In short
Good for
- A waterproof knitted hat for cold, wet winter walking
- Keeping your head dry in sleet and snow on frosty camps
- Everyday and hill wear in one hat, since it looks like a normal knitted beanie
Strengths
- Sealskinz calls it waterproof, with a three-layer Aquasealz membrane between the knit and the lining
- Microfleece lining for warmth next to the head (Sealskinz)
- Knitted acrylic outer with a roll cuff
- Three sizes, S/M to XXL, unlike one-size hats
Weaknesses
- About 158 g, heavy for a hat
- Waterproof membrane only: Sealskinz makes no windproof claim and gives no hydrostatic head figure
- Sealskinz doesn't show a weight on the page: 158 g comes from its hidden product data
- Acrylic and polyester only, with no wool
