I haven't tried testing this by head-jamming in any gritstone cracks with it, but it does work well as a head insulator, with a couple of nice fringe benefits!
Internally, it has thoroughly modern construction, with a deep Polartec headband that insulates when required, and acts as an effective sweatband during more energetic phases.
On the outside, it has the appearance of something your Granny knitted (in a good way), so it's more traditional and less slick than other more 'corporate' designs, without looking like you've lived in an Eskimo commune for the last six months, either! (imo the avoidance of any silly dangly bits or bobbles is a major bonus!!)
The crocheted design also gets a little furry with age, which adds to the personality, patina and individual nature of the beanie - when you look at it you'll remember some of the adventures you've shared!
I like how Mountain Equipment have done just enough with this hat, without trying too hard. It's a great classic design that harks back to the good old days of EBs and woolen shirts... It's become a firm favorite of mine for winter days.
Select a coloring scheme you like, buy it and you'll have a mountain friend for life!
