My wife bought this for me. I see the model wearing it is a chick, so now she is buying me women's clothing! But I am man enough to wear it and like it. The feel-touch is great and very comfortable. For non-aerobic activities above 30 deg. F. it is comfortable, doesn't let in much wind, stays on, and fits well with eyeglasses. I have owned two similar alpaca hats and this one is by far the best. My head size is about 7 1/4 ", so if you have a large head or huge afro it may not fit. Well worth the price.
