The hat is great for the winter season; it’s exactly what you need to wear to feel comfortable and happy. It keeps you warm and wicks away moisture, and I’m glad it’s made of cotton wool — that’s a very big plus.
Helikon-Tex Merino Wanderer Beanie - Olive Green
Warm and comfortable docker-style beanie in a green hue, available in a universal size. Provides excellent protection against the cold, ensuring proper thermal insulation in chillier 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 balance between the softness of natural fibers and the practicality of synthetic ones. This composition results in a fabric that is soft to the touch, durable, and easy to care for.
- Merino wool, sourced from Merino sheep, is renowned for its extraordinary softness, thermoregulation, and antibacterial properties. This material is breathable and efficiently insulates, even when wet.
- Acrylic is a synthetic fiber that boosts the durability and elasticity of the fabric. It is resistant to pilling, maintains its shape and dries quickly. Additionally, it is lighter than natural wool and less susceptible to stretching.

A great hat, exactly the kind I needed. I haven’t had the chance to test it in severe frost yet, but it is very comfortable, looks good, and doesn’t slip off the ears. It also gives the impression of being truly warm. I definitely recommend it.

Great hat, exactly the kind I needed. I haven’t had a chance to test it in very cold weather yet, but it’s very comfortable, looks good, and doesn’t slip off my ears. It also seems really warm. I definitely recommend it.

The hat is very warm and comfortable. It is ideal for autumn days, and it remains to be seen how it will perform in winter. It’s good that it contains some acrylic, because wool on its own, even merino wool, tends to stretch a lot.
-
Very well made hat, perfect fit for my head 56cm, it would fit smaller and also stretch for bigger. The colour is just what I wanted and as shown in the image ( Brown ). Keeps my head warm and can be pulled down over my ears if needed. Not as thick as another brand I have I guess that is down to it being a mix of fibres.
-
For me, this is a great beanie that looks excellent both in terms of material and cut, and it’s also great to wear. It looks well made and like it could last quite a long time, which is very nice for the price.
-
The hat is very warm, doesn't cause itching, and fits the head perfectly. It protects against cold down to about -5 degrees, even in windy conditions. When it's colder, a hood might be helpful. I've tried various hats, but since I got this one, the others remain unused.

The hat is very warm and fits perfectly on the head. It looks great, and the quality of workmanship is really impressive. The color looks even better in real life than in the pictures.

This hat is exceptionally warm and pleasant to the touch. The combination of merino wool and acrylic provides good thermal insulation and breathability, making it comfortable even during intense activity. It works perfectly both in the city and during trips or mountain hikes.
-
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!
-
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 Military, 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.
