I have an acrylic + Thinsulate 'beanie' hat that i bought for £5 from an outdoor clothing fair in a village hall near Barnard Castle or Kirby Stephen in the mid '90s. The insulation feels quite substantial and there is knitted acrylic inside and out. The 'overlap' of 'brim' material is quite generous.
It is the best such hat that I've had.
Unfortunately, last winter the insulation had begun disintegrating so there are cold spots and. It's also a bit mis-shapen so it's time to replace it.
More recent hats that I've been given have been much lighter, with "40g Thinsulate" labels. The old hat is noticeably warmer and more wind-proof than any of them when climbing a mountain or standing around.
Any suggestions for a good, simple replacement?
Thanks.
