Purpose Built For Extreme Cold

This hat seemed to be of the highest quality and very well-made as are all products from OR. The only drawback is this hat cannot be worn, casually or partly for heat regulation. It will make a great helmet liner for extreme cold conditions. Unlike a typical beanie that you can either wear on top of your head with your ears exposed or pulled all the way down. It is purpose built for the cold and cannot be flipped up over ears. I will be happy to have it when work takes me back to colder climates.

Warm Hat!

This hat is very warm for how thin it is. Fits snug and keeps the wind out. I kinda feel like Michael Phelps when I’m wearing it but it’s a great piece of kit.

Great Backcountry Beanie

It's not too warm, not too cold, and it wicks water off my head well when sweating on the way up.

It was pretty decent, kept my ears warm under my ECH without getting too hot or interfering with the proper fit of the helmet. Also kept my ear plugs in place

Do Not Buy This Beanie

This is by far the worst fitting beanie I have purchassed in my life. My head isn't that large, but even with the L/XL size hat on, my forehead beggins to hurt after seconds of wear. The hat does'nt cover your full ears. The black elastic around the bottom of the hat always feels too tight, even after several rounds of pretty applied stretching. The top portion of the hat feels like a ziplock bag on your head.
