FAQs
Is this beanie suitable for extreme cold?
Yes, the combination of Merino wool, microfleece lining, and its insulative design makes it highly suitable for cold weather conditions.
How do I clean my Harleston Beanie?
Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Rinse well and dry flat away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry, bleach, iron, or dry clean.
Can I wear this hat in mild weather?
While breathable, it is engineered for cold weather. In milder temperatures, you may find it too warm, especially during physical activity.
What does 'Aquasealz technology' mean?
Aquasealz technology refers to the proprietary waterproof and breathable membrane used in Sealskinz products, ensuring protection from external water while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape.
Is the Merino wool ethically sourced?
Sealskinz is committed to responsible sourcing. While specific details on ethical sourcing for Merino wool vary by supplier, they aim for high standards in their material procurement.
Will my head get sweaty when wearing this in the rain?
The beanie is designed to be breathable, which helps to manage perspiration. The moisture-wicking properties of Merino wool and polyester also contribute to keeping your head drier compared to non-breathable waterproof hats.
How durable is the rib knit design?
The rib knit contributes to the hat's structure and fit. The yarns used (Merino and polyester) are strong and form a tight knit, offering good durability for regular use in outdoor conditions.
Troubleshooting
Beanie feels damp inside after use
This can be due to perspiration. Ensure the hat is not too tight and allow it to air out. Check that the microfleece lining is clean and free of debris that might impede breathability. If it's external moisture, re-evaluate the waterproof seal.
Reduced waterproof performance
The waterproof membrane may require cleaning or re-treatment. Hand wash the beanie gently as per care instructions. Avoid harsh detergents. If performance doesn't improve, consider a specific wash-in waterproofing treatment designed for technical apparel, following product guidelines carefully.
Material feels stiff or loses softness
This can occur if fabric softeners or harsh detergents were used. Hand wash again with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and air dry. Avoid high heat. For Merino wool, specialized wool washes can help restore softness.
