Made from Heatwave™ Merino, the Top Knot keeps your head nice 'n' cosy in cold weather while occupying minimal room under your helmet.

GE sent me an email a while ago saying I could claim a free Top Knot on my next order. Well last week I deemed it cold enough for the first time to try it on the frosty morning commute to work. It's made of merino goodness, but unlike the Baked Beanie, the Top Knot doesn't come with a windfoil band. Equally as good fitting as the Baked Beanie, I didn't feel it underneath my helmet at all. On the ride there was absolutely no cold wind rushing through my helmet to freeze my bald head on this particular morning. I wonder if maybe it's not designed to, but it only just covers the tops of my ears and I imagine it might not reach there if you have a bouffant barnet to cover. I was hoping that the lack of a windfoil band, and how soft it feels, meant it wasn't going to leave me with a line indented on my forehead where the seam is, but not so. It's a small price to pay for arriving to work with a warm noggin, and it's in my go bag ready for another cold mission.
I though I would only wear this if it was really really cold but find myself using it as a standard item. Super comfortable and keeps the ears toasty warm.
I have struggled to wear this top knot only because I find it a bit tight for my Lunn head. It is likely more a family gene thing than a real issue with the product.
Makes me look like The Edge, according to my wife. Snug fit, under helmet or when a thick beanie is too hot. Folds up to nothing so stow one away for unexpected chills/nights out
