The hat is very light and keeps you warm well. For severe frost and strong wind, it might be a bit too thin, but for temperatures down to -5 degrees it works perfectly. It's easy to fit in your jacket pocket, so you can always have it on hand and take it out when it gets colder.
Lightweight beanie modeled after the USMC Beanie contract model - made from a blend of high-quality merino wool and recycled polyester. Perfectly insulates against the cold protecting your head from dangerous heat loss.
Merino wool - natural wool extracted from Merino sheep, considered one of the best wools in the world. This wool naturally controls moisture wicking.

At first I was a bit disappointed with it – the hat is soft and pleasant to the touch, but a bit thin, so it’s not suitable for severe frosts like the -23°C we’ve had in Ukraine this year, or for icy winds. It’s more for active movement, your head doesn’t sweat in it and it breathes well. I work in security, so I move around periodically, sometimes indoors, sometimes outdoors, and it’s handy because you don’t need to take it off inside – your head doesn’t get hot like with most cheap acrylic or fleece hats, in which your head gets sweaty and then freezes in the cold. At 0 to -5°C it’s fine, but if it’s windy, you do feel the wind going through it – still too thin, so you need to put a hood on top. Maybe at -10°C it would be okay with a jacket hood over it. That’s exactly what it’s for – your head doesn’t get sweaty when you’re on the move, but if you just stand around outside, it’s not great. Movement is really its element. I think it’ll be just right for spring and autumn.

A lightweight and warm merino wool hat guarantees excellent breathability and comfortable wear. It fits perfectly, doesn't put pressure on your head, and is suitable for everyday use as well as various outdoor activities. It has a classic, minimalist look and effectively protects against the cold.

I really liked the hat. I chose it mainly because of its composition – merino and minimalism. It’s one of my favourites. Recently, I’ve been paying attention to clothes containing merino wool. It keeps you warm, but also allows your skin to breathe. The only downside (typical for wool) is slight pilling. Fortunately, after using a fabric shaver, it looks great again. I definitely recommend this product and the shop Militaria.pl.

Great cap. I chose the black version. Carefully made and looks good. I definitely recommend both the product and the seller. As always, very fast delivery from militaria.pl.

Very comfortable and warm hat, solidly made from material that feels high quality. Ideal for cool autumn and winter days, down to -3/-5 degrees. I highly recommend it, it fits the head perfectly.
-
Another excellent product from Helikon (this time a hat). Very warm and comfortable, doesn't press on the head, quite roomy which is an advantage. Merino wool works perfectly.
-
The hat is warm and pleasant to the touch. Even when it gets a bit wet, it still insulates well from the cold (typical for merino). The colour is practically the same as in the pictures. Fits best on an average-sized head.
-
The hat is carefully sewn and made from a material that gives a sense of good quality. Worked well at -5 degrees during daily use. I recommend it.
-
Very warm hat, the merino wool does its job excellently. The material may pill a little, but shaving it with a fabric shaver restores it to a like-new appearance.
-
Great Helikon hat. Merino wool works brilliantly – it is very warm despite the thin material. Down to -5 degrees I consider it one of the best choices. It may get a little bobbled, but a fabric shaver quickly restores its fresh look.
-
Very comfortable and warm hat. Merino does the job – keeps you warm, offers good wind protection. It is quite short, so it won’t fully cover your ears.
-
The hat is great, very warm and looks excellent. When put on, it doesn't press, you don't need to keep adjusting it, it fits perfectly. For me, the Helikon-Tex logo is important.
-
The hat is very good quality. Fits well, is warm and thickly woven. Insulates well from the cold, doesn't absorb odours. I already have a second one, previously bought a black one. I recommend it.
