When looking at this beanie on line it's a nice looking hat. Thankfully I did not purchase for how it looks when worn! Not very attractive on women. I did purchase for under my bike helmets, for fall rides, it can get chilly and my ears hate the cold! These hats are perfect for that! I have another one that is pretty thin but not as warm, so I thought I'd try this one as it is really heavy gauge material and it's very warm. I have long hair, and when I wear it all you see is the long hair out the back! Looks kinda strange to me. For warm & stylish I just go to my FAUX FUR TRIM TRAPPER TROOPER HAT, looks really good with long hair, I transform into Natasha, the sexy Russian...ha ha ha!! But I digress... This is a warm hat at a great price, sold by a seller with great customer service, what more could you want?? It covers your whole head and ears too. There is a slight little ?? bulb of material at top, but maybe just from being new and will probably flatten out with washing. Overall it was a smart purchase.
