Snow is on it’s way for most us, and for some of us, it’s already fallen, so why not take advantage of that? If you enjoy skiing, snowboarding or other fun winter activities, then these winter hats below might be a good choice for you. Here are some great caps for the whole family.
Toddler Boys and Girls
It can be hard to know what your toddlers need and want, so it’s better not to take chances. That’s why we need to make sure that they’re in something warm and comfortable. The girls’ hat to the left is the Obermeyer Pixie Fleece Hat. It warm, but not heavy and is made of material that allows it to dry quickly. Plus, the earflaps will keep your toddler’s ears toasty. You can order the hat at REI for a price of $19.50.
The boys’ hat on the right is the Everest Designs Kyber Earflap Hat. It’s made of wool knit and is designed to insulate well, even if the hat is wet. The earflaps help to keep your toddler’s entire head comfortable and safe from the cold. This hat is also available at REI for a price of $22.
Older Kids
If your kids are skiing or snowboarding, it’s important that they have hats that can fit under helmets while keeping them warm. This Boy’s Reversible Bug Hat is practical because it’s not bulky, but it’s warm and works well with most snowsuits due to it’s availability in multiple colors. Check it out at Spyder.com.
Girls are usually pretty predictable. Often, they want something cute and pretty. The Columbia Hampton Trail Reversible Beanie fits sleekly under a helmet and can be found in pink and blue. The colors for this hat are smart because they accommodate for different shades of pink or blue, so it’s not too difficult to match up. It’s available at Back Country for a great price of $14.95.
