Hi all.
I hope you can help me - i'm a complete novice, and I am looking for a camera suitable for taking photos of moving animals (particuarly whales and dolphins, from a boat) - so the shutter speed has to be good.
It also needs to have a decent zoom.
I've used high quality canon/nikon cameras with telephoto lenses before and taken some great shots, but my budget (and travelling luggage allowance!) won't stretch that far!
My budget is ideally less than £400 (although the cheaper the better!). I don't have a preference between DSLR and compact - if you can advise me on a compact with a good zoom and a fast shutter speed i'd happily consider that. If you advise a DSLR, should I keep the lense that comes with a new camera body, or try and find the camera body second hand and buy a different lense?
Thanks in advance for your help!

It's a must for anyone personal or professional use. Works great as a cold pack and microwaves easily. The texture is almost of sued or felt. very soft on the skin & no need to wrap it with a towel or cloth.
These Corpak hot/cold packs work very well as cold packs. They can stay in the freezer until you are ready for them. They remain flexible even when frozen and the cloth exterior does not feel too cold against bare skin. The cold penetrates into muscles well and is comfortable enough for a good length of treatment.

Movement 1: Kyrie
Movement 2: Gloria
Movement 3: Credo
Movement 4: Sanctus
Movement 5: Benedictus
Movement 6: Agnus Dei
Right from the opening bars, the antiphonal writing harks back to the late-Renaissance splendour of Venice's cori spezzati (spaced choirs) tradition, and the spectres of Bach and Mendelssohn are never far away. However, this music belongs to Rheinberger and shows to great effect his gloriously unpredictable powers of invention. At the heart of the Mass are the concise and largely syllabic settings of the long Gloria and Credo texts. Of note are a few moments of brazen word painting (as outlawed by the Cecilian movement) at the words 'et incarnatus est', 'descendit' and 'ascendit' in the Credo. The expansive Kyrie precedes these central movements, and the Credo is followed by an ethereal Sanctus, a gently dancing Benedictus, and an Agnus Dei whose carefully notated dynamic contrasts and elliptical modulations lead into an extended 'dona nobis pacem' section whose instrumentally conceived textures create a symphonic conclusion to this remarkable piece.

I'd rather see the Steelers bring back Mendenhall than sign Bush.
Sign Bush , or Draft Kenjon Barner or Mike Gillislee
Reggie's Bush rocking the B&G....
mcclendon would be a terrible 5 tech...al woods on the other hand......
http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/...d-line-672199/McLendon, though, is a different type of player than Hampton. He is 6-foot-4 and has added nearly 30 pounds since he first joined the Steelers as an undrafted free agent in 2009. He now weighs 320 pounds, but still moves like a defensive end.
Maybe the Steelers should consider flip-flopping starters -- moving McLendon to defensive end and Hood to nose tackle.
Maybe that will help develop something that has been missing from the defensive line -- production.

ICPD - International Conference on Population and Development
5-13 September 1994
The International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) was convened under the auspices of the United Nations and was organized by a secretariat composed of the Population Division of the UN Department for Economic and Social Information and Policy Analysis and UNFPA.
It was the largest intergovernmental conference on population and development ever held, with 11,000 registered participants, from governments, UN specialized agencies and organizations, intergovernmental organizations, non-governmental organizations and the media. More than 180 states took part in negotiations to finalize a Programme of Action in the area of population and development for the next 20 years. It was the first international conference that did not specifically address women's issues and interests but at which they were nevertheless the main focus of attention.
The Programme of Action, adopted by acclamation on 13 September 1994, endorses a new strategy that emphasizes the integral linkages between population and development and focuses on meeting the needs of individual women and men, rather than on achieving demographic targets.
The key to this new approach is empowering women and providing them with more choices through expanded access to education and health services, skill development and employment, and through their full involvement in policy- and decision-making processes at all levels. Indeed, one of the greatest achievements of the Cairo Conference has been the recognition of the need to empower women, both as a highly important end in itself and as a key to improving the quality of life for everyone.
One of the primary goals of the Programme of Action is to make family planning universally available by 2015 as part of a broadened approach to reproductive health and rights. It also includes goals in regard to education, especially for girls, as well as goals to further reduce levels of infant, child and maternal mortality. It addresses issues relating to population, the environment and consumption patterns; the family; internal and international migration; prevention and control of HIV/AIDS; technology, research and development; and partnership with the non-governmental sector. The Programme of Action provides estimates of the levels of national resources and international assistance required and calls on governments to make those resources available.
The Programme of Action builds upon the World Population Plan of Action, adopted at the World Population Conference held in Bucharest in 1974, and the recommendations adopted at the International Conference on Population, held in Mexico City in 1984. It also builds on the outcomes of the World Summit for Children (1990), the UN Conference on Environment and Development (1992), and the World Conference on Human Rights (1993). In turn, the ICPD's major emphases were reaffirmed at the World Summit for Social Development and the Fourth World Conference on Women, both held in 1995.
Countries were urged to include population factors in all development strategies, and to act to eliminate gender-based violence and harmful traditional practices, including female genital mutilation.
ICPD-Related General Assembly Resolutions
- A/RES/50/124 -- Implementation of the ICPD Programme of Action, 20 December 1995
- A/RES/51/176 -- Implementation of the ICDP Programme of Action, 19 December 1994
- A/RES/49/128 -- Report of the ICPD
- A/CONF.171/13 -- Conference Report of the ICPD
- A/RES/52/188 -- Population and development
- 57/270B -- Integrated and coordinated implementation of and followup to the outcomes of the major United Nations conferences and summits in the economic and social fields

