I may sound like my mother here, but you really should be wearing a hat when it’s cold. Regardless of the possibly untrue myth of losing a certain percentage of your body heat through your head, hats will keep your head and ears warm. And that’s an important fact. When looking for a good winter hat, it’s wise to invest in one made out of materials that will actually keep you warm. That means investing in wools like merino or cashmere. We’ve rounded up a few of the best to make sure that your noggin doesn’t freeze.

This fisherman’s style knit beanie is made from a cotton, nylon, and wool blend and comes in 11 different colors. The single fold allows you to keep your ears warm, without having to pull your hat down.
