Mother's Day Gift Guide: Smartwool Lupine Striped Hat

A densely knit merino wool that fits and breathes well.

Testers loved this snug-fitting, super-stretchy beanie for several reasons. The soft, densely knit merino wool make it versatile (warm when it needs to be warm, breathable when it needs to breathe) for everything from skiing to cool weather hiking to bopping around town. The cheery stripes mean it looks good with a variety of jackets. $35; 2.3 oz. smartwool.com
