A big multi-color pom pom on top for a bit of winter fashion frivolity the Scott MTN 40 Women's Beanie is a cozy and fun après ski, around town, stay warm, winter hat. Two layers of fabric to keep the cold out and the toasty in, the exterior is acrylic, the interior a wicking and breathable Repreve® polyester fleece band lining. A happy pom pom on top for style, and because you never outgrow grabbing your pom to pop a hat off your head, nor the jaunty bounce. A ribbed cuff gives you sizing options, roll it up for a snug to your head fit, roll it down for move space and movement, unroll it completely for a slouch that hangs back0 a hat you can wear your way for facing a cold winter day. And.. a hat with some history. The oldest known use of a pom pom dates from 800–1066 CE and appears on a statue of the Viking god Freyr. When he was a baby the gods gave him Álfheimr, the realm of the Elves, as a teething present, and he owns the ship Skíðblaðnir which always has a favorable breeze and can be folded together and carried in a pouch when it is not being used.. rather like today’s inflatable paddleboards. A hat with roots that go all the way back to the Vikings, who certainly knew how to stay warm in winter weather!
