I was searching for a hat that offered warmth without the bulk. As someone who travels frequently for work during the colder months, I decided to test the New Man Lamb Fleece Beanie—the one with that cozy, landlord-style look. I had my doubts about how well the faux fur would last. After using this warm beanie for travel over three months, here’s my detailed, day-by-day assessment.
Before you consider buying a hat like this, keep a few simple rules in mind:
The package arrived promptly. Upon opening the bag, I was surprised by how soft the hat felt—softer than I had anticipated. The fleece is delightfully fluffy and lightweight, a definite plus for travel. I was in the market for a reliable warm beanie for travel, and this one promised warmth without the heaviness of wool.
I ordered the White color, and it matched the product image perfectly. The rolled cuff (the ‘bonnet’ style) is pre-stitched in place. This means you can’t unroll it to cover your ears entirely, but it does help maintain a snug, structured fit.
Verdict: Great initial feel, but some concern about shedding. Ensure your head measurement falls within the 54-58cm range.
I wore the beanie for quick errands and short commutes to see how it performed with everyday movement. The first week is always an adjustment period. I found the warmth level to be ideal for weather around 40°F (4°C).
The hat sits high on the head, similar to a classic docker cap. It covers the top of your head adequately, but your ears remain partially exposed. On windy days, you’ll definitely feel it. I quickly realized this hat is better suited for style and moderate warmth rather than extreme blizzard conditions.
I also started receiving compliments on its unique texture. People noticed how fluffy it was. If you’re interested in other materials or want to explore the full range of designs for this season, you can view all available styles.
