Backpacking Light Merino UL Beanie

Weighed On Our Scales » 0.6 oz (17 g)

"Ultralight merino for next to skin wear - a freakishly ultralight beanie cap - half an ounce! Perfect for hiking in cold weather..."

Overview

What do you get when you cross an anorexic sheep with a designer of backpacking gear?

The lightest weight superfine merino wool in the world: 115 g/m².

Backpacking Light brings this fabric into an ultralight beanie - a perfect cap for hiking in cool temperatures.

Testimony

When Ryan Jordan had the prototypes of this beanie produced in September of 2008, he figured "ah, just another wool topper."

What surprised him was the benefit that such a thin cap offers:

"I don't go anywhere without this cap anymore. It's so thin, that the breathability is exceptional, and it provides just the right amount of warmth under a brimmed cap when it's cold out. I've never seen a wool cap this thin, and it seems to me to be the ideal use of merino wool, because of merino's thermoregulation properties, especially when you start to sweat. It's a great action cap."

Features:

Superfine merino fibers minimize skin irritation
Ultralight knit construction offers superior breathability and thinness for high exertion and warm temperatures
Simple design keeps the weight down
Merino fiber protein chemistry results in superior thermoregulation
