.. but other than that it is a great hat. I am small, about 4' 11'' and I wear xs everything in the north face, and the hat is a little too loose on me because it covers too much of my face. other than that I like it. I would not trty to shrink it.. it is 50% wool - that will shink like you wouldn't believe, and I dont think the acrylic will shrink well.

I'm very pleased with how warm this hat is, and I really like the fleece earband. My one small complaint (and the reason it doesn't get 5 stars) is that it seems a little too small - when I'm running it doesn't stay down over my ears, and I need to keep readjusting it. Not a problem for every-day use, though.

I bought this beanie in the brown color to match my pink/brown Denali. The fleece that lines the ears is super soft and comfy. Over all, I am pleased with this purchase.

So far, I'm really liking this hat. I have it in Moonlight Ivory and Black. The fleece earband is a major plus, but I do wish that the hat was a big "longer." I really have to tug the hat down so that it will stay on my ears. Living through Chicago winters, ear coverage is a must!

Given that for many heads there are only good beanies, not great beanies, because they don't stay down over your ears. This item is one such--a good beanie. The cable stitch is a stylish touch.

I own a few hats that either too small or too big. This The North Face Hat fits pefectly. It is by far the warmest hat I own. Love it!!!!

I bought the gypsy pink hat and I love it!!! I bought it just in time because it is below zero wind chill and this beanie leaves my head nice and warm. It has the most soft fleece liner! I love it!

I love the hat in terms of warmth - it doesn't itch my forehead like many other hats. The one complaint I have however is that it is a bit too short for my liking. The bottoms of my ears stick out and get really cold in the wind.

I haven't had a chance to wear it out yet in the cold, but it extremely versitile and is sized just right to fit a womans head!

Love this hat, so stylish and versatile, can wear on a hike or out downtown. Super warm and love the fleece lining around the inside edge.

This hat is awesome, not only is it warm with a big band of fleece to keep your ears from freezing, but it's super cute! The one drawback: it only comes in one size. For those of us with small heads (me included!) it's a tad too big. I think I am going to try shrink it, (it's 50% cotton) if it doesn't work I am going to just give it to one of my friends! Def a keeper though!!!

but I live in Michigan and we have been hit with some nasty weather recently. This hat has done the job extreamly well. It keeps my head warm all over and has the best head band lining ever. I would recommend it without any reservation. The pink color is very pretty and matches the gloves perfectly which goes well with my brownie colored NF jacket.

I love this hat so much I got 2. very warm on your ears, but not too hot for outdoor activities.

Love the hat - is nice and stretchy. Fits my 6-year old daughter perfectly. Soft on inside, too.

I ordered this due to the color I saw on the computer. I think it is is an ugly yellow and am sorry I bought it.
