Polar Fleece is far superior to cable knit. It won't lose it's shape/stretch as quick as knit, the embroidery will be neater because it will be on a flatter surface, if it gets wet you just shake it out and put it back on yer noggin.

Thanks JJJ, great info! Polar fleece is also (very marginally, < $1) cheaper than cable knit too.

Hi Mike, we have fleece beanies with the RFS and they are toasty warm for sure.
I agree with Houghy black is best, we can be Ninja astronomers

yup polar fleece is the way to enlighenment
navy or bottle green would be good, just to steer away for the ever present black.
ps: sorry dave

geez Ving. Ferrari's are red. You wouldn't order a green one would you?
Has to be a black beanie if you think about it

Polar fleece doesnt stretch like wool knit does it? This might work against a
one size fits all scenario.
PF in largest size in black please

Polar fleece would be the go, it's warm, comfortable and dries very quickly when wet.
But... I like the look of the cable knit ones better. The polar fleece jobbies look a bit $2 shoppish to me or is it just the way they're presented.....
