This is our 3rd purchase, 1st one was for my husband, 2nd was for me, and now we are buying one for our 4 year old daughter. She does not want to wear the other head/scarf that we bought for her--she felt it was too tight and made her cough. I made her borrow my Oldelf--and she loved it. Its warm and very roomy for her head and doesnt make her feel suffocated. It survived in the wash without pilling; its very warm and roomy (my husband has a wide head) and it helps us esp when there's windchill. Good buy!
