FAQs
Is this hat suitable for very cold temperatures?
Yes, with a thermal rating of 4 and a three-layer construction with a micro-fleece liner, it is designed for extra cold and wet conditions.
Can I machine wash the bobble hat?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a cool, gentle cycle (around 30°C) with a mild detergent. Do not tumble dry.
Is the hat truly waterproof?
Yes, it features three-layer Aquasealz technology, which provides a waterproof barrier.
What material is the hat made from?
The outer fabric is made from durable acrylic, and it features an interior micro-fleece liner.
Is this hat suitable for children?
This hat is designed for adults. Please check the product specifications for children's sizing if available.
Will the hat keep my head warm if it gets wet?
Yes, the insulative properties and the micro-fleece liner are designed to keep your head warm even if the hat becomes wet externally, though it aims to prevent internal dampness through moisture-wicking.
What does the 'bobble' on top do?
The bobble is a decorative feature, a classic design element of a bobble hat.
Troubleshooting
Hat feels too tight or too loose.
The acrylic fabric offers some stretch. For a better fit, ensure you are wearing it correctly. If significantly ill-fitting, consider alternative sizes or styles if available.
Reduced waterproofing after extended use.
Ensure the hat is cleaned according to care instructions. Harsh detergents or improper drying can affect performance. Re-waterproofing treatments for outdoor gear may be considered if performance significantly degrades over time, though this is uncommon with proper care.
Inner fleece feels damp.
This can occur during intense physical activity where significant perspiration is produced. The fleece is designed to wick moisture, but extreme exertion may exceed its capacity. Ensure the hat is properly air-dried after use.
