The quality is good, but the size doesn't match the photo. It would fit a small head—a child or a teenager. The manufacturer might be saving on material this way. Also it might shrink further after washing so you need to hand-wash it in cold water and dry it properly.

Great hat, I wear it every day in winter. It is very comfortable, warm, and doesn’t irritate the skin. I haven’t washed it yet, so I don’t know how the material will behave after washing. I highly recommend it.
-
I haven't had the chance to try it during strong wind or heavy frost, but generally it provides warmth. Unfortunately, it is much too short and therefore easily slips off the ears, which is very irritating.
-
The hat is nice and warm, but after the first wash it shrank a lot. Fortunately, I have a small head, so I can still use it. Despite these flaws, I recommend it, especially if it’s on sale.
-
The product matches the description. The hat is comfortable, well-made, lightweight, and pleasant to the touch. It is made of 100% merino wool, which gives it the distinctive features of this material. It keeps your head warm. It is not very thick, so during severe frosts it may not be sufficient, but I have not tested that yet. The size is medium, so it will not be suitable for every head. I recommend it, it should last for several seasons.

I have this hat in different colours and it has accompanied me through several winters. It is very warm, effectively protects against the wind, and even after sweating, you don't feel cold on your head. Merino wool works perfectly.
-
Great hat, perfect for cold, frosty days. Made from sturdy material. Super fast delivery. I recommend it to everyone who needs a solid hat for winter.
-
Merino wool is a reliable and natural material that works perfectly as head protection – it keeps warmth very well. Thanks to its unique properties, it is perfect for me: lightness goes hand in hand with excellent insulation. It effectively protects against the cold. I definitely recommend it.
-
The hat works great during frosty walks with the dog. It's lightweight, fits well under the hood of a down jacket, and effectively protects the head from the cold, while being almost unnoticeable. I highly recommend it!
-
Actually, it's a great hat. The material is excellent and very comfortable to wear. Unfortunately, the hat is also too short for me. I don't have a big head, but after a short time my ears stick out at the bottom.
-
Ultra lightweight and very comfortable to wear... Once again, excellent value for money from my favourite brand... Well done Helikon Tex and a big thank you to the whole team at Military, really top-notch...
-
Solid, well-made hat. I disagree with the opinions that it's small – even though I have a bigger head, it fits perfectly. If you want a natural, warm product, choose wool.
-
Merino wool is a reliable, natural material that keeps your head warm very well. The grey colour is very universal. Thanks to its advantages, this hat is ideal for me – both light and warm at the same time. It insulates well from the cold outside. I recommend it to others.
-
The hat is perfect for chilly days. Very warm, comfortable, and light. Carefully made, with a discreet logo. Like every Helikon product – simply outstanding. It fits the head perfectly and protects the head and ears well from the wind. Pleasant to the touch, easy to put on, and nothing causes discomfort. I recommend it, especially since the price is attractive.
-
Great hat, well sewn from Merino wool, works for around zero degrees during calm activities or on the move in moderate frosts. If it’s very cold and windy, it’s better to reach for a thicker version.
