The Merino Wool Beanie is the hat that earns a permanent spot by the door. Made from 100% merino wool, it's soft enough for newborn skin, stretchy enough to stay put through a full day of adventure, and slim enough to fit comfortably under a ski or bike helmet.
Merino regulates temperature naturally, so it works just as hard on a summer hike as it does at the ski hill. Wear it folded for a snug fit or slouchy for a relaxed look. And because there are no scratchy tags or stiff brims, even kids who normally refuse hats tend to leave this one on.
Customers have been using the same beanie for two years and counting. Sized from newborn through adult, it's the one hat your whole crew can share.
Pro tip: stuff it in your jacket pocket on the way out. It takes up almost no space and you'll be glad it's there.

How to Care
- Machine wash on the gentle cycle with cool or cold water and a mild or wool-specific detergent
- Lay flat to dry to preserve shape and softness, or tumble dry on low with similar items
- Hang outside for a few hours to refresh between washes. Merino naturally resists odors and bacteria, so it rarely needs a full wash

the magic of merino
Merino pulls moisture away from the skin, keeping you dry and warm on every adventure.
Your skin deserves the softest touch, and merino delivers without any itch.
Not too hot, not too cold - merino intuitively adapts, ensuring you stay comfy, cozy and cool.
Cause life. Our merino is machine washable and can be laid flat or tumbled to dry.
better adventures
The next-to-skin layer is the most important! Our merino will keep you dry, warm and comfortable making for better, longer adventures outdoors.
better for the planet
Merino comes from our wooly friends, the merino sheep. Unlike polyester/synthetic fabrics that end up in our landfills for hundreds of years (yikes), the iksplorer beanie can be composted in six months.
- 100% natural merino wool—renewable and biodegradable
- machine-washable for easy care
