Product Information

Full details

This beanie is designed for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts seeking protection from the elements without compromising on comfort. Its key benefit is the dual-layer fabric that offers warmth and water repellency. A potential caveat is its one-size-fits-most design, which may not suit all head sizes perfectly. The Under Armour Storm Velocity Beanie features UA Storm technology to repel water, a dual-layer construction for warmth and breathability, and reflective details for low-light conditions.

FAQs

What makes the UA Storm technology effective?

UA Storm technology applies a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish to the fabric, which causes water to bead up and roll off the surface instead of soaking in. It works by creating a barrier that repels liquid water while still allowing internal moisture vapor to escape.

Can I wear this beanie in very cold, dry weather?

While it's designed for wet conditions, the dual-layer fabric provides good insulation, making it suitable for cold, dry weather as well. However, if extreme cold is your primary concern without precipitation, other specialized insulated hats might offer more warmth.

How durable is the water repellency?

The initial water repellency is quite durable, but like all DWR finishes, it will naturally decrease over time with regular use and washing. Proper care, as outlined in the instructions, helps to preserve it.

Is the beanie suitable for intense workouts?

Yes, the breathability of the fabric helps manage moisture during intense workouts. The fast-drying exterior also means sweat won't leave the beanie feeling overly saturated.

What are the reflective logos for?

The reflective logos are designed to enhance your visibility to others, such as drivers, during low-light conditions like dawn, dusk, or nighttime. This is a safety feature for outdoor activities.

How should I store the beanie when not in use?

Store the beanie in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it under heavy objects that could crush or deform it.

Troubleshooting

Beanie feels too tight or too loose.

The 'one size fits most' design may not be ideal for all head shapes. For a tighter fit, try adjusting the beanie's position. For a looser fit, gently stretch the beanie in several places while damp. If neither works, consider alternative headwear options.

Water repellency seems reduced.

Wash the beanie according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. If repellency is still low, consider applying a DWR spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel, following product instructions.

Interior feels less warm after washing.

Ensure you are not using fabric softeners, as they can affect the fabric's insulating properties. Follow the machine wash cold and tumble dry low instructions carefully.
