Awesome Hat!

By Matt R Ranked #121 - Beanies November 3, 2011

I shave my head, so when the weather gets cold warm hats are a must. I've been trying to find a good cold weather hat for quite some time and the shadows hat delivers the goods, well... heat that is. I wore this hat all last fall, winter, and spring. After a year of use it is still in great shape. I suspect that its partial wool construction aids in keeping odors at bay. I've only washed it once and only did because I figured it should see a washing machine at least once a year.

It fits my head very well. The elasticity around the base of the hat keeps it snugly on my head. I'm sure those of us who shave our heads can sympathize with how annoying it is when our heads is freshly shaven and the hat has a tendency to ride up past our ears. This is the only hat I've owned that doesn't have this problem. It's not totally windproof (I don't think I would want it to be), but it does block wind pretty well. Good enough for the activities I do. I never feel like my head is getting too cold, or that I need a better hat (like I have with most of my previous hats). If you are looking for a very well made hat you can't go wrong with this one.
