# Minus33 Ridge Cuff Beanie

**Verdict:** An inexpensive double-layer merino beanie that OutdoorGearLab singles out as its best pick for active use because the wool wicks sweat and dries fast. It is warmer than a thin running hat but doesn't stand up well to strong wind.

- **Best for:** Budget-minded runners who want a warmer, odor-resistant merino beanie for cold runs that also works for everyday wear.
- **Not for:** Runs in strong wind, or runners who dislike a snug, slim fit.
- **Downsides:** Struggles in high winds; Slim, tight fit isn't for everyone; Not running-specific; no reflective details
