Most beanie hats are either too thick or too thin and are designed to be pulled over the ears. The Mountain Junky beanie hat is a genuine beanie fit which sits just above the ears. Its extremely warm but not too warm. Its very comfortable in fact, you can almost forget you are wearing it. As it fits slightly above the ear it can be worn under a helmet without being visible. This ideal for those wearing military or para -military helmets when dress codes apply.
