    Comments about SmartWool Lid:

    Very excited about my smart wool purchase, which promised warmth in the winter and coolness in the summer, I found myself to be quite disappointed with a product that seemed to fail to live up to its promise. the spandex stretch wool seems to leave you more exposed to winter gusts than other hats i have worn and leaves one feeling more cold than one would without the hat.

      Comments about SmartWool Lid:

      I wore this hat out in Joshua Tree in mid-december when it was about 45f out. It kept my head and ears pretty warm. The nice thing is how it stretches around and you can wear it high or low.

      I'm not sure I'd use this in anything lower than like 35 degrees, unless I was wearing a hooded jacket or something else on top of it.

      Also, in anything more than a light rain this would not be the best choice again unless you had a rainproof jacket.

        Comments about SmartWool Lid:

        I love this hat. I got it last year at the end of your sale. Before I was using a windproof fleece hat. I really liked it until I got my Smartwool Beanie. I don't ever wear my old beanie any more. I just bought a new black one as well.

        Seams poorly stiched

          Comments about SmartWool Lid:

          The second time I put it on, the seam failed and a hole popped open. The manufacturer needs to redo the construction of the beanie. A one piece wool beanie is much better.

            Comments about SmartWool Lid:

            This is my 2nd Smartwool Lid, the first unexpectedly split at the seem after only 2 uses. Since replacing that with a new one (which I've had for a year and half with no issue) I couldn't be happier. Even in the pouring rain in near freezing temperatures it still keeps me as warm as when it's try. I have to say that this is the best piece of headwear I've ever owned.

                These are great hat.I have purchased several from REI. Lost most of them, LOL. Love the fit.
                Price is now out of line. I won't be buying more.
                There are just as good less costly options even from Patagonia.
