Can’t wear them. Every one I’ve owned has made my head itch, and finding one that fits my big head is a challenge. + 1 on the itch. I don't have a big head, but it must be kinda cone shaped. Any beanie I ever wore kept climbing up my head and off. I used to see them for sale with a ball cap brim. Laughed at them. Now with older eyes, one would be nice. Haven't seen one I years.

Go to Amazon and search for 'beanie visor'. You'll find lots of them. Carhartt has several versions.

LOL! I have the same problem with beanies. They ride up until they're perched on top of my head. No such problems with watch caps, so I have settled on an orange Carhartt watch cap over a baseball cap (need that brim for sun glare).

My head is wide on top. Most ball caps just perch on top. I need one that will come down to my ears to stay on. The best fit I've found is with some Sportsmans Warehouse store brands and some Carhardtts.

I got a Mellon head.
Hard to find a OSFM beanie that fits me.

Warm lids are relatively light and affordable. A brim is mandatory. I usually leave the truck w/ at least a balaclava and a couple of hats. If I had to carry only one it would be an OR Whitefish. Now I have to check out those Kuiu lids. For winter in the mountains a fur lined bomber and a balaclava over a synthetic no-button top ball cap is a decent system. A hooded soft shell midlayer and a hooded down jacket complete the system for climbing through glassing or calling. Your melon is the easiest and most efficient temp control point for a long strenuous day in the mountains.

And keep a spare watchcap (or beanie) in a ziplock bag in your pack for warm, dry sleeping.

However, I don't think there probably exists a beanie much warmer than Kuiu's Kenai Beanie. I say that having a Kenai Bomber hat.
I was going to ask clarifying questions, but they are on sale so I just bought both. Thanks for the recommendation.

Back when I was working outdoors for the local electric company we had insulated hard hat liners that worked really well keeping my bald head warm. I have used them under many hats to hunt with. Especially the beanies and Jones style ( required ) orange hats. The Jones style is good for rainy days I found by experience.

All these hunters putting plastic bags on their head. How hard is it to skin a couple rabbits or a fox?

Go to Amazon and search for 'beanie visor'. You'll find lots of them. Carhartt has several versions. Also search for “jeep hats” or “jeep caps” on Amazon and ebay. The problem most are made in Asia and apparently the Asians have little heads. Some fit, some don’t. Tight fitting ones make my head itch. Get the wool ones, they’re warmer and seem to fit a bit better.
