Care for your layer
Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle/wool cycle in cold water (50-68°F). Use a mild wool-safe or pH-neutral detergent. Wash with similar colors. Don't bleach or use fabric softener.
Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry. Don't tumble dry, twist, or wring. Cool iron if needed. Store folded in a cool, dry space with airflow; avoid hanging.
Naturally dyed colors can transfer with sweat or friction. Wear them with dark clothing or equipment, wash sparingly, and avoid citric acid, which can lighten the color.

I needed a head covering with no rubber contents. I use it at night and it keeps my head warm , but not overly warm.

Got to use it a couple of times on rides . Fit is a tad small , doesn't completely cover my ears . Weight and comfort/temp level was great . A little more warmth than my lightest , less than my heavier ones . Which is what I was looking for . Seems very well made . Seasons will tell

The beanie is thin but warm enough for mild weather. However it's of no use for me cause it's too small for my head, there is so little extra material left that it barely covers the tips of ears and slowly unwraps even further from my bald head as I walk around. I've checkd with the sizing guide prior to purchase and I fit the One size category.
I've used other expensive merino wool brands but never had such problems, they always leave some extra material for universal fit, however Arms Of Andes is good only for smaller heads.
This was my first purchase from this brand, I paid more that I usually would for a beaning and I think I will not be back.

I like the beanie, but it is not a serious piece of headgear. I would expect something with some substance to it. This is all right as a liner, but not anything I would use when it was cold out. I was looking for something a lot more substantial.
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you like the beanie, though we understand you were hoping for something warmer. You might prefer our Alpaca Wool Folded Beanie Hat (420 Midweight), it’s thicker and designed for colder conditions!
