Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this beanie windproof?

No, it is made of technical stretch fleece designed for breathability. It will provide warmth but will not block high-velocity wind.

Can I wash this in a machine?

Yes, it is machine washable on a gentle cycle. Always avoid fabric softeners.

Will it fit under a bicycle helmet?

Yes, its low-profile design is specifically engineered for compatibility with cycling, climbing, and ski helmets.

How much does it weigh?

The beanie weighs approximately 30 grams.

Is this suitable for everyday winter use?

It is excellent for active use, but for casual wear in very cold, windy conditions, you may prefer a thicker, wind-resistant option.

Troubleshooting

Beanie feels damp during intense activity

Ensure the beanie is worn snugly against the skin. If it is too loose, the moisture-transfer effect is reduced.

Beanie shifts under helmet

Check that the beanie is pulled low over the ears and forehead before placing the helmet on your head to create a stable base.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your fleece beanie, follow these guidelines:

Care: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fibers and reduce moisture-wicking performance.
Drying: Air dry the beanie. Avoid tumble drying or placing it directly on intense heat sources, as this can degrade the stretch properties of the synthetic fleece.
Compatibility: The beanie is designed to fit under standard climbing and ski helmets. If you find it interferes with your fit, ensure the beanie is centered and not bunched up under the helmet suspension system.
