Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this balaclava suitable for machine washing?
No, this product is made of wool and must be hand washed to prevent shrinking or felting of the fibers.
What age group is this balaclava designed for?
It is specifically sized for infants.
Does it provide enough warmth for sub-zero temperatures?
Wool is highly insulative, but for extreme temperatures, ensure the infant is also properly layered with a warm coat.
Will the bear ears stay upright?
Yes, the ears are designed to hold their shape, adding a cute detail to the classic balaclava silhouette.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
Do not tumble dry, as the heat will cause the wool to shrink and ruin the garment.
Troubleshooting
The fabric feels slightly itchy against delicate skin.
Consider layering a very thin, soft cotton bonnet underneath if the infant has high sensitivity to wool.
The balaclava has lost its shape after washing.
Avoid hanging the item while wet. Always reshape it gently while flat and let it air dry completely on a horizontal surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This balaclava is designed to be a pull-on style, making it quick and easy to fit over an infant's head. To ensure the longest product lifespan, follow these care instructions:
- Hand Wash Only: Use cool or lukewarm water with a mild wool-specific detergent.
- Avoid Wringing: Gently squeeze out excess water by rolling the balaclava in a clean towel.
- Flat Drying: Always dry the garment flat on a towel in a shaded area. Never hang wool to dry, as it will stretch and lose its shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fiber degradation.
