Mountain Hardwear Men's Dome Perignon Beanie

Excellent warm hat
April 06, 2012

This hat is very warm, comfortable, and covers the ears. Great for windy days. I generally enjoy Mountain Hard Wear's products, and this is no exception.

Great windproof beanie
March 16, 2012

I first tried the Columbia Men's Fast Trek Fleece Hat and it was super UNcomfortable and squeezing my head, even though I ordered the Large size. Then I ordered the Outdoor Research Wind Pro Hat and fell in love with it (I still highly recommend it). Then, I decided to try the Mountain Hardwear Dome Perignon Beanie. Smart move. It is very warm, very comfortable, and looks nice. Mountain Hardwear nailed it with this one. My only issues with it are 1) it sometimes starts rising up and looks like a conehead and 2) when I squeeze it and put it in my pocket it is a little bulky.

Warmest winter hats we've ever had
March 11, 2012

We got these in two sizes for our different size heads. It definitely blocks wind well (and muffles sound somewhat). No more annoying cold ear aches - which is a big deal, something many other hats have not achieved. Worth the money!

One Size does not fit all!
February 23, 2012

I was delighted that the DP Beanie came in three sizes because my large melon requires huge hats. I typically shun beanies because they never run big enough. I wear a size 8 Stormy K cap usually. This size XL Beanie fits! Great fit and quality, comfy materials, warm and cleverly designed. the closer was it was on sale! Lucky me! If I would suggest one change, reduce the stitched artwork on the front of the hat to just the hex nut. But that's it for cons.

Best Beanie I have owned!!!
February 17, 2012

I used this beanie on a 12 day camping/float trip this fall in remote Central Alaska. Wore the beanie most of the day and then slept in it inside my mummy sleeping bag. I probably wore it at least 18 hours each day for 12 days. It is very warm and the the wind doesn't penetrate it. Even after 12 days in the bush with no shower the beanie was still very comfortable to wear. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beanie.

Usefull lid
February 17, 2012

Good design allowing the hat not to be real low on your forehead while still covering your ears. Only reason I didn't give it a full 5 stars is the hat fit is a little off. I normally wear a large but this hat in large is a little loose with a puff on top. I know a medium would be too tight. Weird.

Changed a bit, still allllll good
February 06, 2012

It's been mild here so haven't really gotten to try the hat out. I had the 2009 model before...this 2012 model is a little lower on the ears so it's even warmer. Definitely blocks the wind. Love it!

Nice head cover for cold days.
January 30, 2012

Glad it came in sizes. Needed that large. Fits nice and covers the ears. Warms better than a plain skull cap and the material should last longer and keep its shape.

GREAT DOME
January 28, 2012

The best winter hat i have ever owned.No more cold ears.Really blocks the wind.Great fabric and great color in sapphire choice.If you have a normal sized melon get the medium.

Comfy, warm lid
January 24, 2012

Feels really good on the head - really good. The soft, almost cuddly, ear flaps do reduce the sound levels somewhat but that's to be expected. Seems to be well made. Looks sharp. The curve along the bottom allows the beanie to be above the eyebrows, fully cover the ears and still be comfy and stable on the head. For you gram counters, my size L is 68 grams without the care tags.

Large Head
January 16, 2012

It is impossible for me to ever find a hat to fit my big head. Ordered the XL. Fits great and I look awsome. Hat feels like good quality, and its easy to use. No instructions though.

January 08, 2012

Took this cap to Canada the first week I had it. Kept me warm in single digit temperatures. Would have been much colder with my old standard stocking cap.

Windstopper
January 01, 2012

Bought this to replace my fleece on windy cold days in the Sierra Nevadas. Perfect choice! Ears are warm, wind stopped and toasty warm noggin. Love this hat.

Great Beanie
December 22, 2011

This is a lightweight and warm beanie. The design allows you to cover more of the back of your neck than conventional designed beanies. The liner does a good job of blocking wind. My head circumference is 22 5/8 and I got a medium. It does not feel as snug as other beanies I have due to the stretch panel and is cut with more volume in the top probably so it can be pulled down further in the back. On my melon, a small would probably fit more like a skull cap but I am happy with the comfort & performance of this size.

This Hat Rocks!
November 23, 2011

Keeps my head warm and dry! And the fit is snug, but comfortable. I've been out in weather with wind chills down to 20 degrees and it was perfect. As the day warms up, off it goes. Another Great product from Mountain Hardwear!!

