FAQs

Is this beanie suitable for very cold snowy conditions?

Yes, the Apton Beanie is engineered for cold, wet, and windy conditions and features a waterproof layer and warm fleece lining, making it ideal for snow play.

How do I know if the size 3-4 years will fit my child?

This size is generally suitable for children aged 3 to 4 years. For the best fit, it's recommended to measure your child's head circumference and compare it with the product's specific measurements if available, or consider their usual hat size.

Can this beanie be machine washed?

Sealskinz recommends hand washing this beanie in cool water with a mild liquid detergent to maintain its waterproof properties and the integrity of the materials. Avoid machine washing and harsh treatments.

What does 'Aquasealz technology' mean?

Aquasealz technology refers to the three-layer construction used in Sealskinz products that provides a waterproof yet breathable barrier, keeping the wearer dry from the outside elements while allowing internal moisture to escape.

Is the blue color suitable for boys and girls?

Yes, the blue color is a unisex shade, making the beanie suitable for children of any gender.

Will my child's head get sweaty inside this beanie?

The beanie is designed with a waterproof but breathable Aquasealz technology and a soft microfleece lining. While it provides significant warmth, the breathable aspect helps to manage moisture from a child's activity to some extent.

What is the main difference between this and a regular knitted hat?

The primary difference is the integrated waterproof Aquasealz technology and the warm microfleece lining, which provides superior protection against rain, snow, and wind compared to a standard knitted hat.

Troubleshooting

Beanie feels slightly tight or loose.

Ensure you have selected the correct size for your child. If it's slightly loose, it may still offer adequate protection, but for a snug fit, consider the next size down for future purchases. If too tight, the next size up may be more comfortable.

Water seems to be leaking through.

Check for any visible damage to the fabric or seams. Ensure the beanie is correctly positioned on the head. If damage is present, it may need to be replaced. Ensure care instructions are followed to maintain waterproof integrity.

Fleece lining feels less soft after washing.

Avoid using fabric softener or harsh detergents, and do not tumble dry or iron, as these can degrade the softness of the fleece. Reshape and dry flat away from heat.
