Skida Nordic Hat
Best running beanieCold-weather running guide
A thin, unlined poly-spandex beanie built for high-output cold-weather sports; Treeline recommends it for winter running because it wicks sweat while blocking just enough chill. It runs short on warmth in severe cold.

What reviewers say
Recommended hat for winter running: the thin synthetic fabric moves sweat and gives a modest barrier against the elements, but it is somewhat thin for extreme cold; Treeline points to Skida's fleece-lined Alpine Hat for colder days.
