BALACLAVAS

Why a balaclava is the perfect choice

Balaclavas offer all-round, warm protection for the head, forehead, ears, and neck – all in one garment. This makes them especially practical for the cold season. Unlike traditional hats, they stay put, keep you reliably warm, and are particularly easy to put on, even for smaller children.

At Petit Cochon, you'll find balaclavas made from high-quality natural materials such as boiled wool, organic cotton, or wool-silk blends. These fabrics are temperature-regulating, breathable, and pleasantly soft on the skin—ideal for sensitive children's heads.

Our balaclavas are lovingly sewn in Berlin – sustainably, fairly, and in well-thought-out cuts that grow with your child. This means that one balaclava will often accompany your child through several sizes. They pair perfectly with our jackets and overalls – and are a reliable companion for the playground, daycare, and family adventures.
