Devo

These were made popular back in the 80's when Devo wore them in a music video

Life saver

This thing saved my life! I took it on a week long backpacking trip in the Great Smoky mountains this past January. Happened to be the coldest week of the winter with night time temps reaching -5 f and day time highs in the single digits. When I stopped for munchies and to catch my breath I instantly threw this on and my head stayed toasty warm. It’s like a sleeping bag for your… read more dome. Btw, I never saw myself in it so I can’t speak to how it looks. Who cares???

AMAZING

Super comfortable and WARM! My head is small and this thing fits like a Glove pulls down far enough and covers my ears as well. Best hat I have ever purchased.

Looks funny, can’t get over it.

Really dig this hat if I was using it for say…winter camping. I think people who are looking for a hat for the coldest of cold days are really gonna dig it. I don’t. It looks pretty funny. I thought it would hug my head a little closer and round out a bit. It doesn’t and I feel like I should be in a Devo video. It’s toatally warm and, like all OR products it’s very well… read more constructed. A real winner in a tent or something else static. A little too warm for aerobic activities. It also really interferes with hearing, (muffles sounds), which again is great…in a tent and sleeping bag. Call me vain but for an everyday hat, it looks funny.

I wanted to love this

The concept is great, the fit is just not good - I got the largest size and the elastic band is too sharp around the ears.

Super warm but not wild about the fit...

I don't have a large head (a swelled head perhaps, but that a different story!) - however I couldn't get the beanie to fit comfortably. I had tried the small/medium and that definitely didn't fit, so I gave it to a friend and ordered the Large/XLarge, but compared to other beanies I've worn which were wool - so heavier and maybe conforms better to the shape of my head - the down… read more beanie, despite being super light and super warm, just didn't warm its way into my heart...

Adorable and functional

Does it resemble cupcake frosting? Maybe a bit, and that's only one reason why I love this adorable down beanie! It's light, packable, warm and unique. I wear it everywhere. Its so light and comfortable that I often forget it's on my head.

Looks funny, but get over it.

This beanie is straight up awesome. I was very skeptical, but it ridiculously warm and comfortable. Weave of the fabric is tight enough that it actually muffles outdoor noise quite a bit. Compacts down like your favorite down jacket, so its good to go on your head, or in your pocket. Sorry Merino beanies, there's a new king in town.

Large

I bought a L/XL based off of the size chart. Unfortunately it's ginormous. The fabric all bunches in the back leaving a layer effect. It almost resembles a turbin, thats how much fabric im talking here. I wrote OR and am awaiting response. Hat is warm enough and will be taking on backwoods outing in a few days.

Incredible hat!

Very light weight, comfortable and warm as can be. I even wear it when I sleep outside and don't even notice it.

perfect hat! SUPER warm

this hat is amazing, it looks good on and folds up small enough to fit in your pocket. it is so incredibly warm, i'm so glad i bought it!

Never short on warmth

I bought this product for my wife since she is naturally cold blooded. It is now her favorite dog walking hat for 0 - 30 degree weather. She also brings it on all back country expeditions for guaranteed warmth when ever she needs it.

apex beanie !

look no farther for the warmest beanie. this is a must beanie.... I can even wear this in the sleeping bag without readjusting it .stays put. well worth it !

Outstanding hat

Blocks wind and extremely warm in the coldest temperatures. A must for anyone who lives in the extreme cold.

love mine and my wife loves hers !

i love my down beanie its very warm and it packs down so small ! i got a big nugget so i had to get a lg xlg and it fits well i have a 7 3/8 in head

Great for winter base camp

I got this just to keep my head warm when stopping on the winter trail for a break and of around base camp on climbs. Well worth the money! Incredibly warm of course and very soft. Not as breathable as I would like, but you can't have everything you want.

How much does this weigh, also who small does it pack down to?

Will this work for ladies? I will be traveling to Northern Sweden in March 2015 to try and catch the aurora. Any products that are as good as this, if this isn't recommended for women? Also does anyone have any other items that I should take with? Thank you :)
