Review on Stay Warm with Helikon-Tex Men's Beanie: Perfect Winter Headwear by David Reyes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Maximum "exactly as described " minus one.

So the description is correct. All photos look like they were taken from what I received. Patch size, location and zip/loop for hanging on back. It's lightweight so it won't overwhelm you, but it's lighter. So I think it's good for 30 degree weather or higher. However, two things should be noted. First, this thing has almost no stretch other than the fabric that stretches when you pull. That means you have to order the right size, otherwise it becomes quite impractical. For reference I have a cap size 7+ and size L/XL fits perfectly. The second point is secondary, but is in the description. I ordered two of these, one black and one OD. The description says in black that it has a "lace closure". it's great no. This is a solid piece. This guy's only tie is the non-adjustable hoop at the back. Now the OD description (both screenshots above) changes the description to "Velcro" meaning velcro. I'm pretty sure the difference in description is due to different vendors and that's fine. I'm just worried that the second cap is different from the first one as they have different sellers and different descriptions. At the time of writing this article, I haven't received the OD cap yet, so I can't say for sure. In short, I got exactly what I expected with the purchase of this black cap.

Pros
  • Excellent price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
