired Streetwear Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superman-collection.md) - [Phosphorescent Color-Changing Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollbak-firefly-jacket.md) - [Essential Weather-Resistant Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pieces-for-rainy-days.md) - [Practical Children's Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miles-the-label.md) - [Children's Wearable Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-blanky.md) - [Tactical Inclement Weather Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/storm-jacket.md) - [Protective Silver-Infused Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shielding-jacket.md)
