Hey Pamela, we're sorry to hear that this didn't fit. This beanie measures in at about 18.5" in circumference un-stretched, which should work for most but not everyone. You might find that the [Fun Hog Beanie
](https://www.patagonia.com/product/fun-hog-beanie/33470.html?dwvar_33470_color=GPST&cgid=mens-hats-accessories) works better for you, since it measures in at approximately 19.75".

I am a male 5'8" 160lbs. I have a small head and often find Patagonia hats to be too big for me. I worried about this purchase after seeing on the model online. I received the hat today and too my pleasure, it fit my small head perfectly. I order the green clean climbing version. I was born in '72 so anything with 1972 goes straight ...

Is a bit snug, but I think its designed that way so the wool can wick moisture? Regardless, love this hat. Looks great and is super warm and comfy. Wool is always the answer

Ethical & Very Comfy
I came to Patagonia because I wanted ethically sources materials made by workers treated in an ethical way. Materials are very nice. Colors are beautiful. Snug fit. Will recommend and come again if I need more.
I've had a lot of knit hats. Patagonia knit hat was rated as on eof the best so I bought one. Seems like it runs a little small but maybe it will stretch over time. Still a great hat.
In the winter, I've got a beanie on for part of nearly every day. This one keeps my brains from freezing on windy ridges and is just grown up enough that it let's me run late into a casual meeting without it being completely obvious that I was late b/c I did another lap.
For me, the fit starts out snug but stretches over time and a quic... Read Morek wash by hand in the sink tightens it up again.
I love the way it fits my small head. Some beanies tend to slide down my forehead. This style does not. I bought the new red jacket and the hat matches perfect! Love this new red.
The liner in this hat is a good thought but the wool rubs through. Probably no big deal when you have hair but Im bald! Anyway, the more I wear it the better it feels. I love the look.
I bought this hat first year they sold it in grey and I have used it from backcountry skiing to a casual piece and everything in between. Very nice fit and real good warmth even when soaked
I hand wash it every fall and holds its shape
Highly recommend this hat if you are looking for a no frills hat
Paired with my Torrentshell jacket, this was nice to have in rainy Alaskan weather. I'm sure it'll also be good during the hellish midwestern winter that's sure to come later this year.
Nice lighter weight hat thats pretty soft and fits well. If you have a larger head, maybe consider a different style as this one may leave your ears out in the cold. For me, I couldn't ask for more.
Super warm and I love how it hugs my smaller than average head. Its so difficult for me to find beanies that dont fit my head loose and this one is perfect!! I love that its made from mostly recycled wool and not some random cheap fiber. I will be purchasing more in different colors
I can count on the quality of Patagonia products. I can sometimes find the same quality in products of other companies, but when given that choice I pick Patagonia because of its environmental commitment.
This is a pretty good beanie even for my big head. It does stretch a bit but I have yet to find a beanie that doesnt stretch a bit. Would be good if they did size options with these but I do like the minimalist design of it.
I was very excited about this beanie but it is very small and rides up without covering my ears. It fits my young 5 year old well, but he wont wear it because it is too scratchy.

Tight fit
This is otherwise very nice, but the fit is so snug that I had to have my 4 year old use it. If you wear glasses, this cap will be so snug your ears are sore by the end of a hike.
This is a supercute hat. I'm a small person (short, slim, small head) and the hat barely covers my ears. I have no idea how it fits a big human. Don't get me wrong, I like it. It is the right size to make my hair look good poking out from it when it's not too cold. But it is definitely not warm enough on its own in the winter. I need... Read More to use an ear warmer underneath to make it warm enough.
Thanks, Patrick! And if that stretching doesn't help, please keep in mind we'll be happy to help you [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) it.
This beanie keeps me warm but never over heated. Working out in the desert on a January morning you need to stay warm. Working into the day I forgot I had it on, never overheated! Its great.
This hat is warm and cute, and I like how it goes past my ears. However, it is kind of itchy. I would just wear a liner, but then it would be too warm. I'm thinking about sewing some thin fleece or something to the part that goes over the forehead. However, it is my go-to when I need to go outside for walking the dog or running when it's ...

