What Is the Best Material for a Winter Hat?

Not all winter hats are created equal. While they serve similar purposes, winter hats are made from a variety of materials to fit different looks and lifestyles. The best winter hat materials depend on the activities you’ll be pursuing.

For instance, winter beanies are made with a blend of merino wool and acrylic, and are perfect for a more casual look. This versatile style provides style and warmth for a lunch with friends or a skiing trip. On the other hand, a sub-zero day snowshoeing may require performance fabric and a fleece-lined interior for insulation. With so many options to choose from, it’s easy to find the right fit.

Are Winter Hats Waterproof?

Winter hats can be waterproof if made with the right materials. Sunday Afternoons offers a wide selection of men’s winter hats and women’s winter hats created with weather-resistant fabric that repels snow and rain. Stay dry during winter showers and face any adventure with water repellent hats.

Will a Winter Hat Stay on My Head?

Yes, a winter hat from Sunday Afternoons will stay on your head no matter the outdoor activity. Many of our hats feature adjustable sizing options, so you can have a comfortably snug fit. Although most knit winter hats are one size, don't worry about them slipping off. Their fitted crown and stretchy design will prevent beanies from flying. Whether you’re going skiing or on a run, your knit hat will stay put.

Do Winter Hats Cover Your Ears?

A winter hat with earflaps protects your ears and cheeks on chilly winter days. Several styles feature fold-away earflaps, so you can move them out of the way during milder weather conditions.
