This is a simple form fitting handmade windproof fleece hat with a rolled band for extra warmth. The four panel top hugs the head while the rolled band provides wonderful adjustable warmth around the ears. This is one of the warmest hats that I make.

About the fleece
Most of my fleece is made by Malden Mills here in the USA. It is the
best fleece available that does not pill or degrade like cheaper imported
fabrics. You can learn more by visiting

Technical Highlights
Provides warmth without the weight and bulk of traditional insulating fabrics
Highly breathable to provide comfort in all activities; does not restrict the movement of moisture vapor
Dries quickly to minimize heat loss
Durable; will outlast other imported fleece fabrics. It does not pill up like the cheep imitations. Plus it is made in the USA!
Machine washable. Please turn hats with eyes inside out to protect them.

Much of the fleece is made from recycled soda pop bottles!
I work with different thicknesses which provide
different levels of insulation for outdoor activities.
100 weight fabrics are the lightest and are excellent for a warm first layer,
for heavy aerobic activity such as running or for warmer climates.
200 weight is about twice as thick as 100wt. It is the normal weight that
jackets are made of. It provides outstanding warmth and versatility.
300 weight is the thickest. It provides the most warmth. It normally is too thick for most hats
Berber is a special fleece that is nubbly on the outside with a smooth face for the inside. Many folks enjoy the texture of this fabric. It is not as wind resistant as regular fleece.
