I purchased the Oiselle Lux Beanie in May 2017, and six years later this silky smooth beanie is still going strong.
.
It’s great for wearing alone and also for layering under a thicker beanie in the coldest weather, like the wool-blend Patagonia Brodeo (reviewed below).
.
✅Pros:
❌Cons:
Southwestern Pennsylvania has lots of days with temperatures ranging from 30 to 60 degrees which calls for a beanie that’s not too thick or sweat-inducing.
.
The Outdoor Research Alpine Onset Merino 150 Beanie provides the perfect amount of light warmth and breathability.
.
Personally, I like a loose, relaxed fit on my head, so I bought this in a size L/XL to avoid the feeling of a vice grip around my temples.
.
As a bonus...
✅Pros:
Turtle Fur offers many types of hats for men, women and children at an affordable price.
.
They are some of my favorite hats for their basic simplicity.
.
The Brain Shroud Skull Cap is best for cool 50-degree Fahrenheit days when running easy and 40-degree days when running hard or racing and perfect for stashing in a pack.
.
✅Pros:
.
My husband gifted me the Patagonia Brodeo Beanie a few Christmases ago.
.
I use it for daily life and the coldest runs, in single-digits and below zero degrees Fahrenheit.
.
✅Pros:
❌Cons:
The neon yellow color was an instant selling point, plus I needed a midweight beanie, not a skull cup and not something as warm as the Brodeo.
.
This one is just right, providing a medium amount of warmth with plenty of ventilation for those 30 to 40-degree Fahrenheit days.
.
Again, I got this at the local outfitters at a discount for just $17.50 (normal price is $25).
.
✅Pros:
❌Cons:
This is another basic hat to keep in the quiver. I use it for long runs in the cold, temperatures ranging from about 20 to mid-30 degrees Fahrenheit.
.
✅Pros:
.
This hat gets lots of compliments at the trailhead, and it lives up to its first impression.
.
For protection from pelting rain, snow and wintry mixes in 30 to 40-degree Fahrenheit runs, the Brooks Shield Hybrid Hat 2.0 is the perfect choice.
.
✅Pros:
The Trailheads Trailblazer Ponytail Hat is warmer than the Brooks Shield Hybrid Hat 2.0.
.
It's the running hat I pick for very cold, snowy days, in temperatures ranging from the single digits to 20 degrees Fahrenheit.
.
✅Pros:
❌Cons:
.
The trails where I live and run most often are open to hunting.
.
And between October and December, those trails are infiltrated with hunters, making blaze orange a necessary color in my running wardrobe.
.
The Blaze Orange Beanie is an easy, affordable hat for 20 to 40 degrees.
.
Because it only covers half the ears, I put one of my skull caps or liners underneath in the coldest weather when blaze orange is necessary.
.
✅Pros:
❌Cons:
