Amazing warmth to weight!
I have owned at least 20 different beanies and I have to say that this beanie is hands down the best warmth to weight ratio. The cut of this beanie is quite awesome as well, as it covers the entire back of my neck and ears with ease. The beanie is sort of stretchy, and at first it looks like it would let wind in, but it does a decent job (it is far from windproof) at not being decimated by the wind. On winter hikes I just throw this on over a visor and I have warmth and some sun protection and it fits great. Dries quick and maintains its warm retaining abilities while wet. I have put it on straight from the washer and it has been quite warm.

Better then the average beanie
Most beanie hats are too small for my head and are uncomfortable to wear (My hat size is 22.5 inches). This hat fits me nicely and is not so lose that it will fall off in windy conditions. The design of this hat is long enough where it will fit all the way over your ears which makes it warmer then most beanie style hats. This hat blocks the wind better then my old fleece hat and is also warmer.

Gradient Hat
I LOVE this hat!!! The Gradient Hat is made of wool and as a result it is SOOO warm. Unlike fleece hats, this hat does not allow wind to penetrate due to its tight wool weave. It looks great, too!!

killer hat
Another fantastic product from OR. This hat has pretty cool styling and it of course keeps your noggin toasty warm. Buy it, you won't be disappointed!

Comfy for Moderate to Cold Weather
The boiled wool has a nice feel to it and the material is relatively thin (thicker around the ears where there is an inner fleece liner), but warm. I bought two OR "one size fits all" winter hats recently and they fit very well (I usually wear an OR medium), covering the ears nicely with a little bit of room up top to spare. The fabric is not super dense and I would rate wind resistance as moderate. If outside in bitter cold (single digits and lower), this hat would be best used with a jacket with a hood to help trap heat. Overall a good all-around hat that will meet most of your winter needs and it looks good too.

Great beanie
The hat is comfortable and attractive. It fits snug around the sides of my head without being overly tight. It's made of dense, quality wool that appears durable and keeps my head warm no matter how hard the wind blows or how cold the weather is. I would prefer if there was less room in the upper part of the hat, I have a small head so it doesn't fit flush against the top of my skull, but this is forgivable since other people may need more room upstairs. I like the style of the hat and will buy more in other colors. The soft inner headband feels comfortable against my ears and forehead and provides a bit more insulation to seal out the cold right where it's needed. It took me a while to find a hat that looks good and performs as I'd hoped. Would recommend it to anyone.

This is a great hat. Handsome design (I bought it for my husband) and very warm. The fleece lining makes it very comfortable and the rest of the construction provides excellent warmth. Highly recommend!

Nicely designed hat
Great hat with a soft band lining. Small logo detail. Excellent departure from solid color hats.

awesome
I picked this out for my husband. It's warm and comfortable and looks great. He hardly takes it off which is my one concern since it says dry clean only.

Very nice head warmer
Among the last 4 beanies I've owned this one is by far the best. It covers my ears well and doesn't ride up. The design goes well with my jackets. Stylish without being goofy.

Warm hat!
Purchased it for my picky boyfriend..he LOVES it. He says it is very warm, and only takes it off when he absolutely has to. Usually he wears a large hat size, and this fits him perfectly.
