PuddleDucks Gear: Best in Test

August 25, 2011 at 3:29 pm · Filed under Our clothes, Waterproof Clothing ·Tagged , ,

We’ve always known that the the quality of our rain gear from our Swedish suppliers, Abeko is of fantastic quality. Lots of lots of our customers have told us so.

But now it has been proven that the Abeko gear is the best in an independent test undertaken in Sweden. It came out top in a test among 10 different Swedish manufacturers.

It’s nice to know that we sell the best.

We are always very appreciative of the customer reviews we receive on our website telling us what you think of our products and service.  If you’d like to give us feedback,  please enter them directly on our home page or send them to us at reviews@puddleducks.ie.

Here are some reviews we received during June 2011.

Great customer service, great quality products.

Emily D., Dublin

The extra tough rainwear continues to be fantastic solution for the kid that does everything. Comfortable, light, zipped and 2 yrs on nearly as good as the day it arrived. So we bought another set and they are better still! Only downside is that there are not dungarees for the older versions.. As for service, despatched same day as described and with a personal touch, love it.

Sorcha, Cork

My son loved his new raincoat and they were very excited that it was raining the morning the package arrived so they could wear them to school. Hopefully they won’t get too much use this summer though!

Lorna, Co. Carlow

My daughter loves this raincoat, bright and colourful, comfortable to wear, pink!, it ticks all the boxes – thank you :)

Lorna,  Co. Carlow

I have bought fleeces and waterproof gear for our kids from PuddleDucks for the past 2 years now and we are delighted with them. The fleeces are very good quality and they are fun clothes too … our son really loves the one with the tractor noise. The service from the PuddleDucks team is extremely efficient and we always received our order (in Ireland) the very next day. I have recommended PuddleDucks to other members of our family as well and I will always buy their products with great pleasure knowing we get great quality and service from an Irish based website.

Adriana, Co. Meath

Best money that I’ve spent. Have wasted money on cheaper products in the past that didn’t last or didn’t work. The puddleducks are the beesknees, the kids are happy out and so am I.

Survey Results – Staycations are still the preferred holiday choice for Irish families

May 31, 2011 at 7:15 pm · Filed under Surveys ·Tagged , , ,

Thanks to everyone for taking part in our online survey on Irish Family holiday plans for summer 2011. Here is the text of a Press Release we have sent out on the results of the survey:

Staycations – still the preferred holiday choice for Irish families

The pattern of Irish families taking their summer holidays at home in Ireland will continue again this year.  A recent survey carried out by online retailer PuddleDucks.ie has found that 79 per cent of Irish families are planning to staycation in Ireland this year.

This contrasts with the 34 per cent of Irish adults who indicated that they are likely to take a family holiday abroad this year, instead of, or as well as, an Irish holiday. The number of families heading abroad has shown a sharp decline from the 56 per cent of Irish families who holidayed abroad in 2009.

For those planning an Irish summer holiday the two main reasons for doing so were the lower overall cost and the greater convenience of travel.

The online poll was carried out from May 20th to 25th and had over 200 respondents.

With this in mind, children’s outdoor clothing specialist PuddleDucks.ie has just released a “Staycation Summer Offer” which combines children’s rain gear with a quality wetsuit for the beach (at a discount of 15% off the normal price).

Suzanne Kingston, owner of PuddleDucks said “Our survey shows that, despite our unpredictable weather, Ireland will be the most popular destination for family holidays again this year. Kids love to be out and about during their summer holidays and if they’re kitted out for rainy days as well as the beach they can make the most of the outdoors – whatever the Irish weather may bring“
