I read about the Micro Dome in Bicycling magazine and thought I would give it a try. Mountain Gear had the best price and I ordered it from them. I wanted a head cover to wear for colder weather bike rides, and have found that keeping my head covered is most important. Down to about 35F, my thin polyester head cover works OK. Below 35F I tend to get cold. The Micro Dome does a great job of keeping me warm and pretty much stopping any wind penetration. For me it is too warm at temps much higher, but many might find it perfect up into the 40's. I have a large head size. The Micro Dome almost covers my ears, but not quite. I would prefer it to be a bit larger, but it's better than other covers I have tried. Overall, I judge the Micro Dome to be an excellent product and well worth the money I paid. Wish I had some for my feet!

I have bought this same hat 3 times and expect to buy another shortly (sadly I seem to have trouble holding onto hats). I live in northern VT & use it regularly for skiing, hiking, etc. in mild weather as well fridged winds & sub-zero temps. And I'm not alone. I have noticed this hat has turned up in many photos in serious outdoor publications [...].Unfortunately, the hat has an odd shape - it is just a little too tall for it's diameter. While it fits fine around my head, it stands up kind of high. When this bothers me I just roll up the bottom of the hat a little and I'm content. But it's light, windproof and warm. My choice for ultralight packing as well as general wear.

I'm so sorry that it doesn't fit my son as it was exactly what he wanted. I will return this week with regrets. He was going to use it for his Army Ranger School training - it would have been perfect. Thanks anyway.
A note on micro domes: advise not placing in dryers. They shrink and lose tightness resulting in ride-up, etc. May want to handwash (and with an Earth-friendly detergent, please).

Versatile warm hat. The seperate fleece and Windstopper liner make it fit better and perform better than laminated fleece. The Windstopper ear patches protect your ears, but can block your hearing, but this can be overcome by rotating the hat.

light but warm, it protect my head against chili winds. I also sleep with this ''dome'' and is very soft and confortable.

It's a straight forward combination of PolarTec lining with a Windstopper outer fabric. That's exactly what I was looking for and it's what I got! Great fit, though the way it's sewn creates a bulky look on top of your nugget! A good purchase for a warm, all-use, wind-proof, medium insulating hat.
from Foothills of the Carolina's on 2/1/2006
If it's cold outside, I have this thing on. Even if there is no wind, it keeps my head nice and toasty. And when there is wind, well, the top of my head couldn't tell you. You can't feel the wind but you can feel the heat staying inside. It also stays nice and tight around my big ol head.
Only down side is until I get it stretched out some, it tends to ride up exposing my ear lobes.
