Review on Cozy Minus33 Merino Wool Ridge Cuff Wool Beanie – Ultimate Winter Headwear by Carlos Deuschle

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The perfect hat. Finally.

This may sound silly but I can honestly say this is the best hat I have ever bought. Let me explain: I grew up in Michigan, lived in Colorado and have always been an upstate fan. In Colorado, that meant cross-country skiing, which remains the toughest physical activity I've ever attempted (I'm good enough to sleep in a -19F snow cave on the Continental Divide at 12,500 feet in January. I've do not climb it to higher mountains). ). For all these years I've been looking for a thin 100% wool knit hat with an actual "cuff" (or whatever it's called on the head). I could never find it before this cap. This cap is perfection in my eyes. Long enough to cover ears twice as thick or fall off completely in strong winds. Perfect thickness (thin but no capylene) for layering or uphill backpacking. Fully adjustable and changeable. Light. Easy. Authentic. My only request is some kind of pinstripes or pattern, but that's just vanity. Yes, forget this request. She's better without jewelry. FWIW, my head size is 7-3/8" and the hat fits perfectly. It stretches effortlessly (woven like this) so it's perfect for areas large and small. And speaking of knitting, it's incredibly good Quality - amazing for the price, Really The yarn is more like thread and the weave is so tight it doesn't feel like it's woven at all Not the slightest bit of itching - no fibers are sticking out Tight Perfect hat Finally.. EDIT: One thing I would like to add is that this hat is best suited for outdoor activities with a focus on activities.Walking, gardening, hiking, camping, running, cross country skiing - whatever your heart desires good for sedentary things like game spotting, hunting and yes, even skiing (which is mostly a sedentary lifestyle. It's better to think of it as a lining in these situations. Layer in a ski helmet, under the hood, etc. or perec are you looking for after any number of fatter hats. It's subtle, like this is something hard to find. I have two and will buy two more.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
