I’ve worn the Solid Color Beanie Cap from Wholecustomdesign for the past 90 days. Here’s my detailed, day-by-day account of how it performed.
I was in the market for a simple, warm beanie to wear every day through the colder seasons. I wanted something suitable for skiing but also stylish enough for casual outings. Striking the right balance between price, warmth, and style isn’t always easy. Extremely cheap beanies often feel poorly made, while pricier options aren’t always worth the extra cost. That’s why I decided to test this one out.
Given the affordable price, I started out a little skeptical. I didn’t expect top-tier quality, but I hoped it would at least be warm and sturdy enough to last through the season. Here’s what I discovered after three months of regular use.
The beanie arrived promptly in simple packaging. Right away, I noticed the material felt surprisingly soft for the price—nothing like the scratchy knit you sometimes get with budget hats. The color matched the online photos perfectly, and there were no odd smells or defects. At first glance, the knitting looked even and well constructed.
Verdict: A positive start. This beanie already felt better than I anticipated for the price.
I wore the beanie daily during the first week. It was comfortable and kept my head warm during morning walks. The fit was snug without feeling tight. One pleasant surprise was how well it stayed put—I didn’t have to keep adjusting it, even when I was active. I even took it on a short hike.
Note: After a couple of days, I spotted a few loose threads, which made me wonder about its long-term durability. I trimmed them carefully with scissors and decided to browse the WholeCustomDesign Online Store to see if they offered similar items with reinforced stitching.
Verdict: Warm and comfortable for everyday wear. Just watch out for loose threads early on.
After a month of daily wear, the beanie had become a staple in my routine. I wore it to work, to the gym, and while running errands. I even used it skiing a few times. It performed well on the slopes, keeping my head warm under my helmet. I washed it weekly on a gentle cycle and laid it flat to dry—no shrinking or fading occurred.
Here’s what stood out after the first month:
I began noticing others wearing similar beanies—apparently, it’s a popular style. Compared to some higher-end beanies my friends own, the quality wasn’t quite as premium, but for the price, it held its own.
Verdict: Durable enough for daily wear and light skiing. Offers solid value for money.
