As someone whose kids go to a day care where they are outside for two hours a day in all weather outdoorwear is something I absolutely do not scrimp on. I spend a fortune on snow suits and raingear and boots because they need to keep my kid dry and warm. I choose brands that have gotten really good reviews for their ability to wick moisture and breathe. Often this is expensive. I don't care who makes it, but it needs to get the job done.
We tend to go with Scandinavian brands because they are made for that purpose. I cry at the Polarn n Pyret prices, but that stuff really really lasts and I can reuse it for my youngest. Our last set of rain gear from them lasted 18 months and still looks great.
As for thrift stores, I find that with a good sale, if you can find new stuff for 5 bucks or used for 2-5 bucks, I tend to go for the new - but I like a good bargain hunt.
Designer just to look good, I wouldn't care. And yes, I let my 3 year old have a say in his clothing, but if he seemed to have expensive tastes, well then, we would just stop going to those stores. Its not like a 3 year old knows what the GAP is if you don't take him there.
