In short
Good for
- Windy ridges and cold camps where ears take the worst of the wind chill
- Mountaineering and winter walking: a wool-blend knit with a windproof ear band
- A light spare hat for the pack (40 g on montane.com)
Strengths
- 40 g (montane.com)
- Windproof Gore-Tex Windstopper headband inside the hat, for the ears (montane.com)
- Merino wool blend knit outer, certified mulesing-free (montane.com)
- Three colours: Eclipse Blue, Dark Garnet and Oyster
Weaknesses
- Only the internal headband is windproof: montane.com makes no wind claim for the knit
- No waterproof claim: montane.com makes none for this hat
- Weight differs by shop: 40 g on montane.com, 70 g on Ultralight Outdoor Gear
- No independent hands-on test found, so durability and warmth are untested
