Full details

The Sealskinz Peterstone Kid's Waterproof Sherpa Fleece Hat is designed for young adventurers, offering exceptional warmth and dryness in challenging weather conditions. Its primary benefit is the combination of waterproof technology with cozy fleece lining, ensuring children stay comfortable during outdoor play. A potential caveat is that while waterproof, it's designed for warmth and may be too insulating for very mild conditions.

FAQs

Is this hat suitable for very cold snow conditions?

Yes, the combination of waterproof sherpa fleece and microfleece lining provides excellent insulation and protection against snow and cold.

How do I know if I'm ordering the correct size?

The hat is sized using UK children's age ranges. Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer or select the age range that best matches the child's current age and head size.

Can this hat be worn by both boys and girls?

Yes, the hat features a unisex design and is suitable for children of all genders.

What makes the Aquasealz technology special?

Aquasealz technology is SealSkinz's proprietary system that ensures the material is completely waterproof while also being breathable, allowing moisture vapor to escape and keeping the wearer comfortable.

How should I clean the hat if it gets dirty?

The hat can be machine washed at 30°C with liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. It should be air-dried or tumble-dried on a low setting.

Are the ear warmers adjustable?

The ear warmers are designed to be folded down for extra coverage. They are not independently adjustable but tuck neatly into the main body of the hat when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Hat feels damp inside after prolonged wear.

This is likely due to perspiration. The breathable membrane helps, but in very strenuous activity or high humidity, some internal moisture can build up. Ensure the hat is properly aired out after use. If it persists, check if the hat is too small, restricting airflow.

Water seems to be penetrating the fabric.

Ensure the hat has been washed according to care instructions and has not been treated with fabric softeners or harsh detergents which can degrade the waterproof membrane. Check for any visible tears or damage to the fabric.

Ear warmers are too loose or don't stay up.

The ear warmers are designed to be folded up and tucked. If they are consistently slipping down, it may indicate wear and tear or a slight loss of elasticity over time. Ensure they are folded neatly into the main hat body.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The hat requires no setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: This hat is designed for children and comes in specific UK children's sizes. Ensure you select the correct size (e.g., 7-8 years) for the best fit.

Care Instructions: To maintain the hat's waterproof and insulating properties:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) using a small amount of liquid detergent. Do NOT use fabric softener or bleach.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the waterproof membrane.
  3. Maintenance: Periodically check for any damage. Avoid ironing.
