A ski hat, also known as a beanie, is a type of knitted cap that is designed to be worn in cold weather, particularly while engaging in winter sports such as skiing or snowboarding. It is typically made of wool or synthetic materials and covers the head and ears, sometimes extending down to cover the forehead. The hat fits snugly on the head and often has a fold-over cuff at the bottom. Ski hats come in a variety of colors and styles, from simple solid-colored designs to more intricate patterns and designs. They are popular among both men and women and are versatile and practical accessories for winter weather.
