  I really liked this hat. It is very warm and not itchy at all - very cosy.

  I have purchased a number of Beanie Style hats over the years but, none come close to this one in every respect. A Highly recommended piece of kit and customer service from Ray Mears Bushcraft (Woodlore Ltd). Based on these facts I have just ordered further items. ??

  Really warm. Could just do with being 3 inches longer.

  I bought this to replace an earlier model of the same hat. Therefore I know this hat to be very warm and comfortable. What has changed with the new one, well there is the addition of a small percentage of nylon, this is a good thing. The older hat was difficult to keep on ones head with any strong breeze. When wearing it sailing, I always had to have the hood up to keep it on. The new hat is stretchier and hence grips ones head firmer. However, despite the addition of nylon, the feel is identical. I'm glad I've bought it (even though I've now found my old one again!).

  I have had plenty of beanies before and was thinking of getting a waterproof one but was put off by some reviews. Then I came across this one and was impressed by description and reviews and reassured by the reputation of this site. It was a very good choice. The first thing that strikes you is how soft the hat is. It is a real pleasure to put on. We still had some pretty cold weather to come and the hat was really warm. The double thickness material is easy to fold inside itself and several people have commented on how nice the hat looks, so it really covers all bases. Very happy with my choice and also to recommend. Cheaper here than Amazon by the way.

  Really breathable. Warm and not itchy with it. Plus having looked at the pictures I didn't expect to be enthused by the styling, its just a functional purchase for me, but I like it. The big surprise was just how well it deals with the wet Scottish climate. I've been in some proper downpours with this on already. Curious, the jacket hood stayed down to find my new hat fared Very well. Even though the first layer on the outside has ended up sodden, the layer next to my head has been untouched. I didn't feel clammy at the same time. In contrast my old favourite, a Sealskinz waterproof beanie. This gets much hotter and clammier (in comparison). The perspiration level from that is more than the very fractional amount of water seepage experienced with the new beanie in torrential rain. My new favourite hat.

  A bit of a bitter sweet experience with the possum hat, I only owned it for a couple of outings before it left me. When I first received the hat I was surprised that it was such a generous fit and I generally have a big head to start with. It required alot of adjustment to keep the hat on my head. I really did think a smaller size was in order. It was only last Friday evening on the hats 4th outing when I was in a shopping centre car park and the blew off my head in a stiff breeze and disappeared over a high wall into a river- never to be seen again. I was really impressed with this unique material though, it really was uniquely warm and airy at the same time .
