Re: Layering 102 I thought I knew what was going on...

First Post - Quick Observation:

I have been forced to buy a Wool knit watch-cap (in the Army). I have used it several mornings during freezing weather for PT with great results. It replaced my fleece skull cap. I also have a smart-wool skull cap. This past weekend after a 2 day hiking trip with overnight temps nearing 32F, I decided to ditch the "cool" fabrics for my wool knit cap and I was extremely please. True - if it gets wet it will be a little uncomfortable compared to the fleece, moisture wicking, or smart-wool materials - but if you aren't getting soaked, it is my #1 choice.

Its also worth mentioning that its about a quarter of the cost of a similar Smart-Wool cap, or half the cost of a cheep fleece cap. I paid $5 for mine.
