Beanies
Have you ever wondered why you sometimes get so cold out there, even if you’re wearing a really warm jacket? Well the problem might not be in your jacket, it could be in something that you don’t have. A lot of the body’s heat escapes from your head. So what do you do to solve this problem? Invest in a good beanie, skull cap, or some other form of hat.
I have a North Face beanie myself, and there is a pretty good story as to how I got it. When I was out trying to get my Condor Triclimate jacket a year or so ago, I was having a ton of difficulty finding one. I finally managed to find one at a North Face store in New York. They said that they would ship it to me in Massachusetts, so I was pretty pumped. However, the store was closing, so they said to call back in the morning and they would put my order through. It would be set aside for me though, so there would be no issue in getting it.
Great! So I called back in the morning to place my order. I actually spoke with the same guy… only this time there was no jacket. WHAT?? I was very angry. They had promised me the jacket just the evening before, and somehow between when I called and when the store closed the night before, they had managed to sell the jacket they promised to me. Great. Just great. So what does the store manager offer? He offers me a North Face Beanie. Of course, at the time, I was so angry that I didn’t want it. However, I was surfing the internet at the same time, and did manage to find it online and purchased it on the spot. Also, I took advantage of the free beanie, and two weeks later, one showed up in my mail, matching the jacket that I got.
I keep it in my car, and wear it whenever its cold outside, and I have to say that it does wonders. It’s great when you’re pumping gas at 2 in the morning. You end up nice and toasty if you have a nice jacket and a nice beanie on your head to keep in all that warmth that might have escaped. There are many types, and I’ll try to go over them. For now, here’s a beanie you can buy!
