Excellent, versatile lightweight hat
Yes, its open weave is not so warm in a breeze BUT with something (a hood or scarf?) over it, the hat is warmer than most. I love that I can put it into the pocket of my coat -- it's not bulky -- to wear later when it gets colder.

Awesome product!
I'm so pleased with my Farpointe Alpha Drifter cap! I got the burgundy 90gsm in size small. It's hard to find hats that fit my tiny head, thank you for offering this in my size! It's so light and warm, I often forgot that I even had it on. Excellent temperature regulation- I never felt too warm with it on, but I sure felt the cold after I took it off. Thin enough that I could wear it under a baseball hat for chilly morning starts. Overall, perfect product!

Super light and comfortable
I have not used this hat a lot so far as the weather has been warm, but it fits well, is very comfortable and is perfect for cold nights sleeping with a quilt. It’s also the lightest warm hat I have found.

I like it.
I like the cap. I wear a crazy large hat size and the size large, 120gsm cap fits me. I do wish it was warmer though. With a buff over my ears though it works well down to freezing temps.

Drifter hat
I love it, good for cool California mornings before it heats up. Super lightweight and covers the ears which is key for me.
