MUD\WTR Beanie

The alpaca-blend mix makes this noticeably warmer than my old cotton beanies, and the recycled polyester keeps it from getting scratchy even after a full day. Wore it for a freezing morning walk and my ears stayed perfectly toasty the whole time.

I was skeptical about a beanie made with recycled polyester, but it's actually the perfect balance of warmth and breathability. The alpaca blend keeps my ears toasty on cold commutes without overheating indoors, and the knit has a nice, substantial feel that holds its shape.

The wool-alpaca blend is noticeably softer and warmer than my old acrylic-only hats, and the recycled polyester content makes it feel like a more thoughtful purchase. I've worn it on freezing morning walks and my ears stay toasty without any itch.
