FAQs
Is the material itchy?
No, the blend of viscose, polyester, and nylon is designed to be soft against the skin, offering a comfortable experience without the traditional itch associated with coarse wool.
Can this be machine washed?
While it is durable, we recommend a gentle cycle or hand wash to ensure the elasticity of the ribbed knit remains intact.
Does this hat provide enough warmth for skiing?
It is suitable for casual winter activity; however, for high-altitude or high-wind skiing, a dedicated technical performance hat may be more appropriate.
Will this hat shrink in the dryer?
We strongly advise against tumble drying, as excessive heat can shrink synthetic blends and damage the material's elasticity.
Does it come in other colors?
Yes, Barts offers various models like the Wilbert and Haakon in a range of colors including black, grey, blue, and brown.
Troubleshooting
Hat feels too tight initially
The high-quality synthetic blend is designed to stretch over time. Wear it for a few hours to allow the material to conform to your specific head shape.
Visible lint or pilling on the knit
Use a fabric shaver or a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface lint without pulling at the knit structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This beanie does not require any setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Due to the material blend (viscose, polyester, and polyamide/nylon), it is recommended to follow standard garment care to maintain the fabric's integrity. Always check the internal label for specific washing instructions, though generally, hand washing in cool water or using a gentle machine cycle is best. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the synthetic fibers and lead to loss of elasticity. Store in a cool, dry place during the off-season to keep the fabric fresh.
