The wool beanie is the perfect hat for winter and colder days but it can also be worn in spring or autumn. This is because of the natural material’s ability to regulate temperature and wick away moisture, so perspiration won’t accumulate on your skin but rather will be absorbed by the fibres. Wool, especially merino wool, also has the unique quality to protect your head from excessive UVA and UVB radiation.
Beanies are a style of hat that comes in many different shapes and sizes, but the one thing they all have in common is that they are knitted and made from a warm material such as wool. There have been resurgence of the beanie hat since the 1950’s and it has continued to grow ever since. This is because of the great benefits that it has over other hats, particularly when worn by people suffering from skin allergies or with other forms of sensitive skin.
Our wool beanie is the Franz, a breathable, inherently warm and soft hat made from merino wool and fleece lined for a comfortable next-to-skin feel. It’s adventure-ready and designed to keep you warm through the harshest of conditions.
It has a merino wool blend that’s soft, lightweight and itch-free. This combined with our fleece lining means that it’s perfect for high-intensity activities or walks on sunny or brisk days and is perfect for outdoor pursuits where you may need a cap, such as climbing, hiking, skiing and snowsports.
