A beanie made in itchfree 100% Merino Wool PureUll the Norrona pureUll180 Merino Beanie provides lightweight and completely natural warmth for those who are trying to avoid synthetic fibers. This is an ultra-fine 18.5 wool micron, providing the perfect balance between high performance and next-to-skin with an itch-free softness you can wear all day. PureUll is a single jersey knit with a medium- weight of 180g/m2m, and in this hat it is two layer to eliminate exposed seams. In general this fabric is designed to be the most versatile and flexible next-to-skin layer for all-season, any weather use, and this little hat is pocket packable, tucking into a dump, chest, or hand pocket to be handy when you need it. The natural properties of the wool fiber make this hat highly durable against wear and tear, pilling, abrasion and snagging, as well as being naturally temperature regulating, sweat absorbent, and naturally odor resistant. This hat will expand a bit with wear, just rinse it out, lay it flat, and it will return to its original shape. Designed with some extra room in the crown, just roll the brim if you want more fabric over your ears and less on the top of your head. For everyday athletics in the cold and pocket packing when the weather is questionable, this is a quick and cozy no fuss 100% merino wool beanie that’s a staple in our mountain gear bags.
