A very light high-pile fleece beanie that provides plenty of warmth without feeling bulky.
Mountain Equipment says:
A high loft fleece beanie for wearing in the mountains and in cities alike.
Our Verdict
At just 38g, the Mountain Equipment Highpile Beanie offers surprising insulation for its weight. The 250g/m² fleece has plenty of loft, but because the fabric remains fairly open, it breathes surprisingly well.
I like the simplicity here. There is very little to go wrong; it packs down easily, and the polyester construction dries quickly if it gets damp.
The trade-off is wind resistance. The open fleece lets more air through, but you can always just put your hood up.