Local leaders voice concerns to Bi-County Parkway plans
WTOP's Hank Silverberg reports
WASHINGTON - You could call it the next "Battle of Manassas" -- or just a headache for the next governor to handle.
Thirteen leaders say Gov. Bob McDonnell should hold off on plans for the Bi- County Parkway, a proposed highway that would run between Prince William and Loudoun counties and skirt close to a corner of the Manassas National Battlefield Park.
They're supporting a growing number of local residents who say the planned 10 miles of road would change their lifestyle.
"What we're saying is slow down, you've gone too fast. Think about this," says Delegate Tim Hugo, R-Fairfax. He's one of the 13 leaders who sent Gov. McDonnell a letter with their concerns.
"We will continue the fight, and the fight be in January when the House of Delegates and the Senate is back in session and Sean Connaughton is back," Hugo says.
Connaughton, the Virginia transportation secretary, has said the parkway is needed in the fast-growing, congested region, according to The Washington Post.
Republican Bob Marshall represents the area where the parkway would be built. He says McDonnell should pass the new highway along to the next governor so its plans can be redrawn.
"Voters with Obama stickers on their car thank me for my opposition and say they're supporting me," Marshall says. "If that doesn't send a message to Richmond, I don't know what does."
A statement from McDonnell says the Commonwealth Transportation Board makes the decision on whether to move forward on specific projects.

It's been making that sound since 8k, but has never gotten louder to the point of those sound bytes. It's been staying the same, and ONLY rears it's ugly head after a long trip on a hot day. From here on in I may not hear it again until spring.
Very strange. I have this sinking feeling it will get extremely worse the day after my YES contract expires.

Can someone post a non-tick audio file for comparison?
If yours sounds like this then you have the problem. It may not blow oil out of the exhaust until the bitter end and it would be best to not saturate the cats with oil. If it sounds like this have your dealer listen to it.
Side note: I can't make a recording of a non-ticker as I don't have one in the area. Mine tick's,Luv2ride's tick and the other one in the area seems to have signs of it. Anyone else starting to think the .3% Yamaha stated in MC magazine is way off????
Posted 06 October 2005 - 02:44 PM
There are no tickers of mass destruction!
Posted 06 October 2005 - 03:34 PM
Sorry to to tell you old chum, that's the way it starts.
Posted 07 October 2005 - 08:53 AM
FYI... there are a couple of non tickers in my area. Jeff Dean (ridgerunner) & Joe Prentiss (JPrentiss) both have non tickers.
I was thinking about asking Jeff to come with me up to the local dealer and ask them to listen to his... & then listen to mine. There's a big difference there!
Also, I'm starting to get the tell-tale blue haze around the end of my cans.
Real nice, huh?

In other words, if you have a multiband EQ and cut everything from about 3.7 kHz on down, boost the upper mid/highs (3.9 kHz) and cut every thing over 4.2 kHz, you can clearly hear the tick.
I have a lovely screen capture of the 3D spectrum analysis as a .jpg. Don't know how to post a pic, tho.

