This is the best high output beanie on the face of the earth.

We dreamt of making a beanie like this.
Probably because so many of the ones we’ve worn have been a nightmare.

Too hot.
Too cold.
Can’t stop thinking about your itchy forehead while your legs finally feel good.
Wet and useless the second you start moving. Fucking Goldilocks bullshit while you’re grinding uphill wondering why this even has to be complicated.

The ones that almost work turn into soaked rags.
Heavy.
Cold.
Miserable.

And somehow the the performance once look weird and the swag ones are miserable to perform in. A Carhartt beanie is cool as hell looking but you’re not blasting 5k vert in that thing while looking like Action Bronson before the weightlifting.

This thing had to hold warmth and get rid of it instantly.
It had to dump sweat, work when wet, and fit like a knit beanie despite being cut and sewn from an existing technical material. We used Polartec® Net Mesh because simply put it was the best possible material that exists for this use case. It blows away alpha direct and we love alpha direct.

And listen before we go into any tech talk:
THIS SHIT IS FULLY MACHINE WASHABLE AND DRYABLE.
No rituals. No babying. Wear it. Destroy it. Wash it. Dry it. Go again. It's all play baby! No responsibility!

Open net-mesh construction lets air rip straight through while holding just enough warmth to stay functional. When the effort spikes, heat and sweat get out pronto instead of pooling on your head like every knit or fleece beanie you’ve ever owned.

Low profile. No bulk.
Wear it alone. Wear it under a shell. Wear it under a helmet.
It works wet. It dries fast. It’s meant to be worn all day but can easily ripped off, stuffed in a pocket, and thrown back on without thinking when conditions flip.

Fabric & Construction

Made from Polartec® Power Dry™ Mesh (156 g/m²), engineered to regulate temperature through airflow and moisture transfer rather than static insulation.

Open mesh structure promotes ventilation
Hydrophobic fibers limit moisture retention
Actively transfers sweat away from the skin
Retains necessary warmth through trapped air without excess heat buildup

Unlike closed-knit fabrics, this construction balances warmth and breathability across a wide range of output levels. It crushes alpha direct for headwear. Regular fleece is dogshit next to this. Merino has little to no loft in most instances. The fabric kicks ass- trust me.
