Balaclavas

Balaclava hats for children

At House of Kids, you will find a wide selection of balaclava hats for both boys and girls. They come in a variety of colours, so you are sure to find one that matches your child’s winter coat or snowsuit – or simply their favourite colour. Brands such as Racing Kids design beautiful hats in simple, solid-colour styles, and there is a wide selection to choose from. You will also find lovely designs with pompoms, bows and stripes if you and your child are looking for something a little more playful. Headwear is essential, especially during the coldest months when snow is falling or temperatures drop below freezing. This practical type of hat is a great alternative to a traditional hat that only covers your child’s ears, as it protects not only their ears from the cold wind but also their neck and even part of their chest. We therefore recommend using a balaclava hat for as many years as your child will allow, which is why you can find them here in sizes ranging from newborn to around 10 years. They are available in cotton, wool and blended materials, as well as in single- and multi-layered designs. Naturally, the thickest and warmest styles tend to have several layers, helping them retain heat when the cold and frost really set in.

Warm ears and practical functionality

If you have an older child who cycles to school, it is a good idea to choose one of the smart balaclava hats in a simple design. This allows your child to wear their bicycle helmet over the hat, so they can avoid cold ears and a chilly neck on their morning ride to school. If you are lucky enough to be going on a skiing holiday, the simple styles are also ideal for wearing underneath a ski helmet. If you love the cute hats with pompoms, it may be a good idea to keep more than one winter hat at home. They can easily get wet during a snowball fight or when they are used as a snowman’s hat, and once wet they are no longer as effective at keeping your child warm in cold weather. Are you also looking for a pair of gloves to keep little fingers warm while making snowballs? You can find them here.
