Warm & Fuzzy

Rating:****

This is one of the warmest, most comfortable, & cute beanies I've owned. The inside of the beanie is fleece lined around the ears (no itching!!) & adds quite a bit of warmth. My only complaint is that after washing, some of the weave started to pull out. (Of course, I threw it in my washing machine, which is probably not appropriate). I can also say that my dog loved it, too, & now I have to buy a new one for next season.

Hellishly warm

Rating:****

Yes, it is rather warm with a nice kind medium duty fleece lining inside to protect me from feeling like I have lice in my hair while wearing a beanie due to inherent itchiness. This hat is not itchy, it is sexy. If anything keeps it from 5 stars it would have to be that its construction is a a little weak, it snags and has some troubles with durability. Other than that, a gem.

This hat might save your life too.

This hat saved my life at Christmas. I was about to die from frostbite in my grandparents' spare room. Once I put this on, not only did I warm up, but I was able to fall asleep because of the hat's warmth...and my North Face gloves. This hat really looks great with all of my North Face coats and isn't itchy thanks to the fleece lining around the bottom.

Cozy and colorful

Rating:****
I bought the Bali Blue and Port Purple for my teenaged daughters. My college aged daughter loved the Bali Blue and the fit was perfect--she said it covered her ears and wasn't itchy. It was hard to decide which color I liked best-the white and turquoise contrast is nice, but the three shades of maroon, magenta, and dark wine of the other make a nice statement too.

i love this hat, because the colors are so clean and bright, it brightens up your winter! i have had a lot of compliments. it seems to be a longer hat, so i just leave some room between the top of my head and the hat and it looks pretty cute! it is warm and thick and has become a favorite of mine!

Cute and warm.

This is a really cute, thick hat. My daughter gets compliments on it almost every time she wears it. The fleece band around the edge is great for keeping ears warm and itch to a minimum. The only problem I have with it is it pills easily.

Love this hat!

The polar beanie cannot be beat for a warm, soft and super fitting hat. I have 3 colors of it! My teenage daughter stole one of mine, and she's a tough customer to please when it comes to hats! This one is so worth the cost!

Warm, comfy and in-style!

I love this hat -- I bought the purple one! It matches perfectly with my North Face Denali Jacket (eventhough the jacket is from a couple years ago). The fleece rim on the inside keeps my ears super warm, even when it's really windy outside.

I love Northface!

Rating:*****
This is the warmest hat ever. Plus it is really good looking and matched one of my north face jackets to the tee. Once again north face comes through with a great product! The fleece lining is sooo comfortable.

Love it in the green/blue color!

The beanie looks and feels great! It has the fleece rim around the inside of the hat to eliminate itch! My daughter even wears it to the dinner table. She won't take it off except to shower!

This hat is very cute and warm, but the one that i got is big. I got my sister a different North Face hat and hers was a lot smaller. Luckily it is cute and warm enough that i will continue wearing it!

Itchy Cuteness

Rating:***
Very cute but fits really snug, and the wool is a little itchy as your head gets warm. But, as they say, it's better to look good than to feel good. And you'll look good in this hat.
