HAH

none

everything

lol I guess by the previous reviews I aint the only one that found the hat to be.. utter garbage. My head must be to big for a start, it was hard to get on. I'm not going to repeat what others have already said, just dont buy one. Turned into a very expensive duster very quickly (straight up)

NOT AS GOOD AS IT APPEARS

Looks alright when you pull it down every two minutes

Rides up so it looks like a pom pom on top of your head

Don't know about the sweatiness factor - I haven't found that to be a problem so far. But the inner and outer are attached in such a way that the outer slides upwards and the inner sort of unrolls. This makes the hat slowly ride up which looks ridiculous and provides less warmth. It's also slightly too small (even the large) and compresses my poor head because of the lack of stretchiness of the inner membrane. Can you see in the picture a horizontal line across the middle of the hat? I'd assumed that was only on my hat but it looks like they all get it. It pom poms above that line so that it looks like a chefs hat!! Do you need a beanie to be waterproof? Sorry Sealskinz; bad product.

DONT BUY THIS HAT

Non really,

I bought this as I needed a windproof breathable hat for my trip on the fells today.I had to continually pull it down as the outer shell moved from the inner.As for it being Breathable-Forget it.After 5 miles,the inner was soaking and this along with the icy wind caused me to get cold very quick.Luckily I took a spare hat.The hat should not be sold as'Highley breathable'A total waste of £20.I have owned many hats over the years and this is the worst.A NO NO in sub zero temperatures.

I noticed that Cave and Crag where I bought it only put the good reviews on their web site.

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE

its hat shaped.. nearly.

My first review on this site, thought id do a awful, waste of money item first as the other reviews here are so removed from my own experiences. First of, I order the large size, all other hats, caps, beanies etc have always fitted me, not so with the sealskin, its very tight, after sqeezing it on my head it becomes uncomfortable v quicky, Your head will sweat in this. The inner and outer fabrics are only joined and the 1 seam, so they come apart and inner rolls up so it also looks deadful, you need a mirror to put this hat on.

sweaty, tight, badly made. expensive when you can get a far superier beanie out of some mid weight or stretch fabric for 50% less

Not sure of waterproofness of this hat as i never took it out, but what would that matter anyway with your head saturated with sweat.
