head koozie

By kyle_me Ranked #942 - Hats November 10, 2009

This is one warm hat. The temps haven't gotten bone chilling yet, but it seems to be doing this job thus far. As previous people have noted, there is an inner liner head band of cloudy-softness that gives the ears an extra layer of warmth + chafe relief. I have yet to see the need for a full liner, but in sub-zero temps + gale force winds the unlined top (which nicely regulates temps) could prove to be inadequate.

I wouldn't let this be a deterrent in purchasing this hat though, it is a great item for nearly every day and use shy of stand alone expedition piece in January at 14,000'. For that, you may want to grab yourself a thin liner. However, I view this as a good thing as to not overheat me in every other situation, so I dont think i would change it even if I could.

The high quality construction + materials ensures I will have this spiffy looking hat for many years - just like all of BC wares.
