I'm after a new beanie hat and fancy one of the merino / posum hats from chocolate fish merino but I'm not sure if they are worth the premium.
As well as wearing my hat when I'm out and about I also wear it when I'm diving (well, on the surface between dives although I have nearly jumped in wearing it...) and as a result of this it usually spends all day being soaked in seawater. I currently have a normal acrylic beanie hat (£2.50) which works well but has seen better days. Is a merino hat going to give me any advantage under these conditions? The only merino clothing I have got are my seal skinz gloves which are nice but I don't think I'd want their hat as it seems quite stiff.
Thanks