Near perfect hat.
Love this hat. Fits my average size head perfectly. Im bald and while it is occasionally itchy, that could also be from all the sawdust Im around. Buying a 2nd one for my teenage son so he stops accidentally taking it.
My head size runs between Med-Lg and this fits a too snugly. Nice looking hat, good color, but the tight fit won't make it my usual. The recycled wool is also more scratchy that expected.
We're sorry to hear that the fabric weight and warmth of this beanie has been such a disappointment. Please reach out to our Customer Service Team to discuss your options to return. We'll be happy to [help](https://help.patagonia.com/s/)!

Warm and thick.
Love the hat. My only suggestion would be to add a strip of microfleece on the interior to prevent itchiness.
So I have a very large head. It fit but I wish the cut was a little bigger. Im also bald so I found it a little itchy out of the bag. Hopefully it softens up.
Hello Stephen! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We're really sorry to hear that you found the beanie to be a bit small and itchy.

Looks good, feels good
A nice, warm, good looking beanie. Cant ask for much more then that.
I have one in every color (RIP to the desert orange that has now been stolen twice). Love this beanie. Runs a little small at first but will stretch. Be weary of washing!
Overall very comfortable. I got 3 of those, all shrank badly after washing (cold water setting). After washing, it fits a 4 years old head, material gets flimsy and all the stitches strech so bad, you can see through. Patagonia needs to rethink this item, could be so much better. The R1 beanie is amazing
Hello Naor, thank you for the review. We're very sorry to hear of this experience.

Super Cozy and Stylish Beanie
I have a rather large head and often times, beanies tend be too small or too tight for me. Naturally I was worried about buying this beanie but it actually fits quite well on my head! Very snug.
Hey Raquel, we appreciate the feedback on the Brodeo Beanie. It could be that since the beanie is made from a wool/recycled nylon blend that you're having a reaction to the wool. Sometimes people have allergies with fibers like wool, so we'd recommend something different like the [Fisherman's Rolled Beanie](https://www.patagonia.com/product/fishermans-rolled-beanie/29105.html?dwvar_29105_color=NVYB&cgid=root), that is made from 100% recycled polyester yarn.

My favorite beanie!
I own a ridiculous amount of these. I must have had at least 10 in different colors. Sadly I lost a a few over the years. But it fits snugly so it will not pop off my head in windy conditions. And it's cozy and warm. And I love the colors and I love that it's doesn't have a big saggy bump at the top like some beanies. I like it to fi... Read Moret closer to my head.
Very comfortable to wear. A good beanie hat and I am giving it a good review even though I dont agree with your Company Politics or your Massive Contradictions.
This beanie is my new favorite. It's not too tight, and not too floppy. I also find it a great weight - something I can wear outside on a brisk autumn day, as well as inside when I keep the thermostat low. Overall - perfect.
I have a larger dome (7 3/8) this fits pretty solid. Warm but not too heavy or floppy. A little on the smaller side out of the bag, but after a few wears fits really nice. Goes with everything and packs super small.
I expected the product to be softer than what it is but it's made of great quality. Seems slightly smaller than what I thought it'd be for a fit but I still need to stretch it out. Customer service was excellent when getting back to me about a replacement product.
Looks really cute on but if you have a lot of hair like me its prone to popping off your head, doesnt cover your ears, and I think poor stitching design leads it to be too narrow towards the top forcing it to not wrap around your head properly. Such a shame because I do like the color and style but poor design makes it not functional enough to keep... Read More!
I have several beanies but this is the warmest of the bunch. Good looking but slightly tight. I would recommend this to anyone in colder climates wanting to keep warm.
This beanie looks great but after about 10 minutes my head was itching. Yes, I wash everything I buy before wearing. I think it is the material that is itchy.
We're so sorry to hear that this beanie isn't comfortable! No matter if it's the wool or nylon that is causing it, your purchase is covered by our Ironclad Guarantee so please reach out for assistance to return it. We'll be happy to [help](https://help.patagonia.com/s/)!

