Is this breathable? I imagine with sleeping bag-style material that it might get pretty sweaty and damp underneath this.

sMACkHigh grade Goose Down is extremely breathable. You'd be surprised how much moisture down can transfer along with the wicking headband material sewn into each beanie. The birds really do know how to insulate themselves! Then for the shell and liner material used in most of our gear it's very breathable yet moisture repellent. This particular run uses a Diamond Weave nylon coated in DWR.
The temperature range for the hat is also really wide. It's still comfortable to wear up into the low 50's yet toasty warm easily into the 30's. Next time you've got one of your down sweaters on think about how comfy it is for such a wide temperature range. Half of the winters here in Seattle I spend in a T-shirt with my Montbell down sweater at the ready and not much beyond that.
We've had our hats specifically travel on hikers up and down both the PCT and AT putting hundreds of miles in them. Many customers have more than one BRG hat. We make Siliconized versions, Synthetic models and others that have used nothing but the ultra softest 10 denier nylons with barely a DWR coating to it. When a hat went up Everest I made one using a 30d siliconized shell and 10d liner with heavier stuff. That was sick. They've all been wonderful hats in my opinion ;) As for the current HyperD material in this run of our hats I feel it's the right lightness with the best durability. I also really like the weave pattern and think it makes for a striking piece.
