Toasty Kidz Fleece Hats {Review & Giveaway}

Sharing is caring!

toasty-kidz-logoToasty Kidz was founded by Sara, a fellow Minnesota resident who knows all too well how important it is to keep her children warm and toasty while out in the elements. A Toronto native, Sara became interested in finding a better designed winter hat for the American market, much like those found in European designs.

The Toasty Kidz balaclava-style hat that fully covers children’s heads, ears and front and back of necks is a great solution to keeping kids warm in the most extreme conditions. Made of high quality polar fleece, Toasty Kidz hats are available in a variety of fun colors in sizes from newborn to 6/7.

Technical Highlights

  • Provide warmth without the weight and bulk of traditional insulating fabrics
  • Highly breathable to provide comfort in all activities; does not restrict the movement of moisture vapor
  • Dries quickly to minimize heat loss
  • Durable; will outlast other fleece fabrics
  • Machine washable
  • Versatile; appropriate for a broad range of activities

Living in Minnesota, I know all too well how important it is to good quality and very warm winter wear, especially for those who like to spend a lot of time outdoors. As a kid I can easily remember the countless hours spent playing the snow, sledding, and building snow forts.  Unfortunately my hats that never kept my neck really warm even while wearing a scarf and before long I’d experience the dreaded snow down my neck!
Toasty Kidz LuWe got the chance to try out this blue and gray camo fleece hat from Toasty Kidz. I love the incredible softness of this hat and it is obviously very warm. It is easy to get on and off and it doesn’t choke my son’s neck like a scarf, which is a frequent complaint.  I also appreciate that it is reversible, giving us more versatility! I know this is going to be fabulous for us when we take our boys sledding this winter and I’m amazed I haven’t seen a children’s hat in this style before.

Toasty Kidz has some fabulous new styles including the purple pony (my favorite) and the pink and brown coco-dot. They retail for $19.99 each for toddler/kids sizes and $16.99 for infant.

    I’d like to see an orange hat added. It would be great for when the little ones go hunting with their father — bright and noticeable so they don’t get mistaken for an animal and shot.

  27. Jennifer says

    My daughter loves blue so some sort of combo with blue and maybe white snowflakes would be nice to see

  61. Sylvia says

    I would love to win this because it looks so toasty warm and it is freezing here–currently snowing

    I would love to win the Ice Cam Blu/Gry for my son. Even though we live in Texas and don’t see much snow…it’s still pretty cold for my darling boy. We have season passes to Six Flags and those roller coaster are hard to keep a hat on during the winter!
    Thanks

    I like the hat on the little boy on the main home page but out of the available choices I like the camo best.

  181. Vicki L. says

    I’d love to win this giveaway because living in AK with a 2 yr old who hates to wear his hat on is difficult.

  222. Jennifer Short says

    I would love to win this because my “neice” lives in Russia and although she is always dressed (overdressed even) warmly to American’s standards, she has been sent home from preschool once this year for not being dressed warmly enough. Her mother has been reprimanded six times for not dressing her warmly enough. (If any bit of skin shows they think that’s a sign of bad parenting!) This might make things easier on them — at least for ONE layer!

  225. Rosey says

    I would like to see more boy colors added because it’s hard to find cute things for the little guys. Well, harder than it is to find them for the little gals.

  227. Heather B says

    my son is very much a camo lover so I would have to get the camp like yours for sure! and it would match his blue jacket!

  229. Heather Goldsmith says

    A color combination I’d like to see is pink hearts or snowflakes.
    The reason I’d love to win this is because this has been a bitter cold winter

  239. Lisa says

    I’d like to win this for my son to keep his ears warm & I like that it’s easy to get on/off!

  243. Susan Fisher says

    I’d love to see a green hat with dinosaurs for boys! I’d love to win this hat because my little guy always wants to play in the snow, and fall in the snow, and shovel with me, but I can’t find a jacket where the hood will stay on his head to keep him warm!!

  256. Kathy S says

    Love the Coco-Dot Pink/Brown Baclava style hat. Both of my granddaughters have beautiful brown eyes, and this would be pretty on either one of them!

  258. Peggy Gorman says

    a color combination I’d love to see is dark pink/light pink, dark purple /light purple for the girls and for the boys
    Cars on side or dark blue/ light blue
    I always like to see a child in a hat and I love the way these will stay on and look so warm!!

  284. Trina says

    Although we live in the pacific northwest where it is not particularly cold, we are snow enthusiasts and spend lots of time on the mountains. On eo fthe problems we have is keeping a hat on our son’s head, with the toasty kidz I wouldn’t have to worry about it falling off.
