I second this...I still have my original issue one, from 1988. This is either worn during the winter, or stuffed in one of my packs. I take my watchcap hiking no matter WHAT time of the year...simply because of its versatility! The new issue ones are synthetic, I believe, and thinner...not sure of their effectiveness.
