I use one too for my hand guiding, i know if you get too warm a little moisture builds up inside it! hehe
When you guide for 60 minutes in freezing ambient temps without lifting the patch i can feel the moisture running down my face, thankfully it hasnt turned into an icicle!
I dont find it bothers wrapped around a beanie, but getting it comfortably settled may take a little to get used to.....
As for the little bit of light getting in, try rotating the eyepatch slightly to get the pointiest end right into the corner of the eye being blocked, i usually end up with the strap sort of on a 45 degree tilt. My best eye is my left eye, so i have the patch on my right eye and the strap runs over my left part of my forehead and under my right ear on the other side....try it around the other way! It should feel really comfortable...
I dont have a parrot or a peg leg yet either!! My pirating vocabulary is very limited! Have fun with it you scurvy dog! hehe
Cheers!
