SmartwoolMerino Beanie

Very thin but that what I wanted. Perfect under a hard hat.

This beanie is super thin which is ideal for just a little something on your head for high activity such as running or moderate hiking or wearing underneath a helmet or ballcap. Super soft, very light, and good warmth to weight ratio. This beanie has its purpose and those who understand that will love it, those who don't will exchange it because they were expecting a heavier, warmer, more meat on the bones, toboggan/toque/beanie or whatever you want to call a watch cap!

It’s definitely not nylons thin, but it’s see through. It’s a perfect hard hat liner for sweat.

Light and comfortable. Thin material, but doesn't overheat while running, and takes the sting off of your ears during winter runs.

Item description is deceptive, it’s not a beanie it’s more like a liner only thinner. Not your typical Smartwool quality.

When this beanie was ordered, I thought I had found what I had been looking for, for a long time. I was disappointed as it is very very light and really has no warming value for me. It is thinner than a hard hat liner by a considerable measure. If you are looking for a beanie for warmth, take a pass on this one. Perhaps if you are a runner this could fit your needs.

This beanie is good for a brisk chilly day where you won't be spending the day outside. It's thin but fairly warm for how thin it is. If you want a beanie for skiing or being outdoorsy in the winter, this isn't it.

By far the lightest, yet still warm beanie I have. It’s thin enough to wear under helmets without causing any discomfort.
