Description

The Down Beanie is a winter hat made by Black Rock Gear. It has an average rating of 5 stars (out of 5), based on 5 user reviews.

Manufacturer's Description:
The ultimate in technology for your head. The Black Rock Hat is made with ultralight ripstop fabric, 900 fill Canadian grey goose down, and lined with soft wicking Dryline so it molds to your head and stays comfortably in place. It is designed for hiking, rock climbing and backpacking but is comfortable enough to wear around town. This is the hat if weight and warmth matter. It weighs less than one ounce and compresses small enough to fit in a jean pocket so you can take it anywhere. It may be lighter than a single carabiner, but it is tough enough to handle any adventure.

Fabric: Momentum 90 (0.9 oz Ultralite Ripstop)
Insulation: 900 Fill Power Canadian Grey Goose Down
Liner: Dryline
Thread: Gutterman 100% polyester
Weight: Less than 1 oz

"I was highly skeptical of the idea of a down hat when I heard of Black Rock Gear. I figured when I was climbing hard and sweating I'd be putting my hat on at belays or whatever and it would wet out and turn into mush on my noggin. Light is right is great, so why not use primaloft? Then Evan happened to leave one in my car after a climbing trip and I started wearing it around a bit."

"This hat is an integral part of my hiking/camping gear collection now. I used it this past weekend in the Grandfather Mtn District area (NC). Hard to believe a quality hat can make that much difference. 28^ temps with an unknown wind-chill factor really put it to the test. I'm really impressed. Evan at Black Rock really knows what he's doing. Kudos!"

"This hat is SWEEET! I wore this hat on a recent trip to the Inca Trail in Peru. It didn't get extremely cold but it was great having this hat to sleep in at night. Everyone that saw it was extremely impressed and was like "wow, is that a down hat"."

"This hat has rafted the Grand Canyon, worked two week shifts at wilderness therapy, gone to Indian Creek to climb and the Brewery right after. It's been snowed on, rained on, sat on (I've actually lost it in my pocket a few times, ends of getting so compressed that you can't even feel it) and worn to 0 degrees Fahrenheit."

"The only hat I carry around now! I got the hat as a gift and I was originally skeptical of how well it would work (I mean come on, it's only a hat). I have taken it out climbing this winter several times, and it definitely gets the job done. I was amazed that I could either wear a fleece jacket on a route (restricting movement), or just wear the hat."
