Forum rules
This is a place to share fair and systematic reviews of gear. Share the good, bad and ugly as well as including how you tested it and reviewed the gear. This is not the place to carry on about a bit of gear that failed, sometimes good gear has a lemon - this is more about systematic reviews. Although this can be a way to help gear manufactures with feedback, this is not the place to hassle them or ask for money back.

Start each thread with
[tag]Brand, product, RRP in AUD. The tags have two parts the type of gear and type of testing/review. eg
[Sleeping bag | Unboxing] Kmart Summit Hooded $29
[Stove | Field test]Jetboil, flash $150

Suggested review types. Unboxing, field test, 1 year on, stress test, teardown.
If someone else has already reviewed the same product in a similar method then please use the initial thread to include your review. Please note if the gear was provide to you for free, loan, discount or if you paid full RRP.

Ascent Double Layer Possum Beanie

I'll just keep it short & sweet...as reviewed on their website.
They're on sale until the 12th July. 8)

Oh so soft to the touch....light & very warm.
Perfect for taking in those chilly summit views,
under a hooded jacket when it's raining cats & dogs or
sitting round a campfire in damp conditions. :wink:

Glad you like it kitty, i had to go dig it out my pack just because you mentioned it,
oh that lovely soft warmth...mmmm.
They're longer than your average beanie too, you could probably cut some
eyes out of it & use it as a makeshift balaclava ! But only if you really had to. :wink:

Ooroo,

I just bought 2 too. Lovely. No doubt more functional than my down beanie, but both will get a turn this weekend.

Thanks for pointing out the torpedo7 site.

Yes, but its no joke really. Its a good point because its also long enough to store a pony tail or big hair, which is an important consideration for some when buying beanies :)
