Columbia Portside Fisherman Beanie: My New Go-To Lid (That’s Saving the Planet, Kind Of)
Okay, so you know I’m a sucker for anything cozy, right? But lately, I’ve also been trying to be a bit more mindful about what I’m buying. That’s why the Columbia Portside Fisherman Beanie totally caught my eye. A stylish beanie made from recycled plastic bottles? Seriously, that’s pretty cool.
Let’s talk looks. This beanie comes in a “Dark Stone” color, which, let’s be honest, is basically a fancy way of saying “it goes with everything.” And it does! From my beat-up winter coat to my slightly-more-put-together wool numbers, it just works. Plus, the fisherman style? Super trendy right now. It sits a little higher on your head, which I dig.
Now, for the important stuff: how does it feel? The knit is surprisingly soft, not scratchy at all. And it’s got a good amount of stretch, so it’s snug without feeling like it’s squeezing my brain. I even wore it on a crazy windy day when I was walking the dog – you know, the kind of day where your ears feel like they’re about to fall off? This beanie stayed put and kept me perfectly warm. Huge win!
Okay, hand-wash only is a tiny bit annoying, I’ll admit. But honestly, I’m willing to put in the extra effort for a hat that I know I’m going to be wearing non-stop.
But here’s the kicker: it’s made from recycled stuff! Seriously, how awesome is that? Knowing that I’m rocking something that’s helping to keep plastic out of landfills? That’s a feel-good bonus I can definitely get behind.
Just a couple of things to keep in mind: if you’re all about beanies that cover your entire ear situation, this might not be your jam because of the shorter, fisherman fit. Also, while it’s pretty stretchy, if you’ve got a particularly large head, it might feel a little snug.
Bottom line? The Columbia Portside Fisherman Beanie is a winner. It’s stylish, comfy, and does its bit for the planet. If you’re looking for a new go-to beanie this winter, you seriously can’t go wrong with this one. I’m officially obsessed!
