This Merino wool beanie is everything I was looking for in a winter hat. The quality is top-notch, with a strong, tight knit that feels incredibly durable and soft. Made from 100% Merino wool, it’s super comfortable and breathable, keeping me warm without that overheated feeling that some hats give. The XL/XXL size is perfect for those of us with larger heads—finally, a beanie that fits snugly without squeezing too tight! I appreciate the lightweight design, making it ideal for activities like hiking and cycling in cool weather. It’s also very packable, so I can easily fold it into my pocket when I don’t need it. The style is versatile, too casual enough for outdoor activities but looks good for everyday wear as well. Overall, it’s a great winter accessory and would make an awesome gift for anyone who loves the outdoors. Highly recommend this beanie for comfort, fit, and quality! Read more

Very nice hat! Very comfortable and not itchy. The hat is for larger heads, but I'd recommend going up a size if y want a looser feel. It's true to size but it hold firmly Read more

Very soft and warm, but is also more tolerable than non-wool for warmer days. Fits my XXL head very well. I've never had a hat that fit this well. Read more

Really nice beanie. Warm even on cold days…I’ve had it on in weather in the teens and breezy. As well comfortable in less than frigid temps unlike some materials that are just too hot for a typical 30 degree day. Also soft and comfortable. I got the XL/XXL but don’t have large head. From what others reported I just felt that would be more comfortable than a smaller size….it is and it’s not loose by any means. So…comfortable (soft not scratchy), warm and looks nice. Fit the bill for me. Read more

Great hat, so far. I have a rather large head, and the XL size was HUGE on me when it arrived. I washed it and dried it on high heat, and it shrunk to the perfect size. Read more

First of all, the beanie is really very nice. The material, as you would expect, is very soft and feels good against the skin. Regular wool is itchy against my skin. The Merino wool doesn't irritate my skin in the least. There is also room in the top of the beanie for hair, something I don't have! The construction is great - the stitching, the weave of the panels, and the overall quality make me think it will last for many years. Now, the one issue. I shave my big head. Shaved, it's 23 inches/58.4cm around. Yes, big. I wanted to give this 5 stars, but the sizing issue prevents me from doing so. Initially, I ordered according to reviews, and Amazon's AI - "Large-X-Large is your recommended size based on millions of customer orders and reviews." When I received the beanie and put it on my large head, I immediately knew it was way too small - a "squeezing my head like a grape" small. Since the beanie was so well made and there was a larger size available, I returned the beanie and ordered the X-Large-XX-Large (gray). I'm wearing it now, and it's a good fit. That being said, if it were any smaller, I would also return this one. So, to "bottom line" it, according to the size chart, the beanie I'm currently wearing would be too big. It isn't, and if I didn't shave my head, this one might be a little too tight. Read more

Trying to match my cherry red gaiter. This is a slightly lighter/ brighter red. I have included two identical pictures. One with flash and one without to try to capture color, not perfect, but you can see slight difference. I like the M/L size for my 7 1/8” head. Never a fan of tag on outside. Read more

Soft and warm. I ordered according to the size chart and finally got a hat that doesn’t squeeze my head. I love the feel and the color, and the fact that it’s wool. Read more
