Very good beanie! It keeps you very warm, fits very well, and is very comfortable to wear compared to other beanies. The color is great too (Olive Green). The only downside is the price—I think it would be more reasonable at under €15. In any case, I really recommend this beanie!
Helikon-Tex Merino Wanderer Beanie - Earth Brown
Cozy and warm docker-style beanie in a brown hue, designed in a universal size. Provides excellent protection against the cold, ensuring optimal thermal insulation in chilly conditions. Crafted from a blend of soft Merino wool and premium acrylic.
Merino wool and acrylic yarn
The beanie is crafted from a blend of natural Merino wool and synthetic acrylic yarn, providing a mix of the softness of natural fibers with the durability of synthetics. This combination ensures the fabric is gentle to the touch, long-lasting, and easy to care for.
- Merino wool, sourced from Merino sheep, is famed for its remarkable softness, thermoregulatory capability, and antibacterial qualities. This material is breathable and retains warmth effectively, even when wet.
- Acrylic, a synthetic fiber, boosts the strength and flexibility of the knit. It resists pilling, maintains its shape, and dries rapidly. It's also lighter than natural wool and less likely to stretch.

Merino Wool is a material with natural antibacterial properties. It is distinguished by the lightness and softness of its fibers, its ability to absorb moisture and its high thermoregulation. The wool does not absorb odors, is anti-static, breathable, easy to clean, fire-resistant, and protects against UV radiation.

The cap is of very good quality, breathable and does not cause the head to sweat. The only drawback is that it protects against cold only up to about -5 degrees; at lower temperatures, I had to put on a hood as well.
-
Great quality hat, I bought another one in a different color 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 fabric. I've tested it and it works perfectly.
-
Great cap, it already proved itself 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, very satisfying.
-
This is one of the best winter hats I own – it is very warm, and the Earth Brown color goes great with green clothing. I especially appreciate the ability to roll 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 range of colors make it suitable for many occasions. I especially like its flexibility.

I bought the cap a week ago, but I can already rate it very positively – the winter weather (January 2026) has hit everyone hard, as winter suddenly appeared. The cap provides excellent protection in frosts of around -13°C and in strong winds, when the perceived temperature drops even to -20°C. I wear it every day because my job requires me to go outside frequently, also in less urbanized areas. The material of the cap is exceptionally pleasant to the touch and significantly improves comfort while wearing it. I chose the color consciously, as I am a big fan of the brown/clay shade from Helikon.

The hat is really high-quality, sturdy, and warm. I bought it as a gift for my husband, and he likes it. The delivery took a bit long, but I guess that's because of the holiday winter season.

Great hat for colder days. It works well in low temperatures, even below 10 degrees. During physical activity, you don't feel moisture because it wicks sweat well. The material is pleasant to the touch, does not irritate the scalp, and lets it breathe, which increases wearing comfort. It's somewhat breathable, which I consider an advantage. Indoors, your head warms up quickly, which shows good insulation. The wool content, even up to 50%, makes a difference.

This is one of the best winter hats I own – it's very warm, and the Earth Brown color goes great with green clothing. I especially like that you can roll it up a lot, so there's a double layer of material over the ears. I definitely recommend it!
-
A really great winter hat. It delivers what it promises. It's really pleasantly warm under the hat, but you should note that with stronger wind it may get a bit cool.
-
This is already my second hat from this collection, this time I chose the green version. The previous one, black, works great. The hat is warm and at the same time wicks away moisture well. Most importantly, it doesn't stretch out. I haven't washed it yet, but it's clear it won't pill or fade. This is one of the best hats I've ever had.
-
A very beautiful and functional hat - it keeps you very warm - and can be adjusted to any head size by folding it. Absolutely high quality - my recommendation to buy!
-
The military cap was carefully sewn and is very useful. The durable material effectively protects against the sun and adverse weather, while also ensuring comfortable wear. Its traditional, tactical design highlights the practicality of the product. It's an excellent option for those who value durability and simplicity in a military style.

Great cap, excellent quality – the brand speaks for itself. It is very warm and fits perfectly on the head. I am very satisfied and confident that it keeps me warm.
