The hat is fine. The label is placed (sewn) in front, doesn't match and is clearly an afterthought. If you're shredding in Gloria Vanderbilt Jeans, this is the hat for you. S

I'm ordering another one in case they stop making this model. See my other posted review on specifics.

I'm guessing these are manufactured in China. The sizing is inaccurate. The leather toe split is too thick. At this price I really expected something special. The lined foot bed is a good idea. Maybe we'll see a better incarnation someday.

I ordered the extra large and shockingly...it was extra large. I can't believe I had to return an XL for a large. Could there really be a clothing company that pays attention to us mesomorphs? I will be checking out a lot more of Outdoor Research's gear from now on. Quality and finish were excellent and accurate sizing, Yee Haw!

I was surprised by this Pantagonia product. The sizing was inaccurate (too small) and the toepiece was very uncomfortable. The leather is hard and too thick to wear comfortably between your toes. At over $80 dollars they should at least fit accurately.

This beanie is great for a smaller head, not for extra larges like my big bean. If you size right and don't mind the awkward label placement (I hate labels so perhaps my judgement is tainted), this is nicely made, comfortable and better looking than a shower cap when that perm ain't working my friend.

This hat fits a tad small if you have a massive BEAN. However, as I write this on my back porch, I am wearing it and nothing else but my Tecnica PCS's with the sun out, snow still on the ground and a chill in the air. The wodka is cold but my head is toasty and I make a fine looking russian.

I love this hat and consider it invaluable. I always have it stuffed in my pack. In fact I am not even worthy of reviewing it.

Postscript; You only look goofy in it till your friend's fancy schmancy hat blows away in a gale force wind.

I bought this hat to run on the beach all winter. It's freezing and incredibly windy on my stretch of sand. I like to travel streamlined with no pockets or anything else to catch the wind. I stick my key fob in the pocket and go! Even with my key in a deep pocket I worried about it. Ever drop a key in the sand next to the ocean? No worries with this hat. Fits great too. Arc'teryx is usually pricey but the quality is excellent.

Great pack. Just the right amount of storage for my needs. I even use it for short trips with my kids to theater practice, sports, etc. Room for a book, some snacks, and I'm reminded to keep drinking water in the summer heat. Kids think it's the bomb, too.

Great sandals. And they fit a normal wide foot too! Imagine that.

I bought this for dry air Utah skiing. I've never worried about hydrating while skiing before. It made a huge difference in my legs the next day. In really cold weather use the heat warmer pocket. Blow your tube clean by blowing into mouthpiece. I was sucking it dry and it froze up immediately. Highly recommended for sea level dwellers like myself.

After drinking this, I really felt a difference in my legs while skiing in Utah. It's a little sweet for my taste but then all sports drinks are too sweet to me.
