TASTY TITFER

Well, it's a hat. It packs small, it stays on in the wind 'cos it's a close fit. I've got a big nut too, but it's not too tight, even in its one-size-fits-allness.
Expensive at £10 (although of course I got mine in Glossop so it was a fiver).
Good for skinheads & baldies, especially if you don't like your hats too warm. This is lightweight fleece.

NOT IDEAL FOR THE CRANIALLY ENDOWED

Well constructed, with tough seams.

Rolls up small.

'M' on inside reversed so that if the brim is rolled up you still get to proudly display their logo the right way up (if that's a strength...).
It's a one size hat and it struggles to cover the range of head sizes. I'm a 59-60 cm head and even with closely cropped hair this hat only just stretches. Is it too much to ask for two sizes e.g. S/M and L/XL?
Okay this isn't the warmest of hats, but it's a handy low pack size item to have for evening use or for those who find most hats too warm.

Construction quality is very good and if this hat came in two sizes I'd wholeheartedly recommend it.
