I bought this beanie to cover my head when I went out on those cold days where a cap just wouldnt do. This product did its job and kept my head warm. I live in Oklahoma and not only does it get cold at times in the winter but Oklahoma is known for its windy days. I wore this on a 45 degree day with the wind chill making it 33 and it worked perfectly. I had a couple of co-workers try it on( didn't really want thier heads in my cap but...)and they wanted to know where they could get one themselves. I wear a hardhat at times and it fits well underneath. So as of now, this product is well worth it.
Dont expect this to cover your entire ear as it covers the top portion only.
