The " Boundary" beanie by Columbia is a fantastic hat for those who like a bit of extra protection in snowy conditions. The curved visor helps keeps snowflakes or sleet or rain off & this is particularly useful for those who wear glasses. The Boundary looks cool too. This hat is really snug with an 85% acrylic/15% wool yarn mix for superb warmth & durability. This is a hat you'll just love to wear.
