Top Rated (Special Mention): Artilect Darkhorse Skully Beanie
Category: Headwear for Dynamic Activities (3 Season / Baselayer Beanie)
Ideal for cold spring and autumnal conditions as active headwear under a cap, beanies like Artilect's Skully are comfortable to sleep in and function well for static use on cool summer nights. In addition they can also serve a role in sub-zero conditions, to layer under more serious thermal options. The Skully is suitable for high octane winter sports such as ski-touring, snow boarding etc ... and so is designed to function rather like a winter baselayer for the head: wicking moisture while providing a little thermal regulation along the way. Artilect's Skully is silky smooth, non-itchy, comfortable, breathes well, dries quickly and unlike many of the woolen versions we've tested, doesn't lose its stretch / form. Weighing in at just 26g, it takes up hardly any pack space and is one of those items that's hard to rationalise not packing.
