Product description

Possum Merino Rib Beanie:

Weft's beanies are very popular and for good reason. This beanie provides extreme warmth, is very soft to the touch and very breathable.

What makes this beanie so great is the use of material. It is made of a special blend of soft merino wool and insulating possum fur. This combination makes the hat very warm without being heavy. The idea of combining these two natural fibres comes from New Zealand, and was first developed by a New Zealand knitter as a by-product of the possum (possum) management programme, making merino/possum an eco-friendly choice.

Possum fleece is one of the most extraordinary natural fibres in the world, thanks to its hollow core; this cavity traps a tunnel of air that provides extraordinary warmth (up to 30% more than standard wool garments), while minimising the weight of the fibre. As a sign of how effective this feature is, the only other animal with a hollow core fibre is the polar bear.

In short, the great material and good specifications of this hat make it ideal for bushcrafting!
