Ruskovilla's organic merino wool children's balaclavas are a bestseller for the last decades! They fit nicely underneath a helmet or hood; they're soft and stretchy, and a goto year after year in different sizes as children grow.
Made of smooth interlock knit, the balaclava will not itch or sweat. This practical headwear protects cheeks, chin and neck. Balaclava is suitable for use on its own or to provide additional warmth under a hat, cap or helmet. Available in three different sizes for kids, adult sizes are available too.
Made of 100% certified organic merino wool. Pure wool regulates the body temperature, breathes well and keeps you warm even when damp. It neutralises odours and does not need to be washed often.
Wash & Care Instructions:
- No washing is required before first use
- Wool softens in the first wash, which increases comfort of use especially on a sensitive skin
- Wool neutralises odours, and often just airing is enough to clean
- After regular use, the garment should be washed, as washing helps the wool fibres to recover and retain their elasticity
- Our wool products are not treated with a moth repellent, so remember to protect the wool product from moths and beetles. When not in constant use, store wool products in a sealed plastic bag, e.g. in the product's original package
- Wash by hand or by using the 30 Celsius degree hand or wool wash program using a biodegradable wool washing detergent
- We recommend the Sonett wool and silk washing liquid for washing and Sonett gall soap for stain removal
- Reshape the garment immediately after washing
- Wool shrinks slightly in the first wash, which has been taken into account in the sizing of the products
