Toasty Kidz Fleece Hats {Review & Giveaway}

Posted December 21, 2009 by Emilie with and 1,348 views | -

Toasty Kidz was founded by Sara, a fellow Minnesota resident who knows all too well how important it is to keep her children warm and toasty while out in the elements. A Toronto native, Sara became interested in finding a better designed winter hat for the American market, much like those found in European designs.

The Toasty Kidz balaclava-style hat that fully covers children’s heads, ears and front and back of necks is a great solution to keeping kids warm in the most extreme conditions. Made of high quality polar fleece, Toasty Kidz hats are available in a variety of fun colors in sizes from newborn to 6/7.

Technical Highlights

Provide warmth without the weight and bulk of traditional insulating fabrics

Highly breathable to provide comfort in all activities; does not restrict the movement of moisture vapor

Dries quickly to minimize heat loss

Durable; will outlast other fleece fabrics

Machine washable

Versatile; appropriate for a broad range of activities

Living in Minnesota, I know all too well how important it is to good quality and very warm winter wear, especially for those who like to spend a lot of time outdoors. As a kid I can easily remember the countless hours spent playing the snow, sledding, and building snow forts. Unfortunately my hats that never kept my neck really warm even while wearing a scarf and before long I’d experience the dreaded snow down my neck!
We got the chance to try out this blue and gray camo fleece hat from Toasty Kidz. I love the incredible softness of this hat and it is obviously very warm. It is easy to get on and off and it doesn’t choke my son’s neck like a scarf, which is a frequent complaint. I also appreciate that it is reversible, giving us more versatility! I know this is going to be fabulous for us when we take our boys sledding this winter and I’m amazed I haven’t seen a children’s hat in this style before.

Toasty Kidz has some fabulous new styles including the purple pony (my favorite) and the pink and brown coco-dot. They retail for $19.99 each for toddler/kids sizes and $16.99 for infant.
