Smartwool

Merino 150 Beanie

Super Lightweight

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

I purchased this to replace an earlier version that my daughter lost in South Africa a couple of years back. This looks almost exactly like the missing beanie but the other had a light blue interior that isn't shown on this product's photos. Well, I guess that inner layer made it twice as heavy as this version is really, really thin. And cheaply made imho. It doesn't feel all that stretchy, it's a single layer of material and honestly paper thin. Perhaps it's suited for under a helmet to keep the wind off your cranium but it certainly won't keep you warm in the winter. Quite disappointed.

I would buy this again

Yeah

Lightweight so you don't over heat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect weight hat for those 40° days that dip into the 30s in the shade.

Fits the bill

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just what I need!

Different than expected but still good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought this would be a warm winter hat. Turns out it's a very thin hat, more of a liner, and works great under a bike helmet. So I was disappointed that it wasn't what I thought it was going to be, but happy that it has another good use. #sweepstakes

Thin and big.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this as a spare for my other Smartwool beanie that was briefly lost. This one is very thin and oversized. I use the wool beanie under my helmet when bicycle commuting and also at work outside at a garden. The old beanie is thicker, fits better and keeps my head warm and dry. The new one does not. It slides around and does not keep my ears covered or warm. It might be ok for an underlayer under a warm hat on a very cold day but otherwise is not of much use.

Love this hat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this hat just to keep in my purse for unexpected weather changes. It's very lightweight, but can be warm... Also can be easily lost... That's why I purchased two more of them.

Hats off to Smartwool

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a nice hat.

No

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a beanie just like this that I bought at REI 2 years ago. They did not have this hat, so I ordered it thru Smartwool. When it arrived, it was thinner and smaller.
