SEALSKINZ | Bacton | Unisex Waterproof Cold Weather Roll Cuff Beanie Hat | Everyday Use & Outdoor Activity | Three-Layer Insulation Technology | Microfleece Lining Black

Keeps my hair dry in the rain and ever so warm and soft and cute and durable

I usually read the negative (1 & 2 star) reviews first and several people moaned about the noise the hat makes. All I can say is that they must have super senstive hearing because, whilst I could hear the slight crinkly noise, which I assume is made by the waterproof/breathable layer, it wasn't obvious or bothersome at all, and only then when you were putting the thing on. The hat is warm and well made and a bargain at what I paid on here for it (£17.50). I have a large-ish head at 61cm circumference but followed other people's advice and went for the L-XL rather than the largest one and it fits perfectly. I'm off with it for a spot of winter twitching!

Very warm and well made, a bit tight fitting. Haven't used in the rain or wet weather conditions yet

Very warm for cold Winter mornings.

Okay so what you need to know is that my husband struggles to get hats to fit his head. Normal average size hats just don't fit, so when I bought this large xl size I thought I'd just see. Well.... it not only fits but it's perfect. Who knew?? It is a lovely chunky quality with a lining and waterproof to boot!Some people have said its crinkly noisy because of the waterproof inner membrane, but I have it on good authority (husband knows everything) that it's not an issue when wearing the hat. Buy it if you're wondering. I'm highly delighted and so is he. Thanks for reading x

Had to return this - there's no way this could be accurately sized 'Large'. My bonce is 60 cm around so pretty damn big, but this beanie swamped me and was so thick it made me look like the Supermario character 'Toad'! Also, although it probably would be super warm and waterproof due to the membrane between the woolly and the fleece layers, the membrane does make a distinct 'crinkling' sound. Personally, I couldn't be doing with a hat with a soundtrack. It's all choice isn't it and I suppose it depends on how you want to look eg: Toad ! One last thing too - how come this was the only Sealskinz hat at half price - there's often a reason for 'bargains'.

Used for two weeks of fishing in Greenland. The beanie was very warm and waterproof, just what was required

This is a very good quality hat. It is a very thick material and the sizing seems accurate. The price was reasonable for this apparently older version but I wouldn’t have paid the increased price for the newer version. I find that it’s very warm to wear so is only suitable for the very cold weather but everyone is different.
