A waterproof winter hood with taped seams, a recycled-nylon shell and long-haired fleece lining that protects the head, ears and chin through snow, rain and cold-weather play. The hook-and-loop chin strap secures the hood without ties, while fold-down ear flaps and breathable construction suit school journeys, outdoor adventures and the active movement of a full winter day.

MATCRISTER covers the head, ears and chin through cold-weather play, school journeys and outdoor time, with a waterproof recycled-nylon shell, taped seams and a long-haired fleece lining that sits softly against the skin. The ear flaps fold down to protect the sides of the head, while a hook-and-loop strap under the chin keeps the hood secure without needing to manage ties or adjustable cords around a small child.

The 12,000 mm (WP) rating alone describes the fabric. It is the fully taped seams that push the hood from water-repellent into genuinely waterproof, since even a highly rated fabric lets water through untaped stitching in sustained rain or snow. Wind protection comes from the same recycled-nylon outer, while 8,000 g/m²/24h breathability helps manage heat during active play, reducing the damp feeling that can follow strenuous movement in less breathable headwear.

The dense fleece lining traps air close to the head and ears, holding warmth during stationary time and through outdoor journeys. A 50,000+ Martindale abrasion result supports repeated outdoor wear through a full season, while fluorine-free Bionic Finish Eco treatment beads light rain off the surface before it reaches the shell. A reflective detail keeps the child visible to drivers from up to 300 m in low light.
