Can't remember where it came from but I'll check. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4211#post-48836 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 11:13:14 +0000 SRD 48836@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'd try the two year old one above from ebay. sizing is usually pretty forgiving at that age. </p> <p>we got one of <a href="http://www.landsend.com/pp/Balaclava~213869_-1.html?bcc=y&amp;action=order_more&amp;sku_0=::BLA&amp;CM_MERCH=IDX_Boys-_-Outerwear-_-HatsGlovesScarves&amp;origin=index">these </a>from landsend, and it fits ours fine (will be too small by next year) but its not as good as the one we'd got for his sister, which was much thinner fleece, and less constricting. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4211#post-48835 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 11:07:28 +0000 steveo 48835@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Don't suppose any one has seen either a microfibre hat/balacava or merino hat that'll fit under a lid for a one year old? The coxwane's heid is feeling the cold. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4211#post-44013 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 10:52:02 +0000 Stepdoh 44013@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ah hah, was just thinking about looking for this exact thing for when the mercury drops, as little 'un's lungs don't like very cold conditions. </p> <p>Had first wet commute with the little, she seemed okay, was wearing pink marshmallow suit + had the rain cape over top (she seemed to like it SRD!) and arrived dry if a little pink cheeked :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4211#post-43806 Sun, 23 Oct 2011 16:23:22 +0000 gembo 43806@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Used to have a hand knitted balaclava about 40 years ago. I fancy one with a skip that allows you to fold the chin bit up onto the head bit and wear it as a natty hat when not too windy. Hope they are coming back into fashion now the 'RA have given it up. Still better than those pillow cases ETA were wearing last week. made them look like David Merrick meets the Pillbury Dough Man. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4211#post-43804 Sun, 23 Oct 2011 16:13:34 +0000 SRD 43804@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My four year old loves her balaclava and has been wearing it happily for at least 3 years now. It looks dreadful, but she prefers it to other hats and will ask to wear it. Got one for the new baby who hates it and screams when it goes on - his is thicker fleece and possibly feels more confining? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4211#post-43803 Sun, 23 Oct 2011 14:02:28 +0000 crowriver 43803@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Good spot! My son hates wearing warm hats and scarves, but he might wear this as it's more like a hood. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4211#post-43800 Sun, 23 Oct 2011 12:12:43 +0000 SRD 43800@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Saw these advertised on ebay.
