What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "This beanie's close fit stays put under a helmet, and the merino blend does a stellar job balancing warmth and breathability. It's not bulky, and the modal edging feels soft and helps cut the wind around the ears."When we need lightweight, low-profile warmth that doesn't overheat, we grab the Ortovox Peak Beanie. Designed for everything from crisp morning tours to windswept alpine ridgelines, this technical beanie features a merino wool outer layer that insulates and regulates temperature while managing moisture naturally. Inside the brim, Ortovox adds a soft blend of merino and synthetic fibers that deliver a cooling touch while shielding ears from wind and cold. The streamlined fit tucks under helmets or hoods with ease, and the soft fabric means we can wear it from basecamp to summit without a second thought.
