I bought two of them; one for my wife and the other one for me. Until now used them only once when I took my wife on a day hike over snowfields in the the mountains of Idaho. It's a great product and kept us warm. I think the protection it's provide is not enought if you are in extreme cold weather like hiking or ice climbing by -30 but otherwise it's a good product but when the weather warms up it will make you feel too warm. Does give you a cony head but I don't really care what I look like with it (I don't wear it for casual). It does diminish the sounds around you and make it harder to have a conversation if the party is spread out but still let me hear the birds and snow machines around me.

This hat ROCKS!!

This hat is AWESOME. Very versitile. Ear flaps easily fold up if not needed, and it still looks good. VERY warm. I normally wear a large in clothing generally. I tried on a freinds large beforehand though so I knew I needed a medium. I would say it is sized about a half size larger than other stuff.

Warm Head!

I have fine hair cut very short, balding on the crown of my old head. This cap fits great. Very warm, ear flaps can be folded up for hearing and venting. Packs tight for pocket storage.

Nice and toasty

By Fresh Fruit from Portland, OR on 3/31/2007

Sizing:

Feels half size too big

Pros:

Warm, Windproof

Best Uses:

Cold and windy conditions

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This hat can't be beat for cold and windy weather. Although the sizing is a bit funky; the medium was too small and the large is a tad big. So try it on before you order it. Additionally this beanie (and other windstopper hats) muffle sound making it hard to communicate sometimes. But I will take that any day over having a cold head.

Great Cold Weather Hat

I have had one of these hats for two years and my wife borrowed it and had to have one. This hat is perfect to always have in our windy section of Montana. I can carry it my pocket or pack and i fits nicely under the parka hood and even blocks the wind on its own. Great hat.

Sizing:

Feels true to size

Pros:

Durable, Lightweight, Stylish, Warm

Best Uses:

Camping or Hiking, Extreme Conditions

The Dome hat is the perfect piece of head gear for both moderate and extreme cold condtions. The form-fitting design is so insulating that it often makes hearing difficult. That's how warm it is!

Great Buy

Just a tad on the large size. Not enough to size down but it is a little snug under the helmet.

Great Winter Protection

By Marc Adamus

from Corvallis, OR. on 9/19/2006

Pros:

Durable, Warm

Best Uses:

Camping or Hiking, Extreme Conditions

This must be the best Winter hat I've owned for sheer protection from the elements. Thick fleece, a wind liner and full coverage ear-band make this a great choice for skiing, mountaineering, and cold weather adventuring outdoors. My only complaint? Design. It's not the most aesthetic hat due to an unusually large crest atop the back of the hat. I don't know if they designed this thing for people with very bulky hair styles or what, but even with the hat pulled completely over my ears (and I have a big head), there's still significant room up top. That said, it's really a minor point and the hat offers otherwise excellent performance.

Don't judge a book by its cover

By J. "I don't get out enough" P.

from Worcester, MA on 2/16/2006

Pros:

Durable, High Quality, Warm

Cons:

Look like a cone head

Best Uses:

Winter mountaineering, outdoor drinking

Aside from looking somewhat like a spin-off of the Coneheads, there's nothing negative I can say about the Dome Perignon. The Windstopper with fleece liner is a very warm, comfortable hat. A little bulky to wear under a helmet, but for bopping around the backcountry I give it two thumbs up.

the hat of all hats

By TONY THE TRUTH

from NYC on 2/14/2006

Pros:

Durable, Good Value, High Quality, snug fit warm and well made

Best Uses:

cold winter days

we just had a nor'easter in new york,and this hat kept me warm and ready for long hours of shoveling!!

Warm and Big

By Flyin' Low-Climbin' High

from Cambridge, UK on 2/9/2006

Pros:

Compressible, Warm

Best Uses:

Alpine/Winter Adventures

[...] The only downside is mine is bright blue, but otherwise it's a great hat! It's thick, soft, comfortable, and best of all it's warm. Certainly a hat for chilly days in base camp or for any other occasion you really want to stay warm. It contains more insulating material than other simple wind-stopper hats.
