I found the Minus 33 Merino Wool Ridge Cuff Beanie to fit my size 7 (hat size) comfortably snug.I like the cuff, as it can be used as an extra layer around the side of my head or, the beanie can be made longer by rolling down the cuff to cover more exposed ares of you face and neck.The material has such a nice hand (feels nice to the touch) and is effective at keeping your head warm and dry.Recently while out snowshoeing, I came across some ladies being guided up the North Fork of the Provo river in Utahs “Uinta” mountains. They noticed my “Minus 33” beanie and commented that it would do great for cycling, as it is not too bulky, and liked the color I had chosen (tan).I have used (and tested) Minus 33 clothing for years and am impressed with the look, fit, feel, and functionality of thisProduct.

The Minus33 Merino Wool Ridge Cuff Beanie has quickly become one of my favorites. It’s incredibly soft and comfortable, making it easy to wear all day without any itchiness. Unlike some other wool beanies, this one feels great against the skin and provides a snug yet breathable fit.In 20-degree weather, it keeps my head warm without overheating, which is something I’ve struggled with in synthetic or bulkier hats. Compared to the Carhartt beanies I’ve had in the past, this one stands out for its superior comfort and insulation while remaining lightweight.The quality of the merino wool is excellent, and it holds up well over time without stretching out. Whether for everyday wear or outdoor activities, this beanie delivers in both warmth and comfort. If you're looking for a premium wool beanie, this one is definitely worth it.

Bought two of these, one for my husband and one for me. They are lightweight but very warm. Generous with material so that you can pull down over your ears when necessary. Well-made. Love them so much that after two months of wearing them, I just bought two more. Great value and so comfortable that I've been wearing mine for the past three days because I'm so sick I just don't want to take it off!

I bought this in every color, unfortunately before trying one. I have a small head and they slowly slide right up and off. They don’t stay put. Because they are 100% Merino, there is no grip to them, and while they are extremely warm and comfortable and soft, some tighter elasticity would be good around the bottom - no matter how gorgeous it feels, since it doesn’t stay on my head it doesn’t do me any good. I think when you have a small head, beanies like this also make your head look smaller and that can be less flattering than a hat with a brim. These don’t frame your face as another hat would, they emphasize the flaws. So if you have a small or narrow face, the beanie style exaggerates that. If you have a large head and short hair, a beanie will stay on and is a great look. Then yes, get this and enjoy. But if you are middle aged with medium or long hair, and a smallish head, this won’t be useful or the most complimentary look. Since they are so soft, and warm, I decided to use them as liners in other hats that I am knitting that are fairly loose. I will sew a snug elastic into the base of this wool beanie hat and place the hand knitted hat on top. That solves the entire problem of looking like a Neglected beetle. The beanie colors are all gorgeous and true to the computer photos, and because my knitting is loose and there is a little space between the stitches, the beautiful color of the beanie hat shows through from underneath, creating a rich, color-enhanced effect to my knitted hats. Also, the layering of the hats allows my head to seem to have more volume, so now you see the pretty hat and not just the smallness or narrowness of the face. Again, If you have high cheekbones, a good jaw line, and a large head, or a beard, this beanie by itself will be perfect for you, especially under the hood of a jacket or coat. As an aside, I’ve noticed that wearing a beanie under a hood keeps the hood on and positioned correctly on the head so it doesn’t cover your forehead or eyes, and it creates tremendous body warmth to layer this way. Some hoods are very large and fall forward because they are meant to be worn over a hat. If you have a coat like this with too large of a hood, a beanie like this will keep you feeling very comfortable in your coat when the hood is up, and could be just what you need to make your coat fit properly. Another good thing, it folds up so small that it fits easily in any coat pocket, not just large pockets, even your jeans pocket. That makes it very convenient to tuck away in case it’s not cold when you leave the house but will be cold later on. It’s unbelievably soft and not at all itchy. Unlike lambswool. People who have a wool allergy are probably allergic to the lanolin in wool or to itchy lambswool. But Merino wool is different and should be silky. Merino wool can be worn as undershirts against the skin. I recently bought Merino wool undershirts from perhaps the best known company in Maine, and upon handling them realized they had been treated or sadly were made with a lower quality merino, unlike years ago. These hats have none of that low quality itchiness. They are refined. At first I thought there was some actual silk in them. No. Anyway, megacephalics, enjoy!

This is a great hat. It's very soft and comfortable with a smooth feel to the fabric. It is surprisingly warm for the thickness of the material.I live in Wisconsin, so keeping the old bald coconut warm is important. This hat does the trick. My head is fairly large and the hat fits with no problem. I've had other beanies that were tight enough to make my eyes bulge and squeeze green goblins out of my nose, but not with this one. It stays put on my head, too. No worries about wind or small birds snatching it to make a luxury nest. I give it two thumbs up.

This is such a great find what a great hat ! This material is very soft and very comfortable. It looks great with just about any thing. I originally bought this hat a few months back for fishing during the summer up in Alaska. Early morning, fishing on the river is still a little cold there.. recently took it with me on a trip back to Anchorage and the material being very lightweight rolled up well in my luggage. Wore the hat while hiking around in the snow it kept my head very warm in 25° weather. I have very long hair and was able to wear it just over the top and a few times I stuffed my hair up in the hat and it worked well. Overall, this is a nice product and would recommend.

Great stocking hat, Warm. I was not expecting it to be so thin (Nice in one way, but on my big bald mellon, it looks kind of goofy - not the fault of the product. It is well constructed and it is not "itchy" like you would think wool would be. Nice product.

Light, warm and not scratchy. Exactly what I was looking for.

Elle aplati les cheveux vue quelle est plus serrer . Mais c'est parfait pour la voiture et les marche . Je ne transpire pas dedans et me garde au chaud . Matériel léger et comfo . J'ai pris la beige et grise. Grise un peut plus petite mais j'ai une petite tête alors ça va .

I like the beanie it covers the ears, the wool is soft and keeps you warm.

It is perfect for hiking in cold weather and for every day activities. Doesn't overheat. Material is soft, pleasant to wear. It looks cute.

The merino wool in the product is good quality. Feels and looks just as good as it does in the pictures