After repeated episodes of neck muscle pain after exposure to the combination of wind, cold and sweat I've been listening carefully to the advice of experts to: "Keep the neck warm and protected!" The design of the Dome Perignon hat provides this essential protection and even covers the lower neck within a few inches of the shoulders. I find the fleece technology to be much warmer with greater breathe-ability, comfort and consistent fit over other beanie style hats I've worn. Design and build quality features a liner, fabric with unique textures that contribute to superior styling as well as heavy duty inner stitching. Color options and even the logo are cool. Sound insulation is about the same as other beanies and sizing was true. This is an outstanding product that delivers on all fronts.

Windproof and Warm for me.
August 28, 2011

I use it to travel to base camp of Everest on China, it is warm and fit for me because we have a big head. The wind-stopper blocks the cool wind on the mountain over 5,000 meters and help me to see the sunrise of Everest.

the hat is really good!
August 13, 2011

the hat is really good! i very like it, it is so warm & comfortable. a lot of people of our term like it!! it is larger than the average size ,so i choice M size.

Warm winter hat
July 29, 2011

I have used this hat on cold weather camping trips, skiing, hiking and when shoveling snow. It is does a great job retaining body heat in very cold weather. It provides great coverage of your head, neck, and ears. It comes in a great variety of colors and it looks good. I highly recommend it this hat.

Perfect for Cold!
July 01, 2011

Bought this hat for the cold mornings at high elevation, when waiting for the sun to warm everything up! It fits tight, which is what I wanted. Find that if there is too much space between you and hat contact to head, the cold creeps in! I am a small person, so size accordingly. Well made, washes easily. It is not too compact, but worth its wt. for the warmth it delivers. Take it along!

Winter is getting colder and colder every year everywhere around. If you really need heavy but confortable proteccion for your head in winter time this is the winter had you must have. The panels of windstopper microfleece really do their job blocking freezing wind. The polartec thermal gives strong proteccion specially to the ears which where most of the winter hats fail to protect. At first sight it may look heavy but when you wear the Dome Perignon instead you feel a small amount of weight over your head that provides the best preteccion for your head. You don't have to think twice this hat is a winner buy at any time of the year so you know you will be ready fir the next winter.

Great weather hat
May 17, 2011

The dome perignon hat is great for many interesting weather excursions. This hat blocks wind really well, and is perfect for skiing. I found the hat also works well in Colorado's typical shorter term rainfall events, and drys out good. I have several of these, and have given many as presents. This is the one hat I always have in my pack.

Don't buy for climbing
April 26, 2011

I am going to be one of a few negative reviews for this product. As usual with MH the quality is second to none. It also keeps you warm and is relatively lightweight for the amount of protection it provides. Two things bothered me about this hat. Windstopper fabric is blocks all sound from reaching your ears. This was bothersome for hiking and skiing. Could be very dangerous for rock/ice climbing (you cannot hear your partner's commands). Sizing was also a little funky, loose around the ears and tight on top...maybe I just have a weird shaped head but I have never encountered this with any other hat. Bottom line, the sound isolation is a deal breaker.

Excellent Choice
April 11, 2011

I bought this for hiking in winter in the Shenandoah and Monangahela areas on the East coast. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. It keeps your ears warm, and out on cold trails that is a good thing. I would buy this again.

Great Hat
March 15, 2011

I bought this hat one size up and it fits great - I like my winter hats a little loose. Warm and comfortable. This is a great winter hat, highly recommended.

Windproof; Great comfort
March 10, 2011

It was interesting to see that these were the primary hats worn by the participants in both seasons of Discovery's Alaska Experiment. Yes, they had other hats, but it seems that every participant at least had one of these at their disposal and often used it as their primary hat. I've used it on windy, cold days in the Montana winter and find it to be really quite comfortable. I really don't think it's warm enough by itself once it hits the teens unless you are doing something active. And, of course, similar to other hats that use Windstopper, it does block some sound. Still, it's easily on par if not just a little bit more comfortable than OR's shaped Windstopper hat. It's hard not to recommend.

This is it.
March 10, 2011

This is the hat you've been looking for. I work outside in northern Illinois in the winter, and also go skiing in the midwest as well as in the rockies. I have bought a lot of hats over the years, and this is the best one I've ever tried. Does a good job of stopping the wind, has good coverage, and good insulation. I'll be getting a 2nd one in another color for next year.

