Patagonia Puff Ball Bunting Uses Recycled Materials to Keep Kids Warm

patagonia-reversible-puff-ball-bunting

The pumpkins and turkeys have been carved (and leftovers devoured) and now there’s nothing standing between you and Christmas but a long stretch of cold weather—which will just get colder as January rolls around. You’ve probably already invested in a winter coat to wear this year or fished your old one out of storage, but if you’re still undecided on how best to keep the baby in your life warm, the Patagonia Puff Ball Bunting could be just the item you’re looking for.

Designed with a relaxed fit so it’s roomy for baby, the Puff Ball Bunting features a extra long, angled zipper for easy diaper changes, snag-resistant fabric, convertible overmitts, and a water repellent exterior. Polyester insulation keeps little ones warm (even when water gets on the outside of the outfit) and split-leg construction means you won’t have to hassle a sack-style design into the car seat.

The quality and features of the Puff Ball Bunting are everything you’d expect from Patagonia, but we’re even more gung-ho about this snow getup because its one of the greenest kid’s outfit options we’ve seen (especially in the cold weather wear category). The shell of the one-piece is made from 100% recycled polyester and the polyester insulation is Patagonia’s own Thermogreen variety, which means it’s 90% recycled. Better still, after the Patagonia Puff Ball Bunting has passed its prime (usually after being used for a few different tots), you can recycle it as part of Patagonia’s Common Threads Recycling Program.

We’ll admit that at $98.95 it isn’t the cheapest snow outfit available, but remember that this one will live up to all its promises of warmth and help preserve the planet for when your youngster is older. Plus, we’re confident you’ll like the Puff Ball Bunting enough that you won’t need to spend money purchasing any other options (of course, you could also mention it to the grandparents as a gift idea).
