We’ve got about one more month of winter left. By now, our ears are begging for their lives; our toes might never work again; our sneakers and boots will always look salt stained. You’re tempted to lose a layer and ditch the beanie. Then, one morning you do so without checking the forecast. It’s six degrees and you’re frozen. Get yourself one of these pom beanies and defend yourself in this final stretch. Here are 8 of our favorite pom beanies to close out winter.

NBA All-Star Weekend just wrapped. The infamous marker of the season’s midpoint guarantees two things: it’s February, and things are about to heat up. Close out the coldest season in the coolest way with this Elder Statesman x NBA beanie. The price-tag might make your legs weak, but trust that this beanie is unlike any you’ve owned before. Support your favorite squad and do so in 100% cashmere. $420

Burton Analog Bigelow Pom Beanie
Burton is one of the most trusted names on the slopes. It’s the Nike and a basketball court; adidas and a soccer pitch. The two are inseparable. Trust the snowboarders and skiers out there and look to the brand they rely on to stay warm in the coldest of conditions. $25
New Era Wintry Pom Beanie
New Era is one of the OGs in the hat game. Known for their fitted caps and variations of the snapback, those skills translate elsewhere pretty well. This beanie is exactly what we’re talking about. It’s a well-constructed, good-looking beanie at an affordable price. $24
Pendleton La Paz Pom Pom Beanie
This is the desert-chic, hiking-dad look at its peak. The scarlet printed beanie is made out of soft merino wool and will wear perfectly over time. It’ll fade, fit to your head and still feel amazing. Best of all, it’ll still keep you warm. $37
Chamula Original Double Cuff Cap
Chamula Original is the G.O.A.T. of pom beanie making. The hats are hand knit and locally sourced from a few Mexican mountain cities. So, get yourself a few—one for the rest of winter and maybe, somewhere around 40 of them for the rest of your life. They’ll never go out of style. They’re always there for you, and your ears, for a worthy price. $50
Champion Knit Black and White Pom Beanie
This is the ultimate going-to-the-gym-in-the-winter beanie. It’s black and white and made by the same people who have supplied gym-goers with sweatshirts and pants for the past 100 years. It’ll keep you warm outside and during your exercise. $25
