🧢 Ridge Cuff Merino Wool Beanie by Minus33 Review

Either this is a scam/fake, or Minus33 has radically changed their product. I've been ordering/using these hats regularly for the past 4 years; Before they were all big and definitely merino wool - very warm (if not windproof). This latest order (November 1, 2018) is a HUGE disappointment. First, I don't think it's merino; Rather, it is small and stretchy, like spandex or other synthetic-based stretchy materials.

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…
