I've been using customized beanie hats from Wholecustomdesign for 90 days. Here's my day-by-day breakdown of my experience with the COKK Winter Beanie Men Women Hats Baggy Cap Windproof Keeping Warm Outdoor Casual Hat Female Gorro Bonnet Femme Chapeu dark grey-55-60cm.
Buying hats online can be tricky. You can't feel the material or try it on. This review will help you decide if this beanie is right for you.
Here are some things I was looking for in a beanie:
The beanie arrived quickly. The packaging was simple but effective. My first thought was that the dark grey color was exactly as pictured online. It looked like a decent, basic beanie.
The material felt soft to the touch. It wasn't itchy like some cheaper beanies I've tried. It seemed well-made, with no loose threads or obvious flaws. I was cautiously optimistic.
I tried it on right away. It fit snugly but not too tight. The 55-60cm size seemed accurate. I have a slightly larger head, and it stretched comfortably. I was pleased with the initial fit.
Verdict: Good first impression. The beanie seems well-made and fits well. I look forward to testing it out in colder weather.
I wore the beanie every day for a week. The weather was chilly, around 40-50°F (4-10°C). I wore it while walking the dog, running errands, and just relaxing outside.
I noticed that the beanie kept my head very warm. It blocked the wind effectively. I didn't feel any drafts. This was a major plus. I sometimes find that acrylic hats can be a bit itchy, but this one wasn't.
One thing I did notice was that the beanie can get a little warm if you're active. If I was jogging, I would start to sweat a bit under the hat. It's definitely designed for cooler temperatures and lower activity levels. I learned that wearing it during a full workout wasn't the best idea.
Verdict: Great for everyday use in chilly weather. Might be too warm for high-intensity activities.
After a month of daily use, the beanie became a regular part of my wardrobe. I started experimenting with different ways to wear it. I could pull it down over my ears for extra warmth or wear it higher up for a more casual look.
