Description of Patagonia Synchilla Alpine Hat - Kid's:
Pack the Patagonia Kids' Synchilla Alpine Hat for your family ski vacation. This 85%-recycled fleece hat warms your kid's head on the slopes, in the terrain park, and on cold walks to dinner. Patagonia made the crown of the Synchilla with a single layer of fleece for sunny winter days and early spring conditions. The classic envelope design and regular fit are a welcome relief from those crazy faux-dreadlock or Mohawk-spike hats.
Bottom Line: Is that Your kid with the glow-in-the-dark, five-foot-high spiked winter hat?
My son, now 2 1/2, outgrew a Synchilla hat that he'd worn for the past year and I was thrilled to find this "big kid" style. I got him one blue and one green- the green is much more vivid than color appears online. These hats keep him warm when it's wet, they breathe when it gets warm and he doesn't want to take it off, they wash up great and keep their shape and color no matter what. In our house it has to measure up to "active wear" that will withstand all we can dish out and these hats pass the test.
