perfect camping hat!
i got one of these hats years ago and it's just starting to get a little old. my boyfriend got it for me on a whim cause it was super marked-down. i didn't realize until recently what a GREAT hat it is and have since bought two more. (i got two colors hoping that i would hate one of them but each is prettier than the next so i'm keeping both.) i've tried regular wool (too itchy), merino (nice but pricey, and hard to find size large), anything with fleece liner (usually too tight). i've got lots of hair and am also sensitive to any pressure around my head -- get altitude headaches easily, etc.as i'm not wearing this hat for serious winter camping (have a windblock earflap hat for that), i like that it can be a bit looser around the ears. when i wear this hat i tend to wear it for hours on end, usually to sleep while camping, so it has to be comfy. as long as i remember to put the little toggle-adjuster thingie in front so i don't end up sleeping with it on the back of my head :) and considering it's not lined or earflap, it's really quite warm. and it's super cute, soft and compact i love the woven trim colors. not great for wearing around a cold house on a daily/nightly basis though, as it will cause hat-hair

Love it. I like my hats to be comfortable... just loose on the head, but at the same time I seek the warmth in the winter. This hat
