What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I keep this beanie in my running vest and touring pack because it handles sweat better than thicker fleece. It fits cleanly under a helmet, and it dries fast enough to rotate on and off without feeling soggy."We reach for the R1 Daily Beanie when cold weather doesn’t slow down our training or time outside. Whether we’re layering up for a morning run or topping off our kit before a climb into the alpine, this beanie adds light, breathable warmth without getting in the way. Patagonia designed it to manage heat and moisture during high-output movement, keeping us focused on the pace instead of the temperature. The recycled polyester and spandex fleece stretches smoothly over the head and wicks moisture quickly, making it easy to tuck under a helmet or hood. Its low-profile fit stays secure without bulk, and the quick-dry performance keeps us comfortable as intensity changes. For cold starts, fast transitions, or shoulder-season sessions, the R1 Daily Beanie fits into any layering system with minimal weight and maximum versatility.
