Key Features
-
Cool-Lite™ Technology: Combines the natural thermoregulation and odor resistance of merino wool with the rapid moisture-wicking and cooling properties of TENCEL™.
-
Year-Round Versatility: Thin enough to provide cooling shade and sweat absorption in the heat, yet provides enough coverage to take the edge off a chilly morning breeze.
-
Natural Odor Management: The merino-blend fabric naturally traps and neutralizes bacteria, keeping the beanie smelling fresh even after back-to-back intense workouts.
-
Ultra-Packable: The incredibly soft, stretchy jersey fabric easily crushes down to the size of a golf ball, fitting effortlessly into a tiny running vest pocket or hip belt.
Care Instructions
Protect the delicate, ultralight fibers to maximize the lifespan of your beanie:
-
Wash: Machine wash on a cold (30°C), gentle cycle with similar colors.
-
Detergent: Use a mild liquid detergent. Never use fabric softeners, as they clog the technical TENCEL/merino fibers and destroy their natural moisture-wicking capabilities.
-
Bleaching: Do not bleach.
-
Drying: Do not tumble dry. Tumble drying will cause the wool and TENCEL to shrink. Line dry in the shade immediately after washing to protect the elasticity and color.
-
Ironing/Dry Cleaning: Cool iron if necessary. Dry cleanable, but standard cold machine washing is highly recommended for longevity.
X-Boundaries Professional Tips
-
The Perfect Helmet Liner: Because it utilizes a 125-weight ultralight fabric without a folded cuff, this beanie is arguably one of the best choices to wear flush underneath a cycling, skiing, or climbing helmet. It absorbs forehead sweat so it doesn't run into your eyes, without causing you to overheat.
-
Rinse and Repeat on the Trail: TENCEL™ dries exceptionally fast. If you are on a multi-day trek and sweat heavily through the beanie, simply rinse it in a stream and wring it out; it will easily air-dry overnight on a tent line.
-
Beware of Snag Hazards: The delicate, lightweight jersey knit can be susceptible to catching. Always wash this beanie in a small mesh laundry bag, or ensure all aggressive hardware (like bra hooks, heavy velcro, or jacket zippers) in the same wash load is securely fastened.