I think mine is a "ticker" after a trip to CA this summer but what is the cause? The reason I ask is that I let the bike sit for 3 weeks after coming home from a 5500 mile trip. When I went to start it it made a very loud tapping or knocking sound for about 15 seconds. It then subsided. Is this an issue where oil "leaks down" from the top end? This noise went away steadily into the "tick". Time to see the dealer.
Posted 12 October 2005 - 12:10 PM
Yes...and I was thinking in this direction for well over a year! It seems new cases of ticking are surfacing almost daily now and I will boldly predict that the rate could rise to 25% or more....worse than anybody could have imagined,for sure! We will never know for sure because Yamaha is not (and never has been ) forthcoming on the matter.I maintain that for allot of units produced since day one, up to sometime into the `05 production run, it`s just a matter of time and distance.In view of the culprit being unearthed (seals that are too tight), why don`t all FJR`s tick? Simple...riding style, riding conditions and factory production tolerances (some seals will be looser and some tighter). Also, some bikes run hotter than others it seems. Regardless, if the oil fow in the head was better balanced between left side and right side (in terms of quantity,direction and temperature), I doubt the ticking phenom. would have arisen. It appears that the exhaust guides on the left side have been inadvertently marginalized by oil system design. I believe that a change in head design would ultimately solve the problem as opposed to looser seals :assasin:

The censer or incense burner in neo-pagan witchcraft is used for burning incense, herbs, wood and other substances, to cleanse and purify the air before rituals. Censing, which represents the element of air, exorcises and keeps unwanted energies away from the magic site; offers sweet air to the God and Goddess; raises vibrational rates and summons energies; relaxes the senses; and contains and concentrates power. The act of burning incense or other substances is also known as carrying our wishes up to the God and Goddess.
Blowing Fairy Incense Burner
It is said that fairies are supernatural beings who occupy a limbo between earth and heaven. Being both good and evil, fairies are nature spirits living under that element. Let the sacred fairy blow on your incense so that it may reach the God and Goddess, this resin burner is about 10 inches.

WASHINGTON - George Washington University says Lloyd Elliott, who served as university president from 1965 until 1988, has died.
A university spokeswoman says Elliott died Tuesday at George Washington University Hospital. He was 94.
Elliott, a U.S. Navy veteran of World War II, previously served as president of the University of Maine. During his tenure at GW, numerous buildings, including three libraries at its Foggy Bottom Campus, were constructed.
Elliott is credited with the growth of the university's endowment from $8 million in 1965 to $200 million in 1988. The School of International Affairs was renamed the Elliott School in 1988.

I love this cream and so do my clients :) worth a try if you've never used it before.
I loooove the smell and consistancy of the product! It's my favorite cream of all time, except I wish it was pumpable. I got tired of scooping product out of the 1 gallon jug. :-(
I am sensitive to chemical smells. The "fragrance" in this cream smells just like the deodorizer in some cat litter brands. I had a cat for 18 years and have done massage for 14. I really was hoping the best for this product. The cream felt nice though.
I love Hebal Select. I like the glide and the faint sent of lavender and chamomile is perfect. Plus it comes in a pump!
Basically the only product I use. The glide is perfect for all types of work. Clients love the subtle scent and the fact that they are not all oily.

