This is the best. Really soft, really warm, a touch of luxury in the wild. Treat yourself!

The wool/fur mixture in these hats performs excellently in a variety of conditions. The fine possum fur on the outside of the hat can actually 'catch' drizzle and hold it away from the main hat quite effectively for a while. Even when water does start to build up in the material itself it still holds heat well. In fact, the hat's insulation properties make it unsuitable for use during anything more than mild physical activity unless it is very cold and/or windy. Despite its double layer of material, stiff breezes can be felt by bald heads through this beanie but this is the trade off for there being so much insulating air space within the material. Having lost my first beanie I didn't hesitate to order a second and was pleased to find that the newer hats seem to have more snug (but still very comfortable) fit. Overall: you'll be hard pressed to find anything this small that can make such a difference to staying warm around camp in most UK conditions.
