The beanie is made of wool (Merino) and features playful ear flaps. The excellent properties of Merino wool speak for themselves. It provides optimal thermoregulation, keeping you warm in the cold and cool in the heat, offers very high wearing comfort, even for sensitive skin, does not itch, is durable, and much more. Everything that is important for our little ones from birth! The shape resembles a balaclava but has the advantage of being able to be opened at the front with a Velcro closure, so it doesn't have to be pulled over the head. This is particularly helpful for the youngest ones. The baby hat is secured at the chin with Velcro, ensuring that the baby's head, ears, neck, and throat are completely warm on cold days.
