Who makes some good gun type watch caps? My bald head gets cold and I need some new ones. I don't like the stocking cap type. I had a really awesome fallen patriots one but I can't find it. Awesome cap and awesome organization. Thanks for any help

Amazon. Fleece beanie. $5

I am a beanie nut and have lots. I have a surplus FDE USMC cheapo beanie I use under an oversized Viper multicam cover, and it works due to thinness and breathability with the cap, but kind of sucks alone.

I have an similar cheap beanie in black for cold weather and LE duty use. I get my beanies large enough to cover the tops of my ears. The cheap single layer unlined fleece is almost totally sound transparent.

I have a thin Smartwool beanie for a thin in helmet i sulator that breathes or as a sleeping beanie, which I like because I can pull it over my eyes in a sleeping bag. Not warm enough alone under 45 degrees though.

I have a Outdoor Research Gore Wind stopper beanie, which is the best in colder weather but is not very breathable (no hiking or you drown in swest) and the membrane blocks some sound. Its the best in cold and wind, but has largely been relegated to sleeping in cold weather or use around camp where situational awareness is not important.

I think cheap, single layer fleece is the best answer for wind under 10 mph and temps over 32. With colder weather and high wind you need a wind barrier and double thick fleece over your ear tops. Just make sure it does not cover your ear hole or it will seriously cut your SA.

Those are my thoughts.

Mountain hardware used to have a really great multicam beanie but it totally covers your ears and blocks sound.

Got an Outdoor Research one I really like. I mean, it's not gun related but it keep my head warm...

OR Windstopper here.  It's a godsend in the winter time.

I prefer "headsock".

I've got a Modern Musket lined beanie that I only wear when it gets really cold out.  It's almost too warn for me to wear unless it gets down right frigid.  I also have a Grunt Style fleece one that I wear in "cool" weather.  The MM one seems to be very, very well made.  The GS one has popped a couple of stitches, but not in places that have started to unravel as of yet.  GS has a guarantee on their t-shirts, but I don't know if they would replace the cap if it does fail.

Turtle Fur, 12 bucks. Fits me the best out of all the ones I've tried.

Black Rock Gear HadronS




+1. Turtle Fur beanies are super warm and very soft. I wear one under my Black Rock Gear beanie and my head feels like an oven.

the army issued black fleece cap is polartec and about 12 bucks. hard to beat. once it starts pilling i just buy a new one. usually go through 1 per season

Thanks guys I'll check them out

This is what I use in below zero weather here.  It keeps my head really warm and dry. I have 3 of them now haha.

You can find a better price if you search.

Holy shit....that looks like a sleeping bag for your head.

Fuck yea. I have the larue following embroidered one.

Mountain hardware has a nice multicam one. Edit. Apparently this was a skd exclusive and is now discontinued

Outdoor Research, Arc'teryx, Mountain Hardwear, etc. hit your local REI.

I just use the Condor ones, $5.00 and they are long enough to completely cover the ears.

I'm a fan of primaloft insulation. I recently bought an Under Armour Ridge Reaper beanie, it's a wool/primaloft blend. Comes in a dark tan/brown color only, but it is very warm. I shave my head, and am right next to one of those big ponds you see on the Michigan map
