DryKnit™ Waterproof Merino Wool Beanie with Ear Flaps – Fleece Lined Winter Hat

I have used this item for a couple of days now and it keeps my head warm even on chilly mornings. The fleece lining feels soft and comfortable. The ear flaps are a nice touch and really help block the wind. I noticed it makes a big difference when I'm outside for longer walks. The material feels strong and well made. It doesn't itch like some wool hats l've had before. The only thing is it can feel a little snug at first. After wearing it a few times it stretched out a bit and felt better. I am definitely looking forward to fully trying out during winter. Overall, this hat has been great for staying warm and comfortable. I would recommend it to anyone needing a solid winter beanie.

If your head is on the larger size like mine, you already know you're gambling when you buy one size fits all. This hat lives up to the size claim - first hat like this that I have ever had that had plenty of room! It's maybe even a little big for my 60cm head. It's soft and warm. There is a liner inside so there are extra layers to trap heat. I did not like the faux fur around the edge. Doesn't look as good in real life. But the hat still looks pretty good, and the important thing - keeping warm

I spotted this fleece-lined hat with ear flaps from Top-Ex and wanted to give it a try. I have Raynauds Syndrome and do all I can to stay warm. This looked to be a little better for fully covering my ears than the traditional winter hat. This is nice and comfortable and did a great job keeping my head warm. I used it on a fall campout while sleeping and in the early/late hours when it was chilly. It was breathable. It did fine going through a cold wash in the washing machine. I didn't get to test it in wet weather yet, so I can't speak to the waterproof-ness. I don't plan on wearing this in rain--snow maybe and expect it would do fine. I'm very happy with this. I got the medium-large and it fits my average-sized head comfortably.

My spouse recently started shaving his head so I got this for him for the winter to keep his dome warm. He's been wearing it around the house for fun because he likes it so much. He says it's soft on his head (which is still sensitive now that he has no hair) and feels cozy. The ear flaps go down nice and low to fully cover them. I like that. We got him the size medium, for what that's worth to you for sizing. The medium fully covers from the nape of his neck to his eyebrows and is nicely snug without being tight at all. I picked the green color so I could steal it from him occasionally, or just in case he didn't like it I would adopt it. I think it'll get lots of use no matter what. At $20 it's a reasonable buy. I'll update this review if in the coming winter weather the hat proves not to be warm enough or not water resiliant.

I got this because I am always on the lookout for winter hats that actually fit a larger head size. Most hats run small on me, so when I saw this one was made with larger sizing, it stood out. When I opened it, there was no odd smell, and the hat felt soft inside and out. The stitching looked neat, and the ear flaps were short but long enough to fully cover the ears. When I tried it on, it fit exactly as I hoped. The fleece lining felt warm and soft against my skin, and the ear flaps stayed in place without riding up. It did not feel too tight or loose, and it stayed in place while just moving around. I wore it for a while outdoors for a bit, and it was comfortable the whole time. I gave this 5 stars because it met all of my expectations. It is large enough to fit comfortably, warm with its fleece lining, and the ear flaps, while smaller, do their job. At $19.99, I think the value is right in line with a good quality beanie made for larger sizes.