Dome Perignon Hat
February 23, 2011

THIS IS MY SECOND PERIGON HAT. LOVE THIS HAT. NICE AND WARM. GREAT QUALITY. DESIGN IS EXCELLENT. I'M A AVID HUNTER. SO IN THE -20 DEGREE WEATHER WE HAD THIS YEAR. IT DID THE JOB@@!!

Fantastic Warmth
February 21, 2011

I purchased this hat for my husband who works outdoors in New England winters. He always has trouble finding winter hats that fit his head. This hat is wonderful , not only does the Large fit great but the hat has wind stopper fleece. My husband says it's his favorite hat that it really works great on the windy cold days. I purchased him a second hat just in case he misplaces the first since this is the first hat we found that fits great and keeps him very warm.

Fits great when other hats were too snug
February 18, 2011

I often find many hats feel too snug on my noggin, so I ordered this one in size large and it is plenty big. Plus I like a little extra room to stuff in my long curly hair, and the dome shape to this hat allows that no problem. The hat is very warm, covers my ears completely, great for winter morning runs.

Great hat for winter exercising!
February 09, 2011

I gave this hat to my father for Christmas knowing he is very particular and a very hard size to fit. I am happy to say that the large size fit his huge head perfectly! He wears this hat to run in every day in our terribly cold and windy Maryland winter weather. The hat covers his ears perfectly and shapes around his head in a perfect fit. He feels stylish but not self-conscious wearing it! Thank you for a great product and a great price Altrec! The reviews always help make the decision easier.

ok by me!
February 03, 2011

I'm a small woman with very thick hair. I bought the size large and it fits fine with a little extra room. Because there is a little extra room, even though I wore it over my ears, I had no problems with reduction in hearing as some others have reported. It did not make me look funny or like a gnome. It is long on the forehead so I have to flip up the forehead in order to see better. Some have complained about it being too hot but I wore it with highs between 18-23 degrees and it was fine even when I was very active skiing.

Excellent Hat
January 27, 2011

I like this hat very much. It is light and keeps my head warm. Suit perfectly to my head and wind protection is great. And the material wasn't itchy. Great product from MH

Dome Perignon
January 24, 2011

Love this hat. Wear it all the time now. Only hat I keep on in the car. Super comfortable. Fits perfectly. I have been wearing it in 0 degrees and it is very warm.

Dom Perignon Hat
January 19, 2011

I purchased this hat because it looked like it would provide the best warmth for my ears. I loved the look of the hat and when I used it, I was not disappointed. I wore this hat while hiking the Adirondacks and I was not cold once. In fact, I removed the hat at different intervals because it was so warm. I would highly recommend this product.

Dome Perignon Hat
January 12, 2011

This hat has a comfortable shape to fit the head and is well-constructed. The hat fits over the ears for better warmth but muffles sound so you need to flip the edge up if you need better hearing. I wear this hat as much as the weather will allow. Happy with this purchase.

Warmth Without Bulk
January 11, 2011

I was surprised at how relatively thin this hat was when it arrived. However, the warmth it provides is amazing! I was concerned about the sizing - I wear a size 7 7/8 fitted cap (the "one size fits all" caps do not work for me). But, no need to worry. I ordered the "large" size and it is perfect - the hat stretches nicely and is very comfortable. I can wear it for hours with no problems and no headaches. I got the hat in the "Titanium" color and it is very good looking. I don't have the "cone head" issue that some other reviewers have mentioned. Overall, a great purchase and a great product!

My favorite hat
January 11, 2011

BEST HAT I HAVE EVER OWNED. IT IS WARM, COMFORTABLE AND ATTRACTIVE, I JUST CAME IN FROM SHOVELING SNOW ON A WINDY, 18 DEGREE DAY AND MY SHAVED HEAD WAS VERY COZY. THE (L) LARGE WAS A PERFECT FIT FOR MY 7 5/8" HEAD. I HAVE OWNED THIS HAT IN BLUE FOR 2 YEARS AND USED FOR A SKI HAT IN RUGGED COLORADO WEATHER PRIOR TO PURCHASING A HELMET THIS YEAR. I JUST PURCHASED A 2ND HAT IN BLACK AND EXCEPT FOR COLOR ALL QUALITY AND FEATURES ARE THE SAME.

Best Ever
January 02, 2011

Wind blown snow and subzero - no matter. The warmest cranial cover ever made. I own 3 and just bought another just in case it's ever discontinued...

You can't beat Moutain Hardwear...
January 02, 2011

I have never been dissapointed with a Mountain Hardwear product. This hat is warm, but not too bulky and the winstopper really eliminates the 'windchill' factor.
