My favorite skullcap/beanie. Tough. Functional. A good purchase.
With a shaved head, a good beanie is a must and I have a LOT of them.This was purchased primarily to be used as a skull cap for winter bicycle commuting and my review is based on several real-world commutes in temperatures ranging from 30 to 10 degrees. Bottom line, this is a fantastic beanie. Many skullcaps fit so tightly that they leave a line where the elastic or seam runs. Not terrible but you're imprinted for awhile after an activity. This fits close but doesn't leave telltale lines.Today's commute is a good example of why this is a great product. 22 degrees---and with my speed between 15 and 17 on my loaded commuter, the wind chill is pushing down to the mid-teens to about 10. I was comfortable for my 15 mile ride (approximately an hour). My head sweat passed nicely to the outer layer. Didn't feel the moisture at all. All of my Merino/SmartWool beanies would have been too substantial for the ride and I would have been dripping. Hung up, it will be dry by the time I ride home after work.The Tough Headwear beanie/skullcap/liner is two layers---the inner is a nice, soft brushed surface that feels great. I wear this beanie inside the house and it keeps me toasty. Launders easily.The resealable bag has been repurposed to carry my beard wash and oil. Won't last as long as the beanie but I was impressed enough with it to save it for storage/transport use. Why not, right?Very happy with this purchase, the price, and the company itself.---UPDATE 2/2017---So happy with the 1st, I have now acquired a second.

Cold weather beanie
I really liked the color as it was as described. Item fits snugly as I would like ti to do for running and providing warmth and protection from the cold. Easily to clean in the wash machine.

Decent, fits under motorcycle helmets, questionable moisture wicking
I primarily use this to protect the liner of my motorcycle helmets. Both are snug (Arai Quantum and Shoei RF-1200), so it can be difficult to find the right beanie. What I haven’t found, however, is a beanie that actual does any “moisture wicking.” These are no different. But they do prevent sweat from dripping into my eyes, and probably protect the helmet a bit. When I remove the beanie, it’s so wet on both sides that I can usually wring it out. I suppose it would be a bad thing if I couldn’t because that would mean my helmet liner absorbed them.I have an Arai/Sheoei/AGV size M head, and the product is a bit loose, but perfectly comfortable. It can be pulled down over your ears and stay there (personally, I never do this). It usually doesn’t completely come off upon removing the helmets. But when putting the helmet on, I usually need to push the front into the helmet a bit.I also use the beanie to protect and extend the life of my baseball caps.I’ve ordered two of these. Strangely, the new one was quite different from the old. This one is a thicker material with a slightly different design. It’s fine. I wear it more than the old one. Both should hold up for a long time. Certainly longer than my Under Armor beanie that completely disintegrated.I only ordered another because I temporarily lost the first one.Does anything actually wick away moisture? Maybe that compression material. Most of my looser base layers for my leathers don’t actually wick. But the materials still protect the leathers, hats and helmets.

Well Stitched; Made For Purrpose - Cat's Meow
In the event your cognitive capacity nicely exceeds your cranial capacity, this could be just what you're looking for.Item does run small, and fits snugly under size S Bern helmet - so, presumably, if it'll stretch comfortably over your noggin, then even more room inside your ever-larger brain-case-protection.Seems well stitched, with the pony tail cut-out purrhaps somewhat larger than you may have imagined it would be; So, danged if sliding through that dang pretty dangle of yours ain't just about the easiest gollderned thing in the world.Santa Advisory: One could envision it making for a very nicely appreciated stocking stuffer, but wash off that sugar-plum fairy dust, so it doesn't get too sticky.UPDATE:Have used her a few times and expect she'll be, pretty-much, the constant companion she was designed to be.The elastic seems to have stretched slightly over brief time, so now she's an even better fit, and she does retain some body heat, so is nice and cuddly warm - granted, it hasn't yet gotten what one may call frigid just yet, low 50°s, maybe somewhat cooler with the pedal-promoted wind chill - at any rate, so far one hardly notices she's even there.& keep your head in the game,SwanUPDATE:After utilizing this thingy, almost daily, for about a month or so, I really have to share with you that I am absolutely loving it - It's my new BFF!a.) On colder days it retains near perfect heat quotient - I'm not sure if you practice the 5th Law of Thermos Dynamics: One can lose, or gain, no small amount of warm fuzzies via proper noggin noddin'; And, listen-up: one can fold the lower-cut ear flap parts upwards for more of a breath of fresh air, need be.b.) Also, it may seem an odd fact of space-time, however, being spacey over a brief amount of time, one gathers that the thing seamingly conforms to one's [let's be honest: rather unfathomable] region - granted, given one is, in pointed of fact, really more honeydew than watermelonheaded - not unlike, one imagines, the universality of the trending sought after Vulcan Mind-Meld.So, I really do have to, most vociferously, recommended: If you are thinking, there, stop being a big silly stupid head about it and purchase, toot-sweet-like; You'll be happy you did, In all likelihood.Beyond that, flap your wings vigorously on cold days, and make lots of snow angels.-Swan

Great for running on cool days
Lightweight, perfect for running on cool days. I haven't tried it under a helmet, but it seems thin enough that it would work.

Good product & Stretches Easily
This product is really soft and comfortable. Sizing is a little too tight but you can stretch it. It didn't quite reach my ears, but eventually I got it stretch to cover them.
