Turtle FurThe Hat Watch Cap Original Fleece Heavyweight Beanie

It is warm, soft, the perfect hat for winter. Our friend loves it

I just purchased my second turtle hat. I live in Southern California, so I didn’t wear the first one out. I wore it when I went to Antarctica. I wore it when I went to NYC to see the Rockettes. I wore it when I went to Idaho in January…and somehow, somewhere, I left it there! I loved that turtle hat. It kept my head and ears warmer than any non-turtle hats I have. It’s no good for Southern California, but it great when it gets really cold.

After purchase be sure to post on social media to help those in need.

When I took this hat out of its package, it didn't seem very impressive. It's not especially substantial (2.3 oz according to my kitchen scale) and acrylic fleece isn't remarkable these days. But the weather the other day here had a high temperature below zero (Fahrenheit) with a wind of 15 mph with gusts of twice that. This hat kept my head comfortable in those conditions for an hour. That's pretty impressive.The trick, I think, is that it's made of a double layer of acrylic fleece. And then the fabric is folded back upward (like a pants cuff) at the bottom for a couple of inches. So there are two layers of fabric at the top of your head and four layers over your ears. That makes it warmer than other hats that are bulkier and heavier.

Nice stocking cap

I love this brand. It balances being lightweight, great fitting (for me) and warm enough. Lots of beanies look the business, but just don't protect my dome (and ears!) from that cold winter wind. This one really does a great job. It's the right size, big enough, but not overly so. I love the feel of the fabric. And having previous Turtlefur branded stuff (a neck gaiter) I know this stuff tends to wear well, and last.I'm happy with this purchase.

I was so excited to get this hat. It is nice and warm, covers my ears fully and can pull down to cover back of neck. The problem is that is runs small so is quite tight, actually giving me a headache. My head is small to average size for a female so was really disappointed by this fit. Doubtful that it will stretch out at all based on the weave of the material. Probably have to return.

I shave my head, so the hat doesn't feel "scratchy" when I wear it. I wear it when it gets really cold. This hat has a cuff, which I prefer. This is probably my third Turtle Fur beanie hat. Prior hats have become stretched out, so I needed a new one. I'm very satisfied with this hat.
