Down filled beanie hat?

[JohnClimber]

After leaving/loosing my PHD beanie hat in a bothie this spring I'm after another one.

But who makes them as the PHD was a special offer/edition one and they don't have them on their site now?

Outdoor Research - not bad

Black Rock - expensive but top notch

Montane - more cap than beanie

Thank you

I have the OR one. It's very warm and packs up small. Seems to do the job well enough, don't really know what the more expensive one does better.

Hi John, I've got one you could have - not a great fit for my massive bonce.... make me an offer - as new

I have a PHD one somewhere, I've lost it in the house amongst all my kit

So I'd been using my Integral Designs (now RAB) primalid, a primaloft version of the down beanie. It's pretty good, not significantly heavier, and no worries about getting it wet, which makes sense seeing as I usually use a synthetic fill top. They're pretty cheap too

Black Rock gets my vote. I had a PHD one but it was a weird shape and fit was a bit off (probably my melon). Did make me look a bit cone-head

Sorted now, thanks for all your help.

I've taken 99percentchimp's hat off his hands/head
