Possum Fur and Merino Wool Beanie Hat

  Warm and soft when worn in any adverse weather. Comfy enough to sleep in during the night too. I don’t find it itchy, unlike some beanies. Be very careful when washing it though. From personal experience it doesn’t take much to shrink one. Woodlore customer service is faultless, as usual.

  Expensive item for what it is, however this is the warmest hat I’ve ever owned. After a minute you will feel your head really start to warm up, the material is beautiful and soft, goes without saying the importance of keeping your head warm whilst in your bivvy or sitting around on a cold night significantly outweighs the price. If anything should happen to this item rest assured I’d buy it again at the drop of a hat.

  I've been buying these beanies for somewhere around 5 years now. the oyster color is softer than the others. I've purchased the tan, green, and blue before. this is my second tan and again it has been the softest. The names of the colours seem different from what they were years ago. As far as function, I keep buying them for their ability to get wet while being snowed on and drying fairly quickly. Love these hats

  All I need say, the product is that good I bought a second one. Excellent product and service.

  Speedy delivery, used the hat on a snowy wild hike in Glen Dye and it worked well. I highly recommend this beanie hat.

  I have several wool or wool blend beanies and this is my new favorite. It is softer then merino and even feels better than cashmire. The beanie is surprisingly warm for the weight and thickness and the thermal regulation seems better then my other beanies. The fit is good, I wear and approximate size 7-1/2 hat and the beanie is just a little loose but not enough to worry about it coming off.

  Warm as toast, light as a feather and I am very pleased I bought it. I will probably buy another one in a different colour, excellent product.

  Warm but not the best. I bought this hat I as I have been thinking about this over the past few years, and a 40th birthday photographic trip to Iceland meant I needed this. It arrived with Woodlore's usual prompt and well packaged service. The hat was nice and warm and I thought nothing of it until actually using it in Iceland. The hat has a construction similar to that of a popped beach ball, with one half then pushed into the other. This means that when taken off you have to spend time reshaping the hat, constantly, to get it back into shape to fit back on your head. I found this incredibly frustrating when it was Icelandic Gale force winds. If it was stitched at the top that would be great. Something I have had to do to actually make it usable. It also loses size, My head is normal (7 1/2 hat size), but after a day of wearing it had loosened to point where it added to the previous issue, just loose and annoying. Overall, warm but fiddly and frustrating and I wouldn't recommend.

  I used this as my primary head gear for a recent course in arduous conditions in Canada. It kept me warm to minus 27 degrees Celsius. Feels great and packs well. Recommended.

  Good quality, warm and soft but lacks a bit of tightness.
