I really wanted to like this beanie, but even as an under-helmet one it didn't work out for me. The thing doesn't come down over my ears, has very minimal stretch to it, and is too tight for my head. And I mean too TIGHT. It actually started to hurt a bit after just a couple minutes, and I don't really have a huge head. The fabric is really nice, and the hat itself looked alright, but I just couldn't use it.

This is a great light weight hat. It keeps my head warm even when it gets snow matted to it from a boarding crash. But it leaves the ears a bit uncovered. Over all a great beanie though

Either my head is odd shaped or this beanie is, I'll lose my ears if it's really cold

Have to disagree with Chicago Guy. This beanie is just right for my head. I love the material and the fit.

Bought one for my girlfriend. It fits her just fine an also looks great on her! Also bought a Bird Head beanie for myself, which is a bit bigger compared tot the Covert.

I found this Arc'teryx covert beanie to be perfectly warm without squishing my head or my hair. If you have a larger head, your ears may get cold.
It also remains quite dry and warm on storm days. No complaints.

I bought the basmati color expecting this hat to be a cream color with a tan band. The hat was a little big. This works great for a guy but not so good for a girl who wants the hat to be form-fitting, keeps the cold air out. The color: the color was a nice cream but darker than I expected and the band was almost a gray. Okay, so I'm picky, but the picture is a little misleading.

Great material, great beanie!

I got one in orange and it is bright enough that I can get away with it for hunting. It does not completely cover my ears but I bought it knowing that. If you want a full coverage beanie this is not it however I wear mine when I am out being active and still want to be able to hear, which makes it great for hunting. This is also my go to beanie when camping and I want to keep my head warm at night while sleeping. It is also high enough that I can tuck it behind my ears without looking ridiculous. Great product! Also, i do not have a large head I think I am a 7 1/8.

The color is awesome but this beanie doesn't fit well, it's too big and deep, certainly not a one-size-fit-all.

Loved the beanie on the website...not so much on me. If your head's a bit on the smaller side, I would say stay away from this one. I didn't come close to filling it out so it just looked funny and bunchy on top.

I like this hat okay. But it's a shallow headed-thing and the band takes some work to get stretched out without busting stitches. Ear coverage is pretty much limited to the tops only and if the wind howls I suspect I will too. All a very heavy price to pay for cool.

Light, Warm, compact, soft. I give it 4 stars, the design could be a bit cooler.

Won this as a festival door prize, so I can't complain about the price. Fit is very shallow and tends to ride up on your head. I find myself going for my cheap acrylic cheapo beanie before this thing. If you are willing to drop this much change on a beanie, pick up some nice wool handmade job!

The material and quality of the hat was very nice, but it was much too small. It might work as an under helmet light head warmer, but don't expect it to keep your ears warm.
