Quick answer
The Kids Power Hat stays on best when you choose the right size, put it on before the coat, and secure it under the helmet or hood straps.
Why the Kids Power Hat is a good choice for active children
Many winter hats slip off the moment a child runs, climbs, or rolls in the snow. The Kids Power Hat uses Polartec® Power Stretch™ Pro fabric, which has a smooth, durable outer face and a soft, warm inner side. That stretch helps the hat grip the head without being too tight, and the moisture-wicking property keeps small heads dry even during high-energy play.
Common mistake: putting the hat on after the coat
When you pull a coat hood over a hat, the hood often pushes the hat up and off the forehead. The hat then rides up and either falls off or leaves the ears exposed. Putting the hat on first and then the coat hood keeps everything in place.
5 steps to keep the Kids Power Hat on
- Choose the right size—not too big, not too small: Measure your child's head circumference just above the eyebrows and ears. The Kids Power Hat should fit snugly without leaving a red mark. A hat that is too big will slide down over the eyes; one that is too small will ride up and expose the ears. Check the size chart before buying. If between sizes, go with the smaller one for a secure fit.
- Put the hat on before the coat or jacket: Place the hat on your child's head first, then pull the coat hood over it. This prevents the hood from pushing the hat upward. Tuck the hat's bottom edge slightly under the hood for extra security. If the hat still shifts, check that the hood isn't too tight or too loose.
- Use helmet or hood straps to anchor the hat: If your child wears a ski helmet or a jacket with a detachable hood, fasten the chin strap or hood buckle over the hat. The strap holds the hat in place even when the child is running or climbing. Avoid over-tightening the strap—it should be snug but not uncomfortable.
- Tuck the hat under a helmet for winter sports: For skiing or snowboarding, put the hat on first, then the helmet. The hat's low-profile stretch fabric fits easily under most helmets without creating pressure points. Adjust the helmet strap over the hat as described in step 3. Never put a hat over a helmet—it compromises safety and fit.
- Check and adjust during play: Every 15–20 minutes during active play, glance at your child's hat. If it has shifted, have them stop and reset it. A quick adjustment prevents the hat from falling off completely and keeps the ears covered. If the hat keeps sliding, the size or the layering order may need a small change.
