Bought a 260 version 3 years ago now, and still loving it!
Wear it as a toque all the time, both in the NWT and now Manitoba, both known for their bitter cold. Get a variety of comments on it, some laugh at the look, others think the design is great.
Love how the ear flaps tuck under the lobe and stay put when engaging in vigorous activity, unlike many toques that tend to ride up on the head and expose the lobe to the elements.
Soft, warm, and lite, but not very wind proof due to the relatively thin material. Pop a hood over it and you're good to go in any conditions.
Great price compared to other merino hats on the market, even at regular price, the sale price knocks it out of the park!
