Best hat ever. This is the second iteration of this hat that I've owned, lost the first somewhere. I have a smaller bean and this fits well, but I can also wear it over a ball cap when I need to be toasty and keep the sun out of my eyes, as a plus the hat does not stay stretched out afterwards. As stated in the review title, this hat is approved for use in arguably the coldest place in the lower 48, tested at -33F with a breeze (today was chilly), no issues keeping my ears & shaved head toasty. Will buy again when I lose this one.

Warm, small but stretches

The hat is warmer than a double layer merino wool beanie I previously wore. The internal head band adds protection and the wool is thick. I'm a pretty normally sized tall man. 6ft2inches , 215 pounds, average IQ, and it's pretty tight on my skull. My glasses were compressed tightly for the first month of use, but it's slightly stretching. I'm glad I bought it. I've worn it down to about 10f (excluding wind chill). I bet it'll be good down to -10f or lower.

Best beanie for the winter!

love the lambs wool for its super warmth and so comfy. you would think wool might be itchy but this lambs wool is quite the opposite! use it daily on my winter walks with the dog!

Family fights for this hat

This is our all time favorite wool hat. It is amazingly warm for the thickness (thank you, boiled lambs wool!) and the fleece band inside keeps it from feeling scratchy on your ears. It fits my big 7 3/4 noggin and my wife's 7 1/2 and our daughters 7 1/4 just as well. Really, it's a fabulous hat!

Super warm! Runs small.

Super warm hat! Runs small (one size).

Fantastic hat for the cold.

Fits snugly and comes down fully over the ears! Very warm and also stylish.Fantastic hat for the cold. I live in the Yukon, and this one deserves the monicker "Yukon"!

Love it!

This boiled wool beanie is soft on the inside and tightly knit which provides the warmth I require on cold winter adventures. If I could change anything about this product I would love to add a little bill. Outside of that it's perfect.

Great toque

This toque is great. It is very warm but also very lightweight. I have a small head, and the band around the ears fits perfectly. I think it would be a little tight on someone with a more normal-adult-sized head. The toque is very warm and handled a cold SK winter with ease, with temps -30C (-22F) or worse. Stood up to wind fine as well. Overall, very happy with this buy.

Nice hat. Looks great. Small heads perfect.

I am a big fan of this hat. It looks good and feels warm. The quality of the hat feels like it is well built and will last a long time. Sizing: I would say my head is generally small. I wear s/m bike helmets; moto helmets and my hat size is 7 and 3/8s, so S/M hats will work when I'm not going for a size-specific hat. This hat is labled as "1 size" and is snug. I'm hoping for a bit of stretch as it wears in. I will never be able to wash this hat as per directions. If I had a "large" head, this hat would work. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will stretch a bit.

Great Toque!

Very warm and comfortable! The boiled wool is soft and the inner fleece brim prevents the possibility of any itchiness (for those without hair like me).
