Love this beanie. I have my hair in a ponytail probably 90% of the time, so I was excited to find these. I bought one in violet specifically for my two week trip to Iceland and wore it pretty much every day. It was perfect for keeping my head warm and my hair out of my face when it got windy and rainy. I have since purchased in two more colors, and received another one as a gift. I'm on my way to owning them all, lol.