Horsetail is considered to be a diuretic and astringent. It induces perspiration during high fever and has primary effects in correcting bladder problems; it is used both as a diuretic and to help control incontinence, including childhood enuresis. Horsetail is also used as an eye treatment, especially for conjunctivitis and inflammation of the lachrymal ducts. It has been applied externally to treat both hemorrhoids and anal fissures. It has also been used to treat menstrual clots. Horsetail is commonly used to treat tumors.
The major action of horsetail is as a urinary tract astringent and diuretic. These properties are produced by a combination of tannins and flavonoids present in the herb. Folk medicine refers to the ability of horsetail to tone organs of the urinary tract and soothe the bladder. This is best explained by the herb's ability to tighten the inflamed epithelial tissues with tannins and purge the urinary tract of toxins by diuresis. Concurrently, the flavonoids present in horsetail exert a spasmolytic action on the smooth muscles to ease the painful spasm often associated with urinary tract infections. Its flavonoids are also antiseptic and help fight infections of the urinary tract. Its astringent properties also make it useful topically as an eyewash and to heal wounds.
In spite of the unproven claims associated with the herb, horsetail is unique among the herbs because it does contain the highest amount of silicon of all the herbs and this silicon is in a bioavailable form. This property makes horsetail popular in skeletal strengthening formulas.
Contains bitter compounds that increase the production of urine and shrink inflamed mucosal tissue, particularly the prostate. Horsetail is most noted for its trace mineral profile as it is an excellent herbal source of bioavailable silicon, calcium, magnesium, chromium, iron, manganese, and potassium. It has been used to treat prostatitis, osteoporosis, enuresis, urinary tract infections and muscle cramps.
Horsetail (shavegrass) has found many uses through the ages, most of which can be traced in some way to its very high silica content. Maud Grieve writes that, "the epidermis contains so much silica that bunches of the stem have been sold for polishing metal and used to be imported from Holland for the purpose, hence the popular name of Scouring Rushes."
Its high mineral content, astringency and effect on the urinary and circulatory systems gained it high regard among the old herbalists as a wound healing herb. Culpeper says, "It is very powerful to staunch bleeding, either inward or outward. It also stays all sorts of lasks and fluxes in man or woman, and bloody urine, and heals also not only the inward ulcers, but all other sorts of foul, moist, and running sores, and soon solder together the tops of green wound."
Horsetail's diuretic properties were also valued by 19th century practitioners. Ellingwood suggests of Horsetail the following uses: dropsy, lithemia, hematuria, gonorrhea, gleet, irritable bladder, enuresis in children, prostatitis, and its ashes for acid dyspepsia.
Silicon is an essential element in the manufacture of collagen, the matrix material that holds the body together. It gives elasticity and suppleness to the skin, and contributes flexibility and strength to the bones, hair, and nails. Horsetail can be thought of as an "internal cosmetic," building beauty from the inside out.
Indicated Usages - Internal:
Indicated Usages - External:
Has been used in the following:
Uses: We use it often in tea and tincture combinations pertaining to any female problems, urinary tract infections, kidney stones, bed wetting, etc. Like many other bulk herbs, we add it to many dishes (salads, meat dishes, soups, stews, etc.) in small amounts for added nutrition and fiber without affecting the flavor. Horsetail can be used to benefit men, women (including before, during or after pregnancy, and nursing) and children. It can be used as often as you would like.
Voice of Experience: Few things will have a greater impact on the health of your hair and fingernails than Horsetail (Diatomaceous Earth is the other miracle worker on hair, skin and nails). Whether you are dealing with split ends or weak and thin nails, consuming Horsetail regularly will have noticeable results. Do drink plenty of water while using it internally.
Storage: It should be kept in an airtight container and stored in a dark, dry, and cool place.

Energy Technology: Cultivating Clean Tech
New Models for Energy RD&D: A new 'Clean Energy Institute' could lead the industry's war on climate change.
faces its own gauntlet of political issues, most of which emerge from two fundamental questions: Who wins and who loses? And how influential will they be in shaping the policy?
Utilities have generated power from coal, oil, natural gas and hydro for a century. Those technologies have evolved slowly and incrementally. They are well known, predictable in both performance and cost, and the engineering skills to manage them readily are available. Innovation and R&D have not been needed until now, and, not surprisingly, are not the industry's forte. After all, the regulatory compact calls for utilities to provide reliable service at a reasonable price—not to blaze new technology paths.
But now, the industry is being asked to invest hundreds of billons of dollars over the coming decade in new technologies that have not been proven commercially, and may have to be abandoned if they don't work as planned—or if more cost-effective solutions emerge. These requirements are basically antithetical to traditional cost-of-service regulation.
Arguably the clean-energy mandate is a societal goal, and the government should fund the program, not ratepayers. As such, some utilities oppose the idea of a nationwide surcharge to fund RD&D. But increasingly, utility industry leaders are beginning to support the broad concept—as evidenced in the numerous interviews conducted for this report (see author acknowledgements at end) .
At the same time, competitive pressures might lead some generators to oppose additional costs levied for RD&D, even though the uniform surcharge on kilowatt hours would apply to all load-serving entities. Plus, utilities that are dependent on nuclear or natural gas—and all generators using carbon-neutral technologies—may see the surcharge as an unwarranted burden to subsidize competing resource strategies.
In short, protecting shareholder value may explain why the industry has not been able to speak with a single voice on the issue.
Finally, Congress may view auctions of emission allocations as a cash windfall to be distributed to local constituents, from farmers to low-income households, based on political objectives rather than low-carbon emission objectives. All of the preceding groups also might oppose a funding mechanism controlled by industry, to the degree their parochial interests aren't served.
Seeking Leadership
In addition to the political questions—and to a large degree because of them—the idea of a clean-energy institute faces the serious practical question of whether any new management entity can successfully lead such a vast and broadly arrayed RD&D effort. The keyword is leadership—both in terms of stakeholders and executive management of the organization.
While many industry leaders are aware and supportive of the concept of a new entity for RD&D, and are struggling to develop an appropriate model, others strongly oppose anything that looks like a tax. Hence it is unlikely that the industry will be able to speak with one voice. The effort likely will require visionary and powerful executive management, with a demonstrated knack for finding effective compromises.
Where will this leadership come from? Perhaps the best hope rests with the next president—specifically, in the hope that he or she will recognize the United States must lead the global campaign against climate

