good for big head
I have a decent size head. It fits well without being too tight. I love the weave and color
Favorite hat
I'm usually not a hat person but this hat is amazing! It looks good and fits well on a big head like mine.
Literally the best hat I own
I love this hat so much I have it in two colors. I almost exclusively buy synthetic clothes because I have sensory issues with wool, this hat is the perfect amount of warmth and style. I have a big head so I don't usually fold the edge, I end up looking like a lego bank robber. I wear a size large helmet and would say this hat is the perfect size. Leaving in unfolded covers my ears and has plenty of room for my curly hair. Don't question yourself, buy this hat.
Stretches out after washing - unwearable
Tried on TONS of hats before purchasing this one. I loved the fit and color of this hat and was so excited to finally find the perfect hat. Easily fit over my top bun and wasn't too tight. However, after washing and drying a couple times (following manufacturer's instructions), it's completely stretched out and fits ridiculously loose on my head. It's so loose that it just lightly lays on my ears, letting cold air in while I'm constantly pulling at it to stay put. Pretty useless hat at this point, which is really disappointing. I only used it for a few months last winter and now I'll need to purchase a new hat for this winter.
Feels Nice, But Meant for Big Heads or Youth Look
Hat feels nice and comfy but is huge. Like I would love to see the size of head in these models. I dont have a huge head, but had to pull the bottom half of beanie up about halfway to get it snug on head. That's not not gonna work. And I'm not a hipster youth so I dont like my beanie to sit big atop my head. If that's the look you'd like, then this hat is for you. But for us dads, this isn't for me. Hat isnt locked down on the heat, so if you want some breathing from your head during an activity, this is good for that. But I wouldnt go out in a simple stroll below 10 degrees with one of these. The Shadow Bay color is closer to a purple/indigo than a blue.
Small fit
Female here. I was excited for this beanie with such a decent price point but I found it to fit pretty tight. I tend to get headaches from beanies so this one isn’t going to work out for me.
My dogs complimented my beanie
This is my favorite purchase of the year. Trust me, i have made a lot of online purchases and this tops all. This REI beanie is warm and fits perfectly. The color is absolutely gorgeous and I have been wearing it around the house. I haven't had a chance to go hiking in it but I get lots of compliments (happy barks) from my dogs when they see me wearing it.
Great hat!
I got this in the copper spice color. I love it! It’s hard for me to find a hat that I actually like. This one is taller and has a lot of room and the color is amazing. Thanks for making me a hat person, REI.
Okay for mild winter conditions
Looks good, fits good. However, the knit is somewhat loose, is 100% acrylic and causes loss of warmth in 30ish degree temperatures. For everyday wearing in mild winter conditions it works great but I would want a dense weave wool for winter snow camping and trekking conditions.
Full coverage and cozy
I like that the beanie is so soft and yet seems warm. It's on the larger side for pull down warmth. The color is very different; it's called Raisin but it's sort of a light purplish grey. I love it; one of those versatile colors.
