Product Information

Full details

This waterproof beanie is for adults seeking reliable headwear for cold and wet outdoor conditions. Its key benefit is keeping your head dry and warm with its advanced Aquasealz technology and insulating microfleece lining. A potential caveat is that while breathable, prolonged intense activity might still lead to some perspiration buildup.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this beanie suitable for extreme cold?

Yes, the Arminghall beanie is highly insulative due to its microfleece lining and durable knit construction, making it suitable for cold environments. It is specifically designed for cold and wet weather.

How does the waterproof technology work?

It uses a three-layer Aquasealz membrane that is completely waterproof and breathable. This membrane, combined with an outer Teflon coating, prevents water ingress while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape.

Can I wear this in mild weather?

While designed for cold and wet conditions, the breathability feature allows for comfortable wear in milder, wet weather. However, it may be warmer than necessary in mild, dry conditions.

What materials is the beanie made from?

The outer layer is made from acrylic knit, and the interior is lined with microfleece. It also contains a polyester waterproof and breathable membrane.

How do I clean the beanie to maintain its waterproof properties?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Air dry away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry or iron.

What does 'roll cuff' mean?

A 'roll cuff' refers to the style of the beanie's brim, which is designed to be folded or rolled up, often revealing a different texture or detail, like the stripe detailing on this model.

Is the Teflon coating environmentally safe?

Yes, the product description specifies an 'eco-friendly Teflon coating' which enhances waterproofness and durability without harmful environmental impact.

Troubleshooting

Beanie feels damp inside after use.

Ensure the beanie is not overtightened, which can restrict airflow. Allow for ventilation by slightly loosening if necessary. If significant moisture persists, consider that very high-exertion activities may still produce more perspiration than the membrane can immediately vent.

Water is not beading on the surface.

The eco-friendly Teflon coating may be diminished over time. Consider a re-waterproofing treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel, following product instructions carefully. Avoid harsh detergents during washing.

The beanie feels too tight or too loose.

The knit construction offers some stretch. For a tighter fit, ensure the roll cuff is fully extended. For a looser fit, the natural stretch of the fabric should accommodate. If the fit is still unsatisfactory, it may be a sizing issue.
