What about sizing? Would it fit small heads, large heads, or only medium heads? My head is so small the the Smartwool helmet liner is loose on me.Originally Posted by KnottedYet

Hey Deb- I have teeny head too! Originally Posted by DebW

Perhaps if we purposely shrink them a bit in the wash....Lisa

Ibex Meru looks pretty small. I kinda have a small head, too. (Most baseball hats look pretty silly on me) Laying it as flat as I can (the curved panels make it awkward to try to flatten it, but make it lie smoothly on your head) it measures about 10 inches at the band (so double that for the unstretched hat circumference). My head is about 22 inches along the lines where I wear the hat.
It fits like a glove. But on my head. Without any fingers bobbing around like a rooster's comb. yeah, that's it....

When I firsty received mine I thought it was too small and I do not think my head is larger the average. To my amasement the Meru stayed on during my long runs. I really expected it to fly off straightaway. I love it and wish I have the Espresso one (I adore that colour).

Oh I would if I could. It *is* less expensive than an oboe or bassoon reed and would last a lot longer. Originally Posted by KnottedYet

Ibex Meru shrinkage.
Washed my Meru this morning in cold water and Dr. Bronners soap. Just measured it (almost dry) and it's 9 1/2 inches across, so 19 inches around. (as opposed to 10 inches/20 inches) Plopped it on my head, and it fits just fine. Can't tell it shrank at at all.
Those of you with small heads might like the shrinkage, those with big heads probably won't notice.
Remember, fellow WoolWeenies: $10 and free shipping...
