Re:Hat Advice please

Me1st posted Jan-2009

Can anyone give me some advice on a ski hat.

Went skiing for the first time and loved it. The only problem was that my hat / beanie kept on climbing above my ears making them cold. I don't know if it's the shape of my head and it looks pretty silly too almost like a chefs hat!

Can someone suggest a hat that will keep me warm but more importantly stay where I put it so I don't have to keep pulling it down.

Cheers

Going to Niederau next month.

Get a helmet. Much warmer, especially on the ears.

Agreed! However if you are intent on wearing a beanie instead of a helmet try The North Face Bones beanie, they do them in blacks but you can pick them up on ebay for less than half the price! Very secure on your head and fleece lined!


Still prefer to have a helmet on though!

I think a hat over a helmet would look a little silly ;-)
