best beanie around?
« on: December 02, 2014, 10:19:06 PM »
I'm looking for a good beanie hat that stays tight to my head. I'm sick of these hats spinning around and getting loose throughout the day constantly having to adjust them and what not. I'd be mostly using it for duck hunting so I'd be needing camo, warmth, and a good tight fit. Brands I'm thinking are under armor, sitka, etc??? Any thoughts?

Get a balaclava, covers more area, can be used as a beanie, they come in lots of colors and weights.

Balaclava's are great.  I would go with the first lite balaclava, it's a heavier weight merino product and very comfortable and versatile.  If your dead set on a beanie, both their beanies are nice (with and without brim). I didn't like the Kuiu beanie as it's a bit too lightweight.

Right On!   I have three of them....black, gray and purple.  You need to color coordinate depending on your outfit.   :chuckle:

I have a UA beanie,I cant recall specifically which one...sorry. It's thin, fleece and camo. I also have a Sitka Traverse beanie. The UA one fits my large dome fairly well but is super tight. The Sitka one is way too small and usually my 7 year old wears it. I wear a size 7 5/8-7 3/4 hat for reference. Just saying...if you have a big head, you might try some on in person before committing to an online purchase.

Is it easy to blow a duck call with a balaclava?

Here is a link and picture to the best beenie in the world.  You don't need the facemask deployed.....it can be folded up in the hat or over top the hat.

Update, went with a sitka bakaclave in waterfowl camp that was on camofire sale. Any experience with sitka balaclavas being too small? I basically bought it for the brand and cool looking camo if it doesn't fit my big head I'll give it to a friend or family with a smaller one

My sitka beanie does not fit my fat head.  Not a fan, though I do love their clothing.  I have never tried their balaclava....let us know how you like it when you receive it.   :tup:

I dig the thinner Kuiu beanie, I run warm (I'm out of shape), it keeps me warm and also breaths very well.
