    Beanie advice

    Hi Team!

    After a recent trip to Waimate, I realised my head warmer (cheap Bunnings beanie) was woefully inadequate.

    Would like some thoughts, advice, suggestions about a quality, affordable and effective replacement please!

    get someone to sew you a crawford neck warmer..... basically a bath towel sized bit of polar fleece,folden in half and sew down the side only 1/3 of the way...with slit made on other side same length..allows you to put big flap down front and down back..can pull up over ears and even over top of head...with one of them..your bunnings beanie will once again cut the mustard.

    This afternoon I took my MKM 36.6 when I took the dog for a walk instead of the usual one . I can recommend it for cold conditions, I was way too warm today.

    Thanks everyone for the replies so far @gonetropo, I'll take you up on your offer, thanks. No rush, whenever you can. @Dannyd, I KNOW people from Oxford, so that counts

    If you don’t mind a black beanie with an orange logo I’ve got boxes of em. Very warm and popular with the customers.
    I’ll send you one.
