I just received my beanie and neckwarmer today.
My first impressions:
- Beautiful, highly saturated navy blue color.
- Lightweight and about as thick as french terry fabric.
- It still has a slight itch to it but is softer and more pleasant to wear than Icebreaker, Smartwool and Carhartt's 100% Acrylic hat.
- With the beanie on and the neckwarmer pulled up over my nose, this is more comfortable than wearing a balaclava. It's nice to not look like a ninja in the city.
- Tag on the beanie is sewn too low such that it shows when cuffing the brim. I'll probably cut it off.
Time will tell:
- How well will the neckwarmer spring back into shape after being worn over my nose for extended periods.
- How warm it will be when the temperature is below freezing when my breath dampens it.
- How much pilling or pulls it may have with normal use.
Next steps:
- I will order another beanie and neckwarmer since my son want this set.
- I want to order their baselayers.
- I'm looking forward to the socks from Kickstarter.