HUNTINGTON, Ind. — Stephanie Morin, a senior history and public relations major, has been named the recipient of the "Best Non-Western Paper" award for 2012-13 from the Center for Non-Western Studies (CNWS) at Huntington University. A
native of Gorham, Maine, Morin investigates the historiography
surrounding the partition of India and emergence of modern Pakistan.
According to Morin's professor, Dr. Tim Smith, "It is an excellent
research paper that attempts to balance a very difficult
historiography." The CNWS award committee feels that her paper will
serve as a good benchmark for future years. "I can't express my
gratitude and genuine excitement," Morin said about the award. "I look
forward to the coming academic year and this opportunity. I loved
writing this paper and cannot wait to hear the comments and critique of a
specialist." Morin is referring to the anticipated visit of a
scholar, yet to be named, who will engage Morin's thesis and expand upon
her findings in a special lecture to be held next spring. In addition
to this honor, Morin receives a modest cash prize from the CNWS.The
CNWS was established in 2009 to highlight and support
inter-disciplinary research and teaching through a shared interest in
non-western politics, culture and society. The center brings together a
number of Huntington faculty in the fields of Bible and religion,
business, English, history and political science, ministry, TESOL,
social work and sociology.

An amusing story from Atlantic magazine, titled "Rebirth of the Guinea Hens" describing the writer's attempts to get his guinea hens home to roost, reminded me of my early experience with fancy chickens and white fantail doves. The Girls arrived in pairs at our place, Sycamore Barn, on a spring day. I'd never had chickens before, so this was a steep learning curve. We let them out of the their cardboard boxes and stood admiring their feathered loveliness while they stood in stunned silence. And then took off like the sky was falling.
Our village was small, so we had regular reports of their whereabouts: the favorite spot being a neighbor's old apple orchard. My mother, a former farmgirl from rural Ireland, urged my Midwest-born husband to go after them, implying that by not doing so he was failing in his marital duties (but even the things that he did do were signal of that). So, off he went with a cardboard box, a forked twig and a length of string. All very Huck Finn, and the thought being that when the errant hen would wander into the box, he'd yank the string, the twig would collapse and the bird would be trapped. He got very cold, and ate too many apples while waiting for this scenario to unfold. I don't have to describe what the result of that exploit was.
It took about a week to round The Girls up, by which point I had learned what I should have done (so much of learning is dependant on hindsight), which was to keep them penned up for a week, THEN let them loose. If they're given a chance to bond with their roost, they'll always come home.
Same with the doves. When I finally removed the netting that swaddled the dovecote, they emerged from their nests, blinked at the light, and stood there. Until one took off. It was stunning to watch her circle the fields on either side of our property in turn, and then do a few loops above our garden acre before alighting on the ridgebeam of the barn. Then the other eleven doves took off in groups — it was like the planes taking off on D-Day. They followed the same pattern as the solo flyer, setting their internal birdy compasses, before joining the leader on the roof. And there they stayed for three days. Scoping out the scene, making recce flights before returning to base. Eventually, when the urge to lay an egg was too great to resist they returned to the dovecote and got down to business.
In the meantime, The Girls had got into their groove, eggs were being laid, and the compost heap was nearly ablaze with the collected quano. So, all came right in the fullness of time, and ever since then I've learned to at least try to get my bearings and get settled before charging off on the next mission.

