Anyone know the source for the possumdown beanies that use to be sold here.

BTW, for gloves (same as the BPL ones…) use the size in inches not S/M/L

Franco,

Thank you for the quick answer. Now I will just have to decide if I want to spend that much on these items. hmm?

They have hats for $40 w/ free shipping. I don't have my hat handy at the moment but if I recall it might only be 30% possum, so a little bit less than BPL or ShopNewZealand

Stephen,

I just contacted them regarding the specs of their Beanie. I am waiting for a responce regarding % and weight. Would this product come with your recommendation? Have you been happy with its performance? Also, do you happen to recall the weight.

Thanks for the info

Just weighed it. Its a tad on the heavy side (2.2 oz), although I probably can't say enough good things about PossumDown. I absolutely love how soft/warm it is.

It was a terrible day when I lost/misplaced my original BPL beanie, and although it took me over a year to cave and pay for another one (from ecowool this time), I have not once regretted it.

I bought the plain black beanie (http://www.ecowool.com/possum-fur-products/possum-fur-clothing/possum-merino-plain-beanie.html). If you were looking to save a little weight and still go PossumDown, it looks like the Koru beanie does not double up over the ears, but I can't tell for sure.

edit: Another possibility is to try one of Kat's beanies (http://www.outdoortrailgear.com/cottage-industries/mountaingoatgear/mountain-goat-hats/). I've had my eye on them for awhile but am just not in the position where I should be buying/replacing hats. I have way too many half started MYOG projects piled up…
