Trapper Hats for Older Girls
Trapper hats are made for proper cold. The crown sits close to the head and the ear flaps come down over the ears and cheeks. These MINOTI trapper hats are for girls aged 8 to 15. Wear one in the coldest weeks of the year, from frosty mornings at the bus stop to weekend walks and ski trips. It goes well with a padded coat or a parka, and the flaps keep the wind off where a beanie cannot.
Some shops call this style an aviator hat or an ear-flap hat. Hats are not sized like her clothes, so check the size on the product page and measure round her head just above the ears. If she is between sizes, go up one so the flaps reach fully over her ears. Fabrics vary from hat to hat, so check the care label before the first wash.

What size trapper hat should I buy for a 12-year-old?
Check the size on the product page, then measure round her head about 1 cm above the ears and compare. For a 12-year-old between two sizes, choose the larger one so the ear flaps cover her ears properly.
How cold does it need to be to wear a trapper hat?
A trapper hat is at its best at around 5°C or below, or when there is a biting wind. Above 10°C a beanie is usually enough. Keep the trapper for frosty mornings, snow days and winter holidays.
