Well-sized, well-made, nearly perfect
I own two of these and removed from both the stitch that holds the fold over in place so I could acheive a low-profile (skullcap) fit. My head is on the small end of medium. The stitch is hard to isolate, so removing it is risky. It's too bad because I think that the size is just right to be adjusted for various fits on most head sizes; for my preferred fit, I wish the hat was anywhere up to an inch shorter (I wish beanies were sold in small, medium, and large, but very few brands do that). Great fabric - nice tight weave that doesn't seem like it will pill easily.

wearing it all the time now, it's a new thing
good quality, wearing it inside and outside. It's a new thing we are doing, my son and I. Wearing beanies and t-shrits all the time. Getting my wife on board is hard thou, maybe I will order her one too so she does not feel left out. Keeps the ole block not too hot yet warm.. it's a keeper.. as stylish as it is not sure how long my wife will tolerate our "new thing" wearing a hat inside!

Very warm block heater
High quality piece of kit and does a great job of blocking the freezing winds of Alberta winter. I have a 58cm circumference noodle and it is a good snug fit to the top of my ears, so the one size fits all description I would challenge.

Beanie ...........................................
Its a beanie... and I do love beanies!!! Not sure why they choose to put the label right next to the seam? I like to wear my beanies with the seam at the back so ideally the label should be off the front. It's comfy, great quality but I wouldn't expect anything less for the price!

Best one so far
I've had a few wooly hats over the years but this is the best so far. Hasn't bobbled or stretched out over a five month period and just looks neat with minimal branding. Nice1 Rapha.

not 100% wool
says it's 100% wool. Not the case obviously since it clearly has elastic etc. Truth please. Not a bad beanie. Tried to buy a second but company seems unable to deliver

Ok but needs an update
Decent cap but would be nice to have a fleece lined headband so it doesn’t leave the striped indentations on your forehead when you take off

A bit small
Is a bit small for my husbands head. As one size I would say is definitely on the smaller size. Material very nice

A well made and stylish toque, eh?
Comfortable, warm but not too hot, fits well, looks good pre or post ride as well as with street clothes.

New favourite
Lovely fit, nice size (not too small that it sits on top of your head as some of the beanies do nowerdays). Comfy, warm and breathable. Certainly now travels with me for work or play.
Maroon colour is as pictured.
Previous reviews complain about the static thing and centred join but I have not found this an issue or even noticeable at all.

Great Beanie!
What a great beanie! Soft, warm, stylin', what more do you want? Living in a country where -15c to -20c are common winter temps, a warm winter hat is essential. I've worn this down to -10c so far with no issues. A tighter knit would make it a bit better at blocking wind, but overall it's really quite good.

Looks good, keeps one's head warm.
Keeps my large head warm. It's well made. Not too long as some beanie's can be. More of a skull cap (or is it just that my head is too big and round?) If it fits my noggin, it's sure to accommodate everyone else's comfortably. Does the job and it looks schweet.

quality beanie
the material is comfortable, keeps head warm and seems to breath well. gf tells me the knitting pattern at the top is quality so I'll list that as a pro. It's stylish and non-descript, bit pricier than most but I'm very pleased with it.

Warm and toasty on colder winter mornings
Great Beanie from Rapha - perfect for cold days. This is an excellent Beanie when the weather drops down into single digits. The fit is great and it has quickly become one of my favourite beanies when it is cold and miserable.

Loverly winter hat for off-the-bike use
My best winter hat ever. The merino avoids the scratchy feeling of most hats I have bought in the past, and the ribbed look makes it very stylish. I bought it in grey but may buy it in green also if it is still available.

New version has fold sewed in
Updated from my old charcoal beanie. Warm and comfy, however only annoying part is that the fold is sewed in place! Very annoying, so not great for anyone with an afro or bun on their head as it won't cover your ears.

Nice fabric, snug fit
Nice soft fabric, slightly smaller than other beanies I've had so may not suit people with a larger head.
Disappointingly mine had a small pull in the fabric but isn't too noticeable and I got it on sale.

A wardrobe staple
This is brilliant. Yes, slightly more expensive than you can get elsewhere but the quality and fit are perfect for me - even though I have a slightly oversized head. Love it. Will buy another I reckon.

Beautiful hawthorn color
This hat is the delight of my eldest son who is a gardener and who is often outdoors and in all seasons.
It is in addition to a beautiful hawthorn color that changes colors verging on khaki.

Underwhelming
Functional but not as premium as I would expect from Rapha. Not very thick so does not provide high level of warmth. Also small in size so some may find does not cover your head adequately.

Ideal winter hat.
I use it on winter days as a beanie below my helmet. I don't recommend wearing this as a casual hat of anythinh. It's really made for cycling. Never too sweaty and easy to maintain.

Perfect beanie
A long time Rapha fan I snatched this one as soon as it launched. Have been wearing it for the past month as the Dutch fall sneaks in. Stylish, warm and easy to adjust. Love it.

There is always a first time
I have this beanie in all colors but the black one the merino feels different and also had a hole in it, poor quality control. First time I am extremely disappointed with Rapha.

Just a standard hat
Not much to say it's just a standard ribbed hat. My hat had the logo stitched on the back, I contacted Rapha who issued a refund. Couldn't order another they were all sold out.

Humdinger !.
Pleasantly surprised, it's relatively light and thin compared to most woolen beanies yet keeps my head nice and warm without overheating it. Must be the superior merino.

Baldy and a Beanie.. perfect!
My winter has been perfect, lightweight and very cosy... especially when you have little hair like I do. The logo is really subtle, and the beanie fits really well.
