PGwear Navy Beanie Action Heavy Knit, Zip Eye Slit

Dark blue knit that turns into a face cover

Navy is the choice for anyone who finds black too severe and grey too pale. The Action Heavy Knit model is knitted in coarse ribs from acrylic yarn and has a deep turn-up with the white crest patch on the front.

A second function hides under that turn-up: drawn fully down, the hat covers the head to the neck. The slit at eye level is bound in black and has a zip, so it opens or closes as required.

Navy with jeans and denim

Against blue denim, navy makes a quiet pairing; against olive and beige, a contrast that never turns harsh. The white patch and the black binding of the slit are the only light and dark points on the surface.

What the heavy knit does

Coarse stitches in thick yarn trap air between the ribs, and that layer of air keeps warmth at the head. The deep turn-up doubles the thickness of the material exactly over the ears.

Two ways to wear it

Worn up, it is an ordinary winter hat. Drawn down, it closes off face and neck, and how far the eye area stands open is decided at the zip pull.
