I have the brown one & I love it. It's very warm, good ear coverage for a beanie-style hat. The fleece cuts down on the wool itch & adds warmth. There is a small lip of wool around the rim of the hat, right where one's eyebrows are. If you are especially sensitive to wool this may bother you, I've had no real discomfort so far. It's a quality hat, well-made (the Nepalese know their wool & cold), & you get to represent Backcountry.com, win-win.

Damn Fine Bottle

Laken Classic Bottle - 0.6L

Laken Classic Bottle - 0.6L

Rating for this product: 5 June 13, 2008

I bought this bottle and its 1 liter cousin as a result of the recent BPA scare. I'm not one for alarmism, but better safe than sorry. The wide mouth is smaller than a Nalgene's wide mouth, bigger than a Sigg's; perfect sizing, great for cramming ice cubes in and makes cleaning easy. I have the aluminum finish which scratches more readily than the painted variety (my 1L is painted), also the Laken logo is starting to scratch off of the aluminum. Not a serious gripe, just information. The water never tastes like you're drinking from a pool and the bottles are durable (I wouldn't hammer any tent stakes in with 'em or drop them down a cliff face, though) I'm extremely satisfied with these bottles, which are kind of hard to find. So buy them, dig?
