Great instructional videos and high quality gear. Thanks. Just purchased merino wool beanie. surprised to see made in china. not mentioned on website. would have been happy to support a canadian company and beanie maker, even at higher cost. A little disappointed, but I realize margins are thin, but at least you dont have trump to look forward too, well maybe a little

Bought a hat of each colour!!! :)
The hats fit great and arrived quickly!!! I usually have a hard time finding headwear that fits my coconut, but these were perfect and I will definitely enjoy wearing them often throughout the year. I also love that the design has very woodland-looking neutral tones of a nice double double coffee colour for the mesh part, and a nice olive green or brown for the panels. The logo is high quality raised stitching which looks really nice, and there is no gawdy mishmash of wording, logos and bright colours. This is a hat that will blend in quietly in the bush or on the campsite. Thanks DJ!!!! :

DJ has ALWAYS given quality products the hat I bought has held up though hell and back stained with dirt, mud, ash, and oil and still hold like new. I just purchased the Bucksaw and I will change this if it doesn't hold to my high standards but I'm sure it will be as good as I'm know it will be. Cannot Recommend them Enoug
