I bought this for my snowboarding trips this winter and didn't use it much as the times I've visited the slopes it was in the 50s.

The beard is removable, so I ended up just wearing the beanie, which kept me very warm. I think brand name beanies are usually around 20 bucks, so why not get one with a heard attached? I received a lot of compliments on the hat and beard when I wore it. This makes a fun gift for guys, girls, and kids.
