The hat (following a tradition among many manufacturers, and unfortunately now Patagonia too) is very thin, in a way impossible to see from the web photos -- but you'll notice it if you try wearing it in winter in any northern state, especially if it's windy. It's more of a 'style hat' than something to keep you warm.
Hi Enrico, we're sorry to hear you're disappointed with the fabric! Please feel free to check out the [Better Sweater Fleece Beanie](https://www.patagonia.com/product/better-sweater-fleece-beanie/33411.html) for a thicker, warmer option.

Patagonia never dissapoints
I’ve had my beanie for a few weeks now and I wear it nearly every day. It is stylish, functional, and well made — exactly what I’ve come to expect of all Patagonia products.
We like it, but were surprised at the "one size fits all" sizing. If you have a large noggin, it will fit very small. It would also be nice if they made a lined one; this one is good for mild cold days, but definitely won't suffice on colder days.
This is my second fishermans beanie in this color. I sadly lost my first one on a trail out and had to replace it ASAP. Over 3 years, including countless adventures and daily wear in the fall and winter, it's kept its shape, color saturation, and integrity of the knit. And the fabric doesn't pill!
This beanie is tight, I actually find that the Brodeo beanie wears better on my head than this one but it's equally warm. One thing is that if you don't have hair, this hat will compress your head and leave imprints of the ridges (they last about an hour or two). I'm hoping this is something that'll go away after it stretches ou... Read Moret a bit. That being said, I docked two star sbecause the material doesn't look as sturdy as the Brodeo that I've had since 2016. After a few days I already caught a loose yarn sticking out on part of the hat, hope that it doesn't unravel into a hole eventually.
Awesome winter hat! Love how the hats fits many different people (just roll to fit). My whole family owns one of these including a 1 year old, 4 year old, me and my wife! We love em’
Purchased as a present for my wife and happy to report that we'll be fighting over who gets to wear it. Good looking, warm beanie. Comfortable too.
This beanie is supremely comfortable. As a bald man, it is difficult to find a beanie that will keep my head warm and not itch like crazy- this beanie is all of that!
I got the orange to wear hiking and around my woods during hunting season. It runs really small. Can't have my hair up under it. It doesn't stretch much either.
I have been wearing a "fisherman" beanie for many years, and this one of the best i have ever worn. I have a big head and this hat fits perfect.
I found this hat at an outdoor store on a rack with 50+ other beenies. This one was the most comfortable and looked the best. It fits FANTASTIC, it stretches over time a little, so do t get impatient and stretch it out or it'll be too big. It has just enough length to fit like a "condom" hat with no roll, and you can roll it up until... Read More it's super small. It's not itchy and it's just the right amount of warm. I think it would be too hot to wear in the high 60's-70's, and not warm enough below 20.
This hat is comfortable and stylish at the same time. My only concern is that a few weeks after purchase the threads are starting to come undone. I was hoping a little bit more quality would have been put into it for the price. All in all though it's a great hat to keep your head warm!
I ordered this hat after reading the comments because I have a small head and most one-size hats are too big. They are right! It’s small, but it fits me just right and I love the mrytle green color and that it’s not made of wool. It’s a stretchy loose knit so I think someone with a medium size head could wear it also. It’s not a cold winter day hat... Read More, but it’s my new favorite.
This had is beautifully knit, and I loved the color, but it runs really small. I have a large head, and it's not even close on me. My buddy has a medium head and it's still a bit tight. So it looks like I'll be giving it to my wife or son. If you have a small head, you will love the hat. I'm hoping this beanie gets offered in tw... Read Moreo sizes in the future.
I'm a bit baffled by all the comments on this beanie running really small. I have a large head and finding hats that fit well is always a challenge. This beanie fits me really well. It's light, stretchy, and warm enough for my needs (it's a moderate weight hat). If I was headed to someplace really cold, I'd grab a different bean... Read Moreie. So consider this a counterpoint to all the negative reviews. Clearly others have an issue with the sizing, but I love it.
I would love this beanie if I had the head of a toddler, but unfortunately, I am an adult. I am begging you not to get this cap. Please don't waste your money.
I bought this for my 20 year old son and gave it to my 2 1/2 year old nephew... it's nice quality but SO SMALL... it needs to be sold in the children's section...
Like other reviewers,this is smaller than you'd think looking at the picture. Also not as thick looking as the picture. Kind of surprises you when looking at it in person compared to the online picture.
Anyway,didn't think it was a big deal. Decided to keep it and wear it. All the comments (unsolicited) has to do with it being small look... Read Moreing,like I'm wearing a kid's hat... whatever.
Also,I liked the idea of a "fisherman beanie" but,this really doesn't have that fisherman look,too tiny,slightly thin. It looks more like a snowboarding beanie cap.
It's about the size of a yamaka. The pictures make it look so much larger than it actually is. Gonna return it if it doesn't get lost in my pocket among the lint first.
When this hat arrived in the mail I was shocked. I had to look at our invoice to make sure it wasn't a baby's product. It literally looks like an infant's hat! It honestly BARELY fits my 2 year old. I will either keep it for my son or it will be going back. It's a shame because I love the orange color.
I loved the hat but unfortunately I had to return it. Hole devoloped at the seam and it frayed too easily. This was only after a few weeks of light wear.
I purchased this hat about two weeks ago,last week I was skiing some deep powder and went down a couple times. When I tried to brush the hardened snow from the beanie a large portion of the threads came with it. Luckily we're dealing with a great company. I walked into the towns local Patagonia and they swapped it out. I love the style and It ... Read Morefit my head perfectly while I had it ( 7 1/4) and was very warm. If you aren't going to be rough on the hat I'm sure it would be fine.
I like the idea of a very simple hat. However, the top seam on this one is bulky and it doesn't quite lay right, whether rolled or not. I still wear it a lot anyway...but strings are now coming out all over the hat. Doesn't seem like it's going to last very long before it's too ratty to wear.
My head gets cold and I wear a lot of hats. I got this one when Patagonia had their "donation" day after Thanksgiving: I can always use another hat and besides,it was for a good cause. Well,turns out it's not just a good feeling. The hat is soft,comfortable,and has,for me,just the right amount of stretch. Even more impressive,it'... Read More;s warm and holds up to a wind. That is,hats like this have,in the past,always seemed a little cold to me due to the weave. But not this one! The warmth is impressive and lasting. I'm liking this one so much that I'd look for another one when this one needs replacing.
Holy cow what a great beanie! I was skeptical at first feel (comfort) and weight(warmth) of the beanie,once I put it on it is my new go to beanie,it is hands down the most comfortable beanie I have ever worn. The weight is just right I have worn it in 17 degree weather and 40 degree weather and it was perfect. Highly recommend!
I like the idea,but the weave on the hat is too loose to feel snug (or even especially warm,for that matter). I have a largish head (size 7 1/2 hat),and a moderate wind blew this hat off! I like the style,but it just hasn't been executed especially well yet.
I'm a guy and normally the "one size fits all" hats fit me,but this one was WAY to small. I put it on and immediately knew I couldn't wear it. The other hats/beanies are a bigger. This beanie is definitely a kids size.
This is the perfect every day, all around piece. It's nothing special, but that's what's so special about it. I can get rid of all my other beanies that have been taking up too much room because I want to wear this until it has holes in it, then fix the holes and wear it until it falls apart.