Beanie And My Big Head
After 48 years on this planet, I consider myself a wily veteran of headwear. This beanie fits my bulbous head perfect. I dont want to take it off. Its warm, its simple yet stylish. I never write reviews... ever, but I was so elated after donning this atop my dome that I had to praise the human that designed this. Bravo you... bravo...
This is my go to beanie but it is a bit itchy on my forehead. I kinda wish it had some soft fleece on the inside but I will continue wearing it. It looks cute on and keeps me warm on cold mornings.
This hat is perfect for cold weather. Dress up or dress down the snug fit of this hate will leave your head feeling nice and warm. I sometimes sweat in this hat because it keeps my head that warm. The material is very great quality. Highly recommended!!
Im in love with this hat, the material is comfortable on my bald dome and its nice and warm, even on cold Montana winter nights. I bought another in a different color just to have another around. Cant recommend this hat enough!
Thank you for taking the time to write us with your comments and we're sorry this doesn't seem to work fit wise. Please feel free to [send](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) this back to us!

Very Warm
Got my Brodeo Beanie a couple weeks ago, and have already worn it twice. Both times hiking in 48 degree weather. Definitely runs on the small side. Im a girl with a smallish size head and its pretty snug. Might not work for large size heads though unless it can be stretched out a bit. Wearing it to Yosemite this weekend and its supposed to snow and... Read More weather in the high twenties, so Ill update after that. So far its great!
Hello Teva, we are sorry the fit did not work out on the beanie. You are welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) it. We appreciate your feedback.

Super Warm
I love these beanies! I got the green and heather grey beanie. Super comfy and warm! Fit really nice...my favorite beanie from Patagonia.
This hat has kept my head toasty warm while working and looks sharp. The length is a little short to cover my ears, a few more centimeters would give full coverage. Admittedly, I do have a pretty large head.
This hat has been great for cool city nights in SF. It's comfortable but not as comfortable as some other knit hats I've had. I've haven't worn it out adventuring yet as I kind of want to keep it nice looking but I get the impression it won't breath super well.
Warm and Comfortable for taking a walk on a cold winter day, or the morning run. Though let it air dry after a wash... I accidentally put mine in the clothes dryer.. and it shrunk, like a few sizes.
We are so sorry to hear that this shrunk in the wash. That should stretch out after wearing it a few times, but if it doesn't, please feel free to [send](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) it back to us as your satisfaction is always guaranteed. We appreciate you for taking the time to write us with your comments and we are wishing you many more cold winter days in your beanie!

Small Hat
The hat was horribly small. I cant imagine any adult human fitting such a small hat. I thought it was a joke. I think someone from Patagonia should try one on and see what everyone else has attempted to tell them. All other products have been great.
We are so sorry that the hat was too small and thank you for the comments. We hear everyone's feedback and appreciate you taking the time to express this. Please feel free to [send](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) this back to us.

Very, very small hat
The quality of this hat is great, and the patch is very nice, however - the sizing is WAY off. My child has a normal sized head, but this hat didn't even come to his ears. It is almost the size of a yarmulke. And at the price of 5.00 to return it, I am hesitant because the hat was 17.50. I am so disappointed.
Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you, but we really appreciate the great feedback, Holly. It looks like we were able to help you return the hat and our Accounting team is processing the credit now. Let us know if we can [help](https://help.patagonia.com/s/) in any other way!

Brodeo "2.0" is a letdown
Got a brodeo beanie about 1-2 years ago. Loved the shallow depth fit and so did my wife, she kept stealing it! So I got her TWO for xmas. They changed the fit and the appealing feature (the shallow fit) is gone in both of them, and one is too small overall. If a fundamental design element is changed, so should the name so customers aren't buyi... Read Moreng under false pretenses. If you want a "normal" overpriced beanie, this'll do. If you have a Brodeo 1.0 beanie and want another like it, move along.
Hello Eric! We're sorry you're disappointed with this, but we just want you to know that we have not changed the fit of this beanie since our Fall 2015 line when it used to be 2" shorter in length than it is now. We've noticed that after some wear, they will stretch out a bit so that might be it! If you're still unsatisfied with the fit after a couple of wears however, you are absolutely welcome to [return](https://help.patagonia.com/s/article/Ironclad-Guarantee) it back to us.

