Merino Wool Hats & Scarves

The only issue with winter travel is that you need to pack smart. You need to pack for warmth without over-packing.

The solution lies with Merino wool. An insulating, soft, and fast-drying super-material, it stands up to the rigors of travel – regardless of the season. Our merino wool beanies are the ideal accessories to keep you warm on the road.

Traveling through Transitional Seasons with the Merino Advantage

Spring and fall – the transitional, or shoulder, seasons as they’re known in the travel industry – are notoriously hard to pack for. These times of year are fickle. It’s raining one minute, and dry the next. It’s warm in the daytime, chilly at night.

Luckily, Merino’s two-way climate control stands up to the challenge. Our merino t shirts, bottoms and accessories are breathable, making them a cool comfort in warm weather. But they’re also insulating, trapping in your body heat when the temperature drops. And if your Merino beanie gets caught in a freak rainstorm, no problem. Hang it flat somewhere, towel yourself off, change clothes and wait out the rain – in a few short hours, your Merino beanie will be dry again.

Because of their versatility, these items make the ideal travel accessories for transitional season travel. Pro tip: wear them on the plane to keep your carry-on bag light and minimal.

Merino Wool in Cold Weather

As mentioned, Merino does a fantastic job insulating in cold weather. Like most wools, it’s tightly coiled fibers form a shield against the elements, and trap your body heat in to keep your core warm. Unlike other wools, you don’t have to suffer through scratchy, itchy material. Merino is as soft as they come.

It’s what makes our women’s and men's tops the ideal base and middle layers for winter travel. And it’s what gives our Merino beanie an edge over other winter hats.
