Madison Isoler Merino Winter Hat

At first I was delighted with this under helmet cap, kept my head warm on the coldest of days. I have had it for a few months now, but noticed this morning that the plastic insert in the peak had cut a hole at the back of the peak, quite a sharp piece the plastic was sticking out on one side making this purchase a bad one. Can't be arsed with sending it back, shall start useing my old beanie.....S**T

Initially I found this cap to be comfortable and warm. I have worn it a few times and this morning I noticed that the plastic inside the peak of the cap had made a hole on the edge of the peak. I notice another reviewer has said the same thing. Why make the plastic so sharp where the material is quite thin? It seems like a fundamental design problem. Anyway I have now written to tredz asking them to either credit me or offer me an alternative cap.

Bought this for cold winter night cycling to keep my head warm and my ears covered. Although not windproof, unless its howling a gale I don't need ear plugs in as well to stop the earache. Nice snug fit -does the job well.

I bought this to keep my head warm for winter cycling. I am very pleased with my purchase, kept my head and ears warm without any moisture build up. After 30+ mils dry as a bone. Good result...

This is a very comfy roomy cap. I can wear it under the helmet for a couple of hours without too much itching. The size (L/XL) is perfect for my large head, and doesn't feel tight at all. It comes down over the ears and around the face a little too, so is quite cosy. The peak is a touch narrow, just a small thing, and also I found the label was in my eyeline, and perhaps not that cool, so I unpicked it for the stealth look! About to wash it for the first time so wish me luck.

As other reviewers found I had difficulty working out appropriate size hence ordered a small/medium and found it too small . All credit to tredz they saw my review regarding this and without prompting they sent me a large , fantastic customer care very impressed oh and the large size Madison merino hat is perfect fit warm and very functional , Thanks Tredz !!

I wore this once to good effect - it is warm and comfortable, and fits well under a helmet. However, after one wash, the point at the edge of the plastic peak stuck out through the merino wool. I have returned it and asked for a refund as it seems to me like a design fault where a pointy plastic thing is expected not to pierce a soft woollen garment. So far, no response from Tredz although I am sure to get a response soon.

Just thought I'd write this review as when I bought this cap I couldn't find a size guide anywhere! I ended up going for the small/medium but had to return it for the large/ex large as it was just too small & didn't cover my ears My head measures 57cm Apart from that I'm very pleased Hope this helps someone!

Have used a running skull cap until until now..... This merino wool cycling cap is seriously impressive. It kept me warm this morning without overheating. My old skull cap used to keep me warm but was very unbreathable....a 40 mile ride would have left me with a very sweaty head and cap. Not this morning. I was warm without being too hot and not a sweaty head in sight! The cap was as dry as a bone. Very happy and would definitely recommend.

Very good, comfortable fit. Would recommend buying.