Toasty Head
This beanie kept my head toasty and was very well crafted. Keep up the great work.
Purchased this hat first season they sold it and it has stood the time. Great no frills look and easily transfer from aerobic to casual but for sure more of a around the house /town hat.
I find it both fashionable and functional. It warms my brain allowing my brainwaves to freely roam within my skull while experiencing extreme Alaska cold like only we can get here in Fairbanks.
Hi Michelle, thanks for taking the time to write us a review! We're sorry to hear that the beanie is too tight. Your satisfaction is always guaranteed so you're welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html#searchterm=return). If you're interested in looking at a more loose fitting beanie of our we'd suggest the [Fisherman's Rolled Beanie](https://www.patagonia.com/product/fishermans-rolled-beanie/29105.html?dwvar_29105_color=BLK&cgid=womens-hats-accessories#tile-5=&start=1&sz=24).
Beanie is to small for adults. Not enough material used in the design. Then the issue of price. Why dose it cost the same amount as the Powder town beanie and is half the material. If I was able to see the beanie in person I would never buy it.
Thanks for your feedback, Patrick! We're sorry to hear the Brodeo Beanie was a bit too small for you. If you'd like to return it, you are welcome to [here](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html#searchterm=return).

Beanie?
Down here in the South we call it a “toboggan”. But beanie or toboggan, I haven’t not worn it since it arrived. Matches anything else aesthetically, functional, and comfortably warm, this has been a perfect pairing to the recycled cashmere scarf that was part of the same order. Thank You Courtney, and Thank You Patagonia.
I ordered some new beanies for the winter here in Phila and they are perfect. They fit well, are warm and they cover my ears just enough to stay warm but not so much that I can't hear!
I love them.
Hi Jeremiah! We're sorry to hear this Beanie was too small. If you'd like to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html#searchterm=return) it, you are more than welcome to.

High quality beanie with an odd fit
The look and feel of the beanie are such that it’s clear that this is a high quality product. My main feedback is that the length is unusual and sits in this weird place between a skull cap and most other beanies. I wish this beanie was at least 1” taller/longer, as it would be just about perfect at that length.
Hans, we're sorry to hear the fit wasn't quite right for you. We'll be happy to [help](https://help.patagonia.com/s/) you choose a different hat or [return](https://help.patagonia.com/s/topic/0TO1L0000002yyTWAQ/returns-exchanges) this one so don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Brodeo Beanie
This is as basic as it gets - simple, and warm. It's exactly what I expected.
I bought 5 of these, as I am surrounded by thieves and I lost stuff. I lots two last year. I think Patagonia needs to lower prices, but who am I to say -- when I have bought and worn other beanies -- as I said, I lose stuff -- I always miss my brodeo beanies. I highly recommend the product if you (1) got money to burn, or (2) are addicted to brodeo... Read More beanies and are willing to give up other life necessities to have one.
It certainly seemed like a well made product, but the fit was off for me. It was pretty short (from crown to cuff), which left a lot of forehead and ears exposed. Since the cuff is designed in, you couldn't just adjust the length by shortening the cuff. Unfortunately I had to return this one.
I used this beanie as soon as I got it on a backpacking trip where the temps were below zero with wind gusts. My head was probably the warmest part of my body! If you have a tall head it probably won’t be long enough for you but I think it mifht stretch out.
looks good, fit is smaller than usual for PTG winter hats
Style is great and I'll pretty much buy anything with a trout on it... this one fits on the small side compared to other patagonia winter hats. It doesn't squish my head hard enough to cause a headache, but there's zero chance of fitting a baseball hat underneath this one, and smushes sunglasses into the side of your head/ears during... Read More extended wear. I usually wear a 7 1/4 in fitted hats, and would not recommend this one if you have a large head.
Perfect fit for people with a normal size head that like a beanie that stays snug wear after wear. Can you please bring back all the colors without the giant patches though? It was my favorite hat of all time until the patches were added, it’s just too much.
The Brodeo Beanie doesn't afford you very much wiggle room. The hat is a very snug fit, which is unlike most conventional beanies which are a little more relaxed.
Outside of the fit, I love the design, and it is very comfortable.
I have a "normal" sized head and find this beanie to be a little too snug for my liking. It's very soft and warm, though, so I keep it around for really cold days.
