Product details
Lightweight Yak Wool Beanie
Our lightweight beanie is made of 100% yak wool and is exceptionally light. Its fine knit provides reliable insulation in cooler temperatures while efficiently wicking away moisture and excess heat. This makes our lightweight beanie ideal for milder, wet, and cold conditions, as well as sweat-inducing activities like fast ascents, trail running, or Nordic walking. It’s also designed to be worn under your climbing and ski helmets, making it the perfect choice for (ice) climbing and ski touring in high-alpine terrain.
The Benefits of Yak Wool at a Glance
Temperature-regulating
Keeps you warm in the cold and cool in the heat by supporting your body’s natural temperature regulation.
Breathable
Wicks moisture away from the body 66% more effectively than merino wool, ensuring a comfortable wearing experience. The most breathable wool on the planet.
Insulates against Cold & Heat
By insulating against the cold 40% better than merino wool, it keeps you comfortably warm even in the deepest sub-zero temperatures. In summer, it insulates against heat, so you’ll never get too hot on the mountain.
Prevents Heat Build-Up
Excess heat is effectively released to the outside, so you won’t overheat even during strenuous activities.
Keeps You Warm Even When Wet
Can absorb up to 35% of its own weight in moisture without losing its insulating power. Even after absorbing moisture, it offers more protection than other materials.
Protects against evaporative cooling
Minimizes evaporative cooling on the skin by immediately wicking moisture away, thus protecting against hypothermia in high mountains.
Highly Water-Repellent
Protects against light precipitation, wind, and fog.
Highly Wind-Resistant
Highly wind-resistant properties and a dense knit guarantee reliable protection against icy high-altitude winds in the high mountains.
Quick-Drying
Dries twice as fast as cotton and 17% faster than merino wool.
Lightweight
Best weight-to-warmth ratio of any wool on the outdoor market.
Anti-bacterial and strongly odor-resistant
Keeps you free of unpleasant odors for up to two weeks, even during strenuous activities.
Protects against UV rays
UPF 50+ for the highest UV protection in high-altitude mountain regions.
Antistatic & Flame-Retardant
Naturally antistatic, flame-retardant, and self-extinguishing.
REDUCED INFRARED SIGNATURE
Naturally possesses a reduced infrared signature in the near-infrared range (NIR-compliant)*
Soft & Itch-Free
Incredibly soft material that is itch-free and reduces friction against the skin.
Durable
Heavy, robust knit for a long lifespan. Up to twice as resistant to pilling as merino wool.
Sustainable
Sustainable sourcing of raw materials that preserves the high plateaus of Central Asia. Fair production by a local manufacturer in Mongolia.
SUITABLE FOR PEOPLE WITH ALLERGIES
Naturally free of lanolin, non-irritating, and breathable, making it particularly well-suited for people with allergies.