Health Information
Visions of Light Desserts Dance in Our Heads
Ah, the holidays. Visions of sugarplums, cookie exchanges, and company parties dance in our heads. Trouble is, we often find ourselves with several post-holiday pounds dancing around our hips. Research has shown that the average person gains nearly seven pounds between Halloween and New Year's Day.
But, you don't have to entirely give up your holiday favorites, including delicious desserts, in order to lighten up the season. There are a few simple ways to indulge without guilt.
Modify your recipes
Simple changes to your dessert recipes, for instance, can significantly reduce fat and calories—while keeping all the flavor.
Use egg substitutes, available at your grocery store, or egg whites only (two whites per whole egg in recipe), to reduce fat and cholesterol.
Try a fruit puree such as applesauce, apple butter, or prune puree instead of oil when baking. These fruit purees contain cellulose, a natural vegetable fiber that traps moisture in your breads, cakes, and muffins. You can substitute half—or more—of the fat, this way.
Cut back on sugar in pies. Nutritionists say that most pie recipes contain much more sugar than needed. Try cutting back by half, and see if you're pleased with the results. Or use a commercial sugar-substitute.
If you're worried that holiday guests may detect your changes, test your recipes beforehand, so you can make sure that they taste just as delicious as the original versions. Change only one ingredient at a time, so you know which changes you like best. And to avoid sampling while creating your goodies, it's best to do your baking after a meal, when you're not hungry.
The holidays, while a time to celebrate traditions, also are an excellent opportunity to create healthy new habits. Introduce more fruit-based desserts, such as warm fruits topped with fat-free whipped topping or drizzled with fat-free chocolate sauce. Use only a bottom crust on pies, rather than a top as well. Make cakes without the frosting, or reduce the amount of frosting.
Plan for parties
The preponderance of holiday parties means we don't always have control over the types of foods available. The trick here is to cut back on your portions.
If you're at a dessert buffet, and you see several desserts that are your favorites, take only a sliver of each, so you're not eating three whole desserts. If you're having pie, don't eat all the crust. Avoid any desserts that even look rich, such as cheesecakes.
Stick near the fresh fruit platter—and stay away from alcohol, which is full of empty, non-nutritious calories. Fill up, instead, on healthier foods such as turkey, lean cuts of beef, and vegetables.
Eat before going to the party. If you're somewhat full, you won't be "picking" on the buffet.
Finally, find a way to add healthy foods at the party. Ask the host or hostess if you may contribute a dessert. Then, bring one of your low-fat, light, and healthy desserts.
Keep your balance!
Health experts say you shouldn't get overly concerned if you don't lose weight over the holidays; you'll be ahead of the game if you simply don't gain. Therefore, don't set unrealistic weight-loss goals.
Focus, instead, on the joys of the season: spending time with friends and family, and showing them you appreciate them. Plan some healthy family activities, such as a game of touch football, ice-skating, or an evening walk to work off dessert. At parties, mingle and converse, rather than sticking by the food table. Wait for about 20 minutes after a meal before deciding to eat dessert; your blood sugar will have increased after the meal, decreasing your craving for sweets.
Keep in mind that your friends and family may be just as conscious about their eating habits and weight control, this time of year. By offering healthy alternatives, you can feel good about what you're serving.
General recipe modification tips:
Use nonstick cooking spray to grease the pan when cooking and baking.
Use heart-healthy fats, rather than butter or shortening, for baking.
Use 3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to replace 1 ounce of unsweetened chocolate.
Use an equal amount of marshmallow creme in frostings to substitute for butter or margarine.
Try finely crushed cinnamon graham crackers instead of traditional piecrusts.
Use two egg whites instead of one whole egg when baking.
Use equal amounts of applesauce or baby food prunes to replace oil.
Use equal amounts of fat-free plain yogurt to replace sour cream.

The lightweight, compressible 2-layer construction features an updated moisture-wicking blend of 55% nylon and 45% fine-gauge, chlorine-free merino wool for all-day, no-itch comfort and warmth. A polyester band inside provides fast wicking and next-to-skin comfort.
- Soft nylon/chlorine-free merino wool blend keeps head warm and comfortable
- Durable and comfortable 2-layer construction

- Lightweight and stuffable
- Fun patterns
- 55% nylon/45% chlorine-free merino wool
- 82 g (2.9 oz)

Chlorine-free Wool
Raw, untreated wool has scales that make it itchy and coarse and cause it to shrink, so most wool fabrics are treated with chlorine to reduce the scales. But chlorine is a pervasive pollutant that's especially harmful to organisms living in water and soil. We remove the scales from our merino wool fibers using a unique chlorine-free process that's bluesign® approved.
