The cap is of very good quality, breathable and does not cause your head to sweat. The only drawback is that it protects against the cold only down to about -5 degrees; at lower temperatures, I had to put on a hood as well.
Helikon-Tex Merino Wanderer Beanie - Olive Green
Comfortable and warm docker-style beanie in a green shade, with a universal size. Effectively protects against the cold, ensuring proper thermal insulation in colder conditions. Made from a blend of soft Merino wool and high-quality acrylic.
Merino wool and acrylic yarn
The beanie is made from a mix of natural Merino wool and synthetic acrylic yarn, offering a balance between the comfort of natural materials and the practicality of synthetic fibers. This makes the fabric soft to the touch, durable, and easy to maintain.
- Merino wool comes from Merino sheep and is known for its exceptional softness, thermoregulatory ability, and antibacterial properties. This material is breathable and insulates effectively, even when damp.
- Acrylic is a synthetic fiber that enhances the durability and elasticity of the knit. It resists pilling, retains its shape and dries quickly. It's also lighter than natural wool and less prone to stretching.

Great quality hat, I bought another one in a different colour to match my Yukon jacket. It's very warm but at the same time breathable, so my head doesn't sweat. The ears have a double layer of material. I've tested it and it worked brilliantly.
-
Great cap, it has already worked well during cold days. The size is right. The price may be higher, but it is justified by the quality. Shopping at Militaria.pl, as usual, is very satisfying.
-
This is one of the best winter hats I own – it is very warm and the Earth Brown colour goes great with green clothing. I especially appreciate the ability to turn it up and create a double layer over the ears. Highly recommended!
-
Very comfortable and warm hat. I definitely recommend it; the material is pleasant and soft to the touch. The hat fits well on the head and doesn’t slip off. The universal style and wide choice of colours make it suitable for many occasions. I particularly like its elasticity.
-
I bought the cap a week ago, but I can already rate it very positively – the winter weather (January 2026) has made itself felt by everyone, as winter arrived suddenly. The cap provides excellent protection in frosts around -13°C and during strong winds, when the perceived temperature drops even to -20°C. I wear it every day, as my job requires me to go outside frequently, including to less urbanised areas. The material of the cap is exceptionally pleasant to the touch and greatly improves comfort while wearing it. I chose the colour deliberately because I am a big fan of Helikon’s brown/clay shade.
-
The hat is really very high quality, sturdy and warm. I bought it as a gift for my husband, he likes it. Delivery took a bit long, but this is probably due to the festive winter period.
-
Great hat for colder days. It works well in low temperatures, even below 10 degrees. During physical activity, you don't feel humid because it wicks sweat well. The material is pleasant to the touch, does not irritate the scalp, and allows it to breathe, which increases comfort. It is slightly airy, which I consider an advantage. Indoors, the head heats up quickly, which proves good insulation. The wool content, even 50%, makes a difference.
-
This is one of the best winter hats I own – it's very warm, and the Earth Brown colour goes perfectly with green clothing. I especially like that it can be rolled up high, which means there’s a double layer of fabric over the ears. I definitely recommend it!
-
A really great winter hat. It does what it promises. It is really pleasantly warm under the hat, but you should note that in stronger winds it can get a little chilly.
-
This is already my second hat from this collection, this time I chose the green version. The previous black one worked great. The hat is warm and at the same time wicks moisture well. The most important thing is that it doesn't stretch out. I haven't washed it yet, but you can already see it won't pill or fade. It's one of the best hats I've had so far.
-
A very beautiful and functional hat - it keeps you very warm - and can be adjusted to any head size thanks to the turn-up. Absolutely high quality - I highly recommend buying it!
-
The military cap has been carefully sewn and is very useful. The durable material effectively protects against the sun and adverse weather, while ensuring wearing comfort. Its traditional, tactical design highlights the product’s practicality. This is an excellent choice for those who value durability and simplicity in a military style.
-
Great hat, excellent quality – the brand speaks for itself. It is very warm and fits the head perfectly. I am very satisfied and confident that it keeps me warm.
-
The price does not match the quality, because there are no signs that it contains merino wool. The hat may be suitable for winter in milder climates, e.g. in Portugal, where temperatures start from 16°C. In our conditions, where at 0-1°C and wind around 20 km/h it easily lets in the wind and with a perceived temperature of -5°C it gets cold, even if the hat is double-layered. Only with the hood from the jacket does it cope well. I would recommend it rather for autumn or spring.
