Quick answer
For everyday warmth and easy care, choose the Chester Baby Wool Mix Jumper. For lightweight, luxurious softness on milder days, choose the Poa Baby Cashmere Jumper.
Warmth and insulation
The Chester Baby Wool Mix Jumper uses a blend of wool and terryl, a sustainable yarn. Wool is naturally insulating and retains heat even when damp, making it ideal for active outdoor play. The Poa Baby Cashmere Jumper is made from feather-soft mid-gauge cashmere, which provides excellent warmth without bulk, but it is best suited for layering on cool, dry days rather than as a primary winter coat.
Softness and comfort
Cashmere is renowned for its luxurious softness, and the Poa Baby Jumper delivers that against delicate baby skin. The Chester Baby Jumper, while soft, has a more textured feel due to the wool blend. For babies with sensitive skin or those who prefer a gentler touch, cashmere is the clear winner.
Durability and care
The wool mix in the Chester Jumper is more durable and resistant to pilling than pure cashmere. It can handle frequent wear and washing better. Cashmere requires more careful handling—gentle hand washing and flat drying—to maintain its shape and softness. If your child is rough on clothes or you prefer low-maintenance care, the wool mix is a practical choice.
